Artifact — Verdigris's Corroded Claw
Recovered from Verdigris. Resref wln10_ver_art.

Combat signature

Every third round his acid spit stacks a PERMANENT AC decrease on whoever it hits - no prior mechanic here permanently degrades a stat instead of applying a timed effect. On round six, a real epic Mage Armor.

D&D build

Monstrous levels (natural Hit Dice) + PRC Elemental Savant 10; boss flags BOSS, CLEAR, LOOPS, TYPE 26, USED 0, and R13_UNIQUE. The Epic Mage Armor capstone is delivered by the dedicated round hook after the visual telegraph, exactly like every real Epic Spell in this bestiary since round 1.

Caller and encounter

One blueprint only. The Bestiary Caller uses the normal BC_Spawn contract, while the reserved Sparky case maintains a 12% always-on, count-one encounter definition, capped at one live spawn per area.
