Final Messenger

Integrating the Messenger

If you are a warforged, you can take a Magic action to integrate a Final Messenger into your body. While it is part of your body, the messenger cannot be targeted by any attack. A messenger can only remain active for 8 hours after it detaches from a warforged body, after which time its energy dissipates and it gains the Unconscious condition. An Unconscious messenger must complete a Short or Long Rest while attached to a warforged, after which it regains its energy, as well as regaining all lost Hit Points. You can only have one messenger attached to your body at a time.

Stored Data

A Final Messenger holds four pieces of data, accessible only to the warforged it is attached to. While the messenger is attached to you, you can take a Magic action to review the data currently stored within the messenger, and if you choose to, change any or all of these data points.

• A destination for the messenger. This can be very specific (a particular apartment in Sharn) or more general (an open marketplace).
• A target individual. This could be a specific person or a category ("Any Karrnathi warforged").
• A single image recorded through the eyes of a warforged attached to the messenger.
• A message of up to 25 words.

Releasing the Messenger

You can release the messenger as a Bonus Action, at which point it flies to its destination by the most direct route possible. Once it reaches the destination it seeks the target individual; if no target has been set, it approaches the nearest warforged.

If Reduced to 0 Hit Points

If you are reduced to 0 Hit Points while a Final Messenger is attached to you, it immediately detaches and seeks out its target. It retains its stored message, but replaces its stored image with the last thing you saw before dropping to 0 Hit Points.
