I actually added something to my site today though that has a vulnerability so I'll repost here (excuse the screwy font size here but it's not letting me edit it properly after the paste, you can see the original here: <a href="http://www.keyourcars.com/2009/02/17/stone-children/" target="_blank">Key Our Cars » Blog Archive » Stone Children</a>)Child of Stone Level 8 Lurker       Medium Elemental Magical Beast (earth) XP 350             Initiative +11 Senses Perception +7, Tremorsense 10       HP 71; Bloodied 35   AC 22; Fortitude 20, Reflex 20, Will 20   Resist 5 Fire; Vulnerable 5 Cold   Speed 6 <img src="http://www.keyourcars.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_meleebasic.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> Smashing Blow (Standard; at-will)   +13 vs. AC; 2d6+5 and target is pushed 1 square.

It can reappear as a minor action in any square at the end of its movement or stay melded and continue to move through the earth and does not need to trigger Earth Travel again until it exits the earth. Embrace of Stone (Minor; encounter)   Stone flows up and encases the Stone Child in shielding armour.
