Iron Warden
Creature 13 (uncommon) — construct, mindless
AnvilCrasherLANDconstructpoison
Traditionally crafted into the forms of giant suits of armor or powerful animals, iron wardens are products of exquisite artistry and skill. Their articulated joints and sturdy, armored bodies require great care and mathematical precision to craft, and regular cleaning and oiling ensure they don't rust over the ages. With proper care, iron wardens can remain in good shape for thousands of years, being passed down for generations, as long as they aren't destroyed by meddlesome adventurers. In add

Abilities
Shield Arm — The iron warden has a shield built into its arm, that it can use as a steel shield (+2 to AC and Hardness 5). Because it's a part of the iron warden, all damage in excess of its Hardness is dealt only to the iron warden.
Shield Block —
Breath Poison (arcane, poison) — The iron warden exhales poisonous gas in a 10-foot burst centered on the corner of one of the iron warden's squares. The gas persists until the start of the warden's next turn. Any creature in the area (or that later enters the area) is exposed to the iron warden's poison.
The warden can't Breathe Poison again for 1d4 rounds.
The warden can't Breathe Poison again for 1d4 rounds.
Inexorable March — The iron warden Strides up to its Speed, pushing back each creature whose space it moves into and damaging them if they try to stop its movement. A creature can attempt to bar the way by succeeding at a DC 37 Fortitude save. On a critical success, the resisting creature takes no damage; otherwise, it's damaged as if hit by the iron warden's fist.
