All-Terrain. The Aesmarcher is not affected by difficult terrain, has a climbing speed of 15 ft and can stick on vertical walls.
Long-range. The Aesmarcher cannot perform a ranged attack at an enemy within 15 ft of it.
Piloted. The Aesmarcher shares initiative with whatever creature is piloting it, and cannot act on its own accord. A creature must be inside the cockpit of the aesmarcher and spend their action, bonus action and remaining movement to pilot the aesmarcher for that turn. If the pilot is not proficient in piloting an aesmarcher, they must make a DC 16 Intelligence check to perform any action through the aesmarcher, doing so at disadvantage on a failure.   Actions
