Its long tail has a ball of spiked metal topped with a glaive’s blade at its tip to complete the likeness to a scorpion’s sting. A high pitched grinding sound comes from within it as it approaches. Ka-BOOM! What had seemed to be a just a broken claw just blew a hole through one of you best troops from across the field….Dead aim(Ex): while not nimble in its movements, the Screecher aims its thunder gun with the accuracy of  a 16 dexterity. It may use its thunder gun in its melee attack routines but still draws attacks of opportunities as normal for firing a missile weapon in melee.Improved Grab (Ex): If a Screecher hits a medium or smaller creature with a claw, it deals normal damage and attempts to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. No initial touch attack is required. The Screecher has the option to conduct the grapple normally, or simply use the part of its claw to hold the opponent. If it chooses to do the latter, it takes a –20 penalty on grapple checks, but is not considered grappled itself; the Screecher does not lose its Dexterity bonus to AC, still threatens an area, and can use its remaining attacks against other opponents. A successful hold lets the Screecher constrict [see below].  When a Screecher gets a hold after an improved grab attack, it pulls the opponent into its space. This act does not provoke attacks of opportunity. It can even move (possibly carrying away the opponent), provided it can drag the opponent’s weight. Screecher Carry weights –quadruple these #’s for draggingLight load 228 lb. or less    Medium load459 lb.or less    Heavy load690 lb or less.Constrict (Ex): A Screecher can crush an opponent, dealing 1d8+4 damage after making a successful grapple check with its claw. This damage is in addition to damage dealt by the claw before the improved  grab was resolved.Trample (Ex): As a full-round action, a Screecher can move up to twice its speed and literally run over any opponents small size or smaller. The Screecher merely has to move over the opponents in its path; any creature whose space is completely covered by the trampling Screecher’s space is subject to the trample attack. A trample attack deals bludgeoning damage 1d8+4 damage  Trampled opponents can attempt attacks of opportunity. Opponents who do not make attacks of opportunity against the Screecher can attempt Reflex saves (DC 16) to halve the damage. A trampling Screecher can only deal trampling damage to each target once per round; no matter how many times its movement takes it over a target creature.Construct traits:—Immunity to all mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, phantasms, patterns, and morale effects).—Immunity to poison, sleep effects, paralysis, stunning, disease , death effects, and necromancy effects.—Cannot heal damage on their own, but often can be repaired by exposing them to a certain kind of effect (see the creature’s description for details) or through the use of the Craft Construct feat. A construct with the fast healing special quality still benefits from that quality.—Not subject to critical hits, nonlethal damage, ability damage, ability drain, fatigue, exhaustion, or energy drain.—Immunity to any effect that requires a Fortitude save (unless the effect also works on objects, or is harmless).—Not at risk of death from massive damage. Immediately destroyed when reduced to 0 hit points or less.—Since it was never alive, a construct cannot be raised or resurrected.—Because its body is a mass of unliving matter, a construct is hard to destroy. It gains bonus hit points based on size, as shown on the following table.Treasure: Once destroyed, the gun and tail tip can be made into masterwork weapons by attaching appropriate stocks/shafts/ hafts.. The head of the tail can be fashioned into a glaive and greatclub by separating the assembly. The gun arm can be used as a musket once a proper stock and trigger is attached. The cost of these repairs would likely be 5 to 10% of the items’ market value.Glaive    308 gp    1d10    x3    —    10 lb.    SlashingThunder gun / musket    800 gp    1d12    x3    150’ range incr.    10 lb.    PiercingGreatclub    305 gp    1d10    x2    —    8 lb.    Bludgeoning~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Smashing an ObjectSmashing a weapon or shield with a slashing or bludgeoning weapon is accomplished by the sunder special attack. Smashing an object is a lot like sundering a weapon or shield, except that your attack roll is opposed by the object’s AC. Generally, you can smash an object only with a bludgeoning or slashing weapon.Armor Class: Objects are easier to hit than creatures because they usually don’t move, but many are tough enough to shrug off some damage from each blow. An object’s Armor Class is equal to 10 + its size modifier + its Dexterity modifier. An inanimate object has not only a Dexterity of 0 (–5 penalty to AC), but also an additional –2 penalty to its AC. Furthermore, if you take a full-round action to line up a shot, you get an automatic hit with a melee weapon and a +5 bonus on attack rolls with a ranged weapon.Hardness: Each object has hardness—a number that represents how well it resists damage. Whenever an object takes damage, subtract its hardness from the damage. Only damage in excess of its hardness is deducted from the object’s hit points (see Table: Common Armor, Weapon, and Shield Hardness and Hit Points; Table: Substance Hardness and Hit Points; and Table: Object Hardness and Hit Points).Hit Points: An object’s hit point total depends on what it is made of and how big it is (see Table: Common Armor, Weapon, and Shield Hardness and Hit Points; Table: Substance Hardness and Hit Points; and Table: Object Hardness and Hit Points). When an object’s hit points reach 0, it’s ruined.Very large objects have separate hit point totals for different sections.Energy Attacks: Acid and sonic attacks deal damage to most objects just as they do to creatures; roll damage and apply it normally after a successful hit. Electricity and fire attacks deal half damage to most objects; divide the damage dealt by 2 before applying the hardness. Cold attacks deal one-quarter damage to most objects; divide the damage dealt by 4 before applying the hardness.Ranged Weapon Damage: Objects take half damage from ranged weapons (unless the weapon is a siege engine or something similar). Divide the damage dealt by 2 before applying the object’s hardness.Ineffective Weapons: Certain weapons just can’t effectively deal damage to certain objects.Immunities: Objects are immune to nonlethal damage and to critical hits.Even animated objects, which are otherwise considered creatures, have these immunities because they are constructs.Magic Armor, Shields, and Weapons: Each +1 of enhancement bonus adds 2 to the hardness of armor, a weapon, or a shield and +10 to the item’s hit points.Vulnerability to Certain Attacks: Certain attacks are especially successful against some objects. In such cases, attacks deal double their normal damage and may ignore the object’s hardness.Damaged Objects: A damaged object remains fully functional until the item’s hit points are reduced to 0, at which point it is destroyed.Damaged (but not destroyed) objects can be repaired with the Craft skill.Saving Throws: Nonmagical, unattended items never make saving throws. They are considered to have failed their saving throws, so they always are affected by spells. An item attended by a character (being grasped, touched, or worn) makes saving throws as the character (that is, using the character’s saving throw bonus).Magic items always get saving throws. A magic item’s Fortitude, Reflex, and Will save bonuses are equal to 2 + one-half its caster level. An attended magic item either makes saving throws as its owner or uses its own saving throw bonus, whichever is better.Animated Objects: Animated objects count as creatures for purposes of determining their Armor Class (do not treat them as inanimate objects).did i build this one right?pic of mini below</blockquote>
