Mechanical Vulnerability A creature with expert proficiency in Thievery can attempt a check to Disable Device (DC 22) to damage a dig-widget. The DC is 22, and each success deals 20 untyped damage.

30 feet, burrow 15 feet

Melee ◆ drill +14 (fatal d10, finesse), Damage 2d6+4 piercing plus 1d6 bleed

Melee ◆ corkscrew +14 (finesse), Damage 2d8+4 piercing

Fastening Leap ◆ The dig-widget Leaps up 20 feet onto a creature or object and attempts a corkscrew Strike against it. If the Strike damages the target, the dig-widget attaches to the target (typically to the back of a creature). This is similar to Grabbing the creature, but the dig-widget moves with that creature rather than holding it in place. While attached, the dig-widget can't use its corkscrew. The dig-widget can be Shoved off, or it can detach itself with an Interact action.

Sneak Attack A dig-widget's Strikes deal an additional 1d6 precision damage to Off-Guard creatures.
