[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5871866, member: 57383"] Methinks cloth golems target laundry ladies regardless of their political inclinations... ;) Anyhow, I like the idea of a "Self-Folding" ability were the golem pretends to be a pile of laundry. I prefer a Camouflage approach to a Hide bonus, since the golem doesn't have any skill points to put in Hide and it spares us having to give it a racial bonus to Hide (laundry). Well I prefer the size reduction version, but we could use an Escape Artist bonus, maybe something like: [B]Skills (Ex) #1:[/B] Cloth golems have a +10 racial bonus to Escape Artist checks. [B]Skills (Ex) #2:[/B] Cloth golems have a +10 racial bonus to Escape Artist checks and can always choose to take 10 on Escape Artist checks, even if rushed or threatened. A cloth golem can take 20 on an Escape Artist check as a full-round action. Upon reflection, I definitely prefer the "fit in tight spaces as if 1 size category smaller" approach, as that would allow it to easily enter (and fight in!) human-scale residences without penalty. If we do it as an Escape Artist bonus, it also makes the cloth golem expert at escaping nets and [I]entangle[/I] spells, which I'm not really in favour of: So, something like this: [B]Self-Folding (Ex):[/B] As a full-round action, a cloth golem can fold itself into a pile of cloth. In this form, it takes a DC 25 [B][[COLOR=Red]?[/COLOR]][/B] Spot check to notice a cloth golem before it attacks. The golem can self-unfold back into its normal pseudo-humanoid shape as a move action. [B]Squeeze (Ex):[/B] A cloth golem's boneless fabric body allows it to move and fight in confined spaces as if it was a Medium sized creature (although it still has the Space and Reach of a Large creature). In addition, a cloth golem can fit through a gap as narrow as 6 inches square [B][[COLOR=Red]?[/COLOR]][/B] as a full round action. [B]Skills (Ex):[/B] Cloth golems have a +10 racial bonus to Escape Artist checks. [/QUOTE]
