Her companions use their tanglefoot bags to immobilize the most dangerous looking foes, then loose their razor storms. Once in combat, she 6 uses spiritual weapon which takes the form of a bastard sword on an enemy spellcaster while she joins any melee that develops. Razor Storm Ex : Once per day, a bladeling can expel shrapnel-like bits of its skin in a foot cone, dealing 2d6 points of piercing damage to any creature in the area.
A Reflex save DC 10 halves the damage. Immunities: A bladeling is immune to acid, and it takes no damage from rust attacks despite its metallic hide. Outsider Traits: Darkvision 60 ft. Possessions: Tanglefoot bag, two flasks of acid. They torture and eventually eat their captives. Mascinawi leads a particularly vicious gang of braxat hunters. Breath Weapon Su : Mascinawi can breathe a 30foot-long cone of cold for 3d8 points of cold damage Reflex save, DC 21 for half. Once she has used her breath weapon, she must wait 1d4 rounds before she can do so again.
Mind Blast Sp : This mind-numbing blast extends from Mascinawi in a foot-long cone. Anyone caught in the area must succeed at a Will save DC 14 or be stunned for 3d4 rounds. When using the Psionics Handbook, replace this ability with the mind blast attack mode. Psionics Sp : At will—dimension door, mind blank. Favored Enemy: Mascinawi has selected humans as a favored enemy. She gets the same bonus to weapon damage rolls against creatures of this type.
She also gets the damage bonus with ranged weapons if the target is within 30 feet. Telepathy Su : Mascinawi can communicate telepathically with any creature within 1 mile that has a language.
Encounters Mascinawi always travels with a gang of three to six braxats including herself. She does most of the scouting for the group, using her tracking and stealth skills to stalk prey unseen until her companions can get into position for an attack.
She does not deign to speak with inferior beings. If seen, she usually retreats right away, unless she thinks she can defeat the foe quickly. Tactics Mascinawi typically stalks her prey for two or three days and nights. During the day, she shadows their footsteps, leaving behind trail signs for her companions to find and follow. Once she has learned all she can, Mascinawi directs her gang to attack, usually in the dead of night.
The braxats prepare my using mind blank on themselves, then using dimension door to surround the foe and get close enough for their initial attacks. During the initial attack, one braxat uses a mind blast, one uses confusion, and one uses feeblemind on a previously identified spellcaster.
Any additional braxats use their breath weapons. Thereafter, they quickly try to eliminate anyone not incapacitated in the initial attack. Breath Weapon Su : A braxat can breathe a footlong cone of cold for 3d8 points of cold damage Reflex save, DC 20 for half. Once it has used its breath weapon, the creature must wait 1d4 rounds before it can do so again.
Mind Blast Sp : This mind-numbing blast extends from the braxat in a foot-long cone. Anyone caught in the area must succeed at a Will save DC 15 or be stunned for 3d4 rounds. Telepathy Su : A braxat can communicate telepathically with any creature within 1 mile that has a language. Phalac is a typical example of the species, if a little more experienced than most.
These temporary hit points fade 1d6 rounds after the creature ceases physical contact with Phalac. However, this benefit has an unfortunate side effect. For each round that its hit points including temporary ones exceed its normal hit point total, the target creature must make a successful Fortitude save DC 18 or explode in a foot burst of radiant energy.
A Reflex save DC 18 reduces the damage by half. Phalac rarely informs his hosts of this side effect. Heroic Bond Su : Phalac can envelop and bond to a host. In exchange for these benefits, the host shares half of any earned experience points with the glimmerskin.
Spells that protect against Positive Energy Plane effects prevent Phalac from bonding to a host. Phalac can pass through solid objects, but not force effects, at will. Plane Shift Sp : Phalac can use plane shift at will. Caster level 12th; Will save DC Telepathy Su : Phalac can communicate telepathically with any creature within feet that has a language.
Encounters Phalac is a loner. He tirelessly explores dungeons, cities, nations at war, and other places where he thinks fights or battles might develop. He makes good use of his incorporeality to scout out the local terrain and learn the location of potential foes. Tactics Once Phalac determines that a fight might be at hand, he selects a physically powerful being to serve as a host and approaches, offering to lead the host to a potential foe.
If the selected host takes the bait, Phalac insists on bonding with the host. Though always eager to fight. Phalac never forces a bond on a host. If refused, Phalac leaves and goes directly to the enemy camp, Once in battle, Phalac prefers to challenge the toughest melee opponent on the opposing side. Frashrei is a herd wizard.
He provides magical protection for his people and performs sundry magical services, such as finding lost objects. Berserk Rage Ex : If Frashrei sees a herd member killed or incapacitated, he flies into a berserk rage. Trample Ex : As a standard action during his turn each round, Frashrei can trample opponents at least one size category smaller than himself. A trampled opponent can attempt either an attack of opportunity at a —4 penalty or a Reflex save DC 15 for half damage.
Familiar Benefits: Frashrei has an empathic link with his familiar to a distance of 1 mile. He can share spells with familiar and use his familiar to deliver touch spells. Improved Evasion Ex : When Tonam is subjected to an attack that normally allows a Reflex saving throw for half damage, she takes no damage if she makes a 9 successful saving throw, and half damage even if the saving throw fails.
