SPECIAL ABILITIES

Immunity to Magic (Ex)

A shining sentinel is immune to any spell or spell-like ability that allows spell resistance. In addition, certain spells and effects function differently against the creature. A transmute rock to mud spell deals 1d6 points of damage per caster level to a shining sentinel, with no saving throw. Transmute mud to rock, on the other hand, heals any lost hit points. A stone to flesh spell does not actually change the shining sentinel’s structure but negates its damage reduction and immunity to magic for 1 full round.

Light Fortification (Ex)

Whenever a sneak attack or critical hit is scored against a gold-clad creature, there is a 25% chance that the extra damage is negated and damage is rolled normally.

Shatter Weapons (Ex)

Whenever a character strikes a caryatid column with a weapon (magical or non-magical), the weapon takes 3d6 points of damage. Apply the weapon’s hardness normally. Weapons that take any amount of damage in excess of their hardness gain the broken quality.

Statue (Ex)

A shining sentinel can stand perfectly still, emulating a statue. An observer must succeed on a DC 20 Perception check to notice the shining sentinel is alive.
