Agreed to sticking to charm person.

Agreed to Shade's blinding brilliance. I think making the DR higher than the greater stone golem's is a good way to peg them on a similar CR level with the diamond golem's reduced HD.

Technically finished, but the AC is really really bad for a CR 5, especially one with that few HP. Can we give her some sort of unearthly grace type ability?

Not Lightning Reflexes. Stand Still or Weapon Focus (gore)

Strike "natural", replace with "magical".

I like the blinding flash.

No thanks. It's already got DR/slashing. The combo makes it pretty impossible to damage. Edit: In Pathfinder, the howler quill penalty is straight sickened, which I rather like.

I prefer negotiator as well.

The only things with DR 10/- are elementals, and this isn't that tough. DR 5/-

Sure. Vulnerability to sonic may also be appropriate.

Splinters like a howler's quills appeal.

Perhaps they can make Know (architecture and engineering) checks to ignore x points of hardness, and convey that information to allies?

I think we should put a rank into Climb, if only for the reason that we can include it in the stat-block. Also, considering its religious role, adding Know (religion) and Know (dungeoneering) makes sense, again if even only a few ranks.

Cleon's stats appeal.

Slotting it in between a flesh golem and a stone golem works for me, but only if we give it some manner of special attack--all golems except flesh have one, and this as written now is just a beat-stick. How about DR 5/slashing and adamantine?

Wait, do you mean you favor Persuasive because it gives them a boost to Intimidate, despite them not having any ranks in? Negotiator: +2 to Diplomacy, Sense Motive Persuasive: +2 to Bluff, Intimidate

I agree with your assessment on using the stats for a stone golem as a start. As you already know, I strongly dislike the immune to natural defenses. We'll see what freyar's opinion is.

This seems pretty hazard-y to me too.

All of those (including Listen and Spot) sound appropriate.

Hm. Four monsters in one. First thought--the caldron should have the ability to grapple multiple opponents without penalty.
