Tweak (Gremlin)

No. Appearing: d8+3
Size: 1'

These  creatures skulk around at night. If they find equipment or weapons, it  will fascinate them, and they will try to “tweak” it with their tools.  Use the table below, and/or feel free to creatively come up with your  own “tweaks.”  The more complicated the equipment, the more it will  attract them.
