TACTICS

Before Combat A mosaic tile golem tasked with guarding or securing a location flattens itself so as to go unnoticed to would-be trespassers.

During Combat When an interloper treads upon the golem, it unfurls itself into its full form and attacks, crushing and pounding its unsuspecting victim.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Camouflage (Ex)

While flattened, a mosaic tile golem is nearly indistinguishable from the surrounding floor. It takes a DC 30 Perception check to notice a flattened mosaic tile golem for what it is. Creatures with stonecunning receive their bonus to notice a flattened mosaic tile golem.

Energy Absorption (Su)

Any energy-based (acid, fire, cold, electricity, sonic) attack that directly targets a mosaic tile golem is absorbed into its body dealing no damage to the golem. A mosaic tile golem can either use the absorbed energy to repair itself, healing 1 hit point for every 3 points of damage the attack would have otherwise dealt, or it can release the energy in a 30-foot cone that deals the same amount of energy damage it absorbed, up to a limit of 24 hp to all creatures within the area (DC 14 Reflex halves). The mosaic tile golem can store the energy for a number of rounds equal to half its Hit Dice (four rounds for the standard mosaic tile golem) before releasing it as a blast. The DC for this ability is Constitution-based.

Flatten (Ex)

As a standard action, once per round a mosaic tile golem can flatten its form to become (or appear to become) a section of floor, road, or any other stone surface.

While flattened it cannot move or attack and its damage reduction increases to 20/adamantine. A mosaic tile golem can reform into its chosen shape as a standard action.

Immunity to Magic (Ex)

A mosaic tile golem 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 it (as the slow spell) for 2d6 rounds, with no saving throw. A transmute mud to rock spell heals all its lost hit points; A stone to flesh spell does not actually change the golem’s structure, but it negates the mosaic tile golem’s damage reduction for 1 round.

Stunning Blow (Ex)

Any creature hit by a mosaic tile golem’s slam attack must succeed on a DC 16 Fortitude save or be stunned for 1 round.

The DC for this ability is Constitution-based and receives a +2 racial bonus.
