In places where magic, alchemy, and engineering converge, there are often unforeseen side effects on the environment and its inhabitants. Scrapborn sometimes result from this strange convergence. Mostly, scrapborn appear to be walking piles of assorted junk, seemingly assembled at random. Their actual bodies are vaguely humanoid with delicate, spongy green skin.

Abilities

Rebuild Armor — Critical Success The target is unaffected.
Success The target's armor takes 1d8 piercing damage, ignoring the armor's Hardness.
Failure The target's armor takes 2d8 piercing damage, which ignores the armor's Hardness; if this causes the armor to become broken, the scrapborn can incorporate the removed armor piece into its own body and raise its AC by 1 (to a maximum of 22).
Critical Failure As failure, except instead of damage, the target's armor is automatically reduced to its BT and the scrapborn increases its AC by 2.

WORKS WELL WITH
AnvilLAND / AQUATICA durable frontline body absorbs direct hits while this scavenger wears down a target's armor from melee or thrown range.
WeaverLAND / AQUATICA caster who lowers defenses compounds the growing vulnerability created by this creature's armor-degrading attacks.
SniperLAND / AQUATICSustained ranged pressure keeps punishing a target whose armor this creature has already begun to strip away.
PUNISHES
✖ heavy armor reliance✖ standing still✖ melee reliance
Avoid stacking with another armor-degrading attacker; the debuff doesn't compound meaningfully once armor integrity is already failing.
