These cruelly curious fey obsess over finding and making unusual traps and sadistic weapons, and their favorite amusement is se eing these traps sprung or the weapons wielded. When on the Material Plane, they are frequently found in urban areas, particularly slums or other parts of town where they can either go unnoticed or be easily forgotten—and have plenty of victims to choose from. A typical gimmerling disguises itself as an endangered child, doing so in hopes of drawing creatures close enough to rob. The gimmerling puts itself in apparent danger using a trap, construct, or bribed ally, or even a coerced monster like a redcap. Because gimmerlings sometimes trade obscure smithing or trapping techniques in exchange for gifts that sate their curiosity, their greed, or their hunger, they have at times been worshipped as minor gods of the forge. Some disciplined gimmerlings work as honored artisans, elite guards, or spies for the demigods known as the Eldest who dwell in the depths of the First World. **__Recall Knowledge - Fey__ (__Nature__)**: DC 32' hp: 235 hp_misc: null items: - +1 striking hand crossbow (20 bolts) languages: - Aklo - Common - Sylvan level: 12 melee_attacks: - action_cost: One Action damage: - formula: 2d8+7 type: slashing - formula: null type: Disarm name: claw to_hit: 26 traits: - agile - finesse - action_cost: One Action damage: - formula: 3d8+7 type: piercing - formula: 2d6 type: poison name: jaws to_hit: 26 traits: - finesse name: Gimmerling perception: 21 ranged_attacks: - action_cost: One Action damage: - formula: 2d6+3 type: piercing - formula: 2d6 type: poison name: hand crossbow to_hit: 28 traits: - range increment 60 feet - reload 1 rarity: Uncommon saves: fort: 22 fort_misc: null misc: null ref: 25 ref_misc: null will: 19 will_misc: null sense_abilities: - action_cost: None critical_failure: null critical_success: null description: Hungersense allows the gimmerling to sense creatures that require food to live. effect: null failure: null frequency: null maximum_duration: null name: Hungersense range: null raw_description: '**Hungersense** Hungersense allows the gimmerling to sense creatures that require food to live.' requirements: null saving_throw: null stages: null success: null traits: null trigger: null senses: - hungersense (imprecise) 30 feet - low-light vision size: Small skills: - bonus: 23 misc: null name: Crafting - bonus: 25 misc: null name: Deception - bonus: 21 misc: null name: Nature - bonus: 25 misc: null name: Stealth - bonus: 25 misc: null name: Thievery sources: - abbr: Bestiary page_start: '177' page_stop: null speed: - amount: 30 misc: null type: Land - amount: null misc: null type: trickster's step spell_lists: null traits: - Fey weaknesses: - amount: 10 misc: null type: cold iron
