Nimblewright

Nimblewrights were humanoid-shaped constructs that were typically employed as guards, assassins  or spies.

Description
Nimblewrights humanoid constructs made of wood or steel-colored metal. When disguised with clothing and magic, they could easily pass for any humanoid creature of similar size. Each nimblewright had a pair of rapiers that folded into their arms when not in use.

Personality
Nimblewright were created with intelligence, and each possessed a distinct, though chaotic, personality. This allowed for more intuitive thinking and creativity than most other constructs were capable of.

Abilities
As constructs, nimblewrights were immune to a variety of things, including mind-affecting magic, poisons and diseases, and death and necromantic effects. The could not be stunned, paralyzed, or put to sleep either. However, nimblewrights were vulnerable to the cold, which caused them to slow, and fire, which could stun one.

Nimblewrights had darkvision and were recorded to speak the Common, Dwarvish, and Elven languages, although their construction meant that they could speak at least one language that their creator knew.

Combat
Thanks to their lightweight construction, nimblewrights were excellent duelists, capable of effectively dodging and parrying blows while swiftly attacking with rapiers and daggers.

Creation
This was the procedure to animate nimblewrights by magic, that could be different by how they are made in Lantan since Lantan is more on the technological side. Like golems, nimblewrights were create by binding an unwilling elemental spirit to the construct - a water elemental. The spirit is then subject to the will of the creator. The creator must be a high-level arcane caster. The procedure is demanding in terms of money and experience points.

History
In the late 15th century DR, numerous nimblewrights constructed in Lantan existed in Waterdeep. Four of them worked at the Sea Maidens Faire, under the command of Jarlaxle Baenre.
