Description
An extremely jealous mage created these devastating items. His intention was to create an item that could infiltrate a rival mage's home and destroy him/ her. He succeeded too well, and fell victim to his creations.
These creations are essentially small golems of marble or any other substance that statues are commonly made of. Their camoflage ability is limited only to appearances of stone or metal. They may change their shape (to better fit in with the other normal statues in a mage's home) but retain their material composition.
They are intelligent enough to determine the best stategy to reach their goal but they are not cognizant of anything but destroying a mage.
They may use their fists as attacks. They may attack up to three times with each fist provided the preceeding attack was successful. Thus the damage in a round may range from 2-5 to 8-20.
They have various spell-like abilities specifically useful for attacking mages:
- Cancellation (as the rod) up to four times a day but must touch item.
- Silence as often as desired (once/round) at the 10th level of ability.
- Spell turning once every two rounds.
