Special Abilities

Immunity to Magic (Ex)

A stone idol is immune to any spell or spell-like ability that allows spell resistance. In addition, certain spells and effects function differently against the creature, as noted below. A transmute rock to mud spell slows a stone idol (as the slow spell) for 2d6 rounds, with no saving throw, while transmute mud to rock heals all of its lost hit points. A stone to flesh spell does not actually change the stone idol's structure but negates its damage reduction and immunity to magic for 1 full round. A disintegrate spell deals +50% damage to a stone idol. A chaos hammer, holy smite, order's wrath, or unholy blight spell deals 1d4 points of damage per two caster levels to a stone idol if the creator's alignment matches one of the aforementioned spells.

Rejuvenation (Su)

Unless a stone idol's main body is shattered into small fragments and scattered to the winds, the creature reforms itself at full strength in 1d4+2 days.

Site Bound (Ex)

A stone idol cannot travel more than 200 feet from a central point designated by its creator. Once this point is selected, it can never be changed. A stone idol taken outside the area ceases functioning until it is brought back into the area.

Breath Weapon (Su)

The stone gargoyle's breath weapon is a cone of superheated steam and water. Creatures of an alignment opposite that of the cleric that created the stone gargoyle are also sickened 1d4+3 rounds if they fail their save. The save DC is Constitution-based and includes a +2 racial bonus.

Ecology

Environment: Any

Treasure: none


Stone gargoyles stand 7 feet tall and weigh about 600 pounds. Though they have wings, they cannot fly. They can give the appearance of flight by leaping from high places and flapping their stone wings.

Construction

A stone gargoyle's body is chiseled from a single block of hard stone, such as granite, weighing at least 2,000 pounds. The stone must be of exceptional quality, and costs 3,000 gp.
