Obsidian Golem

Creature 16 (uncommon) — construct, golem, mindless

Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.

The art of golem animation is not limited to societies with access to expensive crafting materials or a long history of arcane mastery. Among the resource-poor xulgaths who dwell in the Darklands, especially those hardy clutches that call the Black Desert their home, obsidian is one of the most common crafting materials available. Combine this ingredient with a powerful spellcaster and the xulgath tradition of inflection-magically warping and working normally inflexible stone-and the end result

Abilities

Assimilate Lava — An obsidian golem that submerges itself in lava or magma takes no damage from it, and for as long as it remains submerged, it becomes Slowed 2 and gains fast healing 15.
Golem Antimagic — Harmed by sonic (8d10 untyped, 2d10 untyped from areas or persistent damage); healed by cold (area 2d10 healing HP); slowed by fire Golem Antimagic
Vulnerable to Shatter — Casting a Shatter spell on an obsidian golem affects the golem normally, but also causes jagged chunks of obsidian to flake off its body. The squares on which the golem was standing (or the squares below it, if it was flying) become difficult terrain.
Fling Shards — The obsidian golem slings razor-sharp shards of itself in a 15-foot cone. Creatures in the area take 4d8+9 slashing damage (DC 37 Reflex).
Shred Armor — An obsidian golem's body is so sharp that it tears through armor like a knife through butter. Whenever the golem scores a critical hit with a fist Strike against a creature wearing non-adamantine armor, the creature's armor becomes Broken.