Empathic Link Su : Frashrei can communicate telepathically with Tonam at a distance of up to 1 mile. Frashrei has the same connection to an item or a place that Tonam does. Share Spells: Frashrei may have any spell he casts on himself also affect Tonam if the latter is within 5 ft.
At the time. Touch: Tonam can deliver touch spells for her master. Encounters Frashrei takes long walks through the countryside, enjoying nature and gathering his own food.
He most often travels alone, by may take younger loxos along with him as students, or perhaps as guards in times of danger. He casts expeditious retreat to stay out of melee contact, and uses magic missiles from his wand and his summon swarm spell to deter pursuit.
If a foe proves persistent, he might send Tonam, his hawk familiar, to bring help. Skip is fond of old movies, old airplanes, and old books, but not necessarily in that order. He lives with his wife Penny in the Puget Sound area with their Siamese cat and several birds. More Half-Golems! Visit our website at Half-golems are the results of good-intentioned actions taken too far. While the application of a poultice infused with curative herbs or the casting of a spell can save the life of an injured or diseased person, only powerful magic can replace a missing limb.
Such magic is often beyond the reach of the ordinary person working in a quarry or a mill, or scything a field of grain, who suffers the loss of one or more limbs. Arcane artisans applied their knowledge of golem construction to come up with a way to restore such a person to wholeness. While the initial results seemed promising, there was a limit to the effectiveness of the technique—many people who received one or more new limbs through this process proved unable to withstand the trauma of the transformation and became permanently evil as a result.
Individuals of evil intent now exploit this limitation, purposely creating ravening, unholy crosses between living beings and golems. The first is constructing the limbs, and the second is attaching the limbs. Molding a limb from brass, preparing one made of dragonflesh, or shaping it from stained glass requires an appropriate skill see the specific half-golem descriptions that follow for details and can be done by anyone. It takes one month to complete the magical rituals.
The creator must labor for at least eight hours each day in a specially prepared laboratory or workroom. When not working on the rituals, the creator must rest and can perform no other activities, just as if he or she were creating a golem.
Once created, the limbs are treated as spell completion items. Any character capable of casting the appropriate level of spell see specific descriptions can attach a limb.
Any such attempt automatically fails, leaving the second type of limb unattached. The Danger Each time a limb is attached to his or her body, the character makes a Will save. As soon as the character fails one of these required saves, he or she becomes a half-golem of neutral evil alignment. A neutral evil half-golem retains the memories and knowledge of its former life, but its personality becomes murderous and cruel. It demonstrates the hatred of flesh creatures common to elementals, and it seeks methods appropriate to its class to slaughter as many flesh creatures as possible.
Upon failing the Will save, the character has no Constitution score and gains construct traits. There is no minimum level or Hit Dice requirement to become a half-golem.
Each half-golem takes on the characteristics of a particular type of golem dragonflesh, stained glass, or brass as described later in this enhancement. Hit Dice: Same as character. Speed: Same as character, but a half-golem cannot run.
AC: A half-golem replaces any natural armor bonus it may have had with a new natural armor bonus that varies according to its type see the table above. Attacks: Same as character. Damage: Same as character. Special Attacks: Same as character and see the table above. Special Qualities: Same as character; plus construct traits with a failed Will save , damage resistance see table above , and others by type see table above. Except for Constitution, all ability scores have a minimum of 1, regardless of penalties.
Strength varies by type see the table above. Skills: Same as character, modified by new Intelligence score. Feats: Same as character. Organization: Solitary, pair, or squad 5— Treasure: Standard. Alignment: Same as character if all Will saves succeed or always neutral evil if any Will save fails. Advancement: By character class. Straightforward, unsubtle combatants, halfgolems usually rely on their great strength to win the day.
They rarely use teamwork or cooperation, even when banded together. All half golems have magic immunity, and one that has failed a Will save also has construct traits. Construct Traits: A half-golem is immune to mindaffecting effects, poison, sleep, paralysis, stunning, disease, death effects, necromantic effects, and any effect that requires a Fortitude save unless it also works on objects. The creature is not subject to critical hits, subdual damage, ability damage, ability drain, energy drain, or death from massive damage.
It cannot heal itself but can be healed through repair. It cannot be raised or resurrected. A half-golem has darkvision foot range. Magic Immunity Ex : Half-golems completely resist most magical and supernatural effects, except as noted in the individual half-golem descriptions below. Those who seek revenge generally become fighters or rogues. Those who retreat from it 3 become barbarians, rangers, or druids.
A rare few become, or remain, evil clerics. A half-golem looks like a bizarre and horrifying melding of a golem and the character it once was.
The materials of its golem limbs twine and crawl across its flesh, like ivy growing across a building or tree. Half-golems speak whatever languages they spoke before their transformation, but their voices sound harsh and strangled.
Each of the three half-golems presented here uses a 1st-level half-orc fighter who has failed a Will save as the character. Stained Glass Half-Golem Stained glass half-golems seem weirdly attractive.
