A sunderer's right hand is an over-sized morningstar head fashioned from the same steel as the rest of the golem.A sunderer stands about six-feet tall and weighs around 500 pounds. Despite appearances, it is not an animated suit of armor, but is actually an animated metal statue crafted to resemble a fully-armored warrior. Sunderers cannot speak nor make any sort of vocal noise. They do not have a distinguishable odor. Their movements are fluid but somewhat ponderous.COMBATSunderers are formidable opponents. They strike with their over-sized morningstar hand. Against objects, a sunderer's magical power is especially destructive. Sunderers possess a high degree of resistance to attacks.Sundering (Su): When striking an object or a foe's weapon or shield, a sunderer does not provoke attacks of opportunity. The sunderer's attack is treated as a Medium-size weapon. The magical nature of its attack inflicts double damage against said object or weapon. A sunderer is 50% likely each round to attack a foe's weapon rather than the foe himself.Construct: Immune to mind-influencing effects, poison, disease, and similar effects. Not subject to critical hits, subdual damage, energy drain, ability damage, or death from massive damage.Magic Immunity (Ex): A sunderer is immune to all spells, spell-like abilities, and supernatural effects, except as follows. Electricity effects act as a slow spell for 1d6 rounds (no saving throw). Fire effects negate any slow effect in place on the sunderer and heals 1 point of damage per 6 points of damage the fire effect would have otherwise inflicted. A sunderer does not roll a saving throw against fire effects. Cold effects temporarily weaken the sunderer's natural armor, reducing its AC by 5 points for 1d4 rounds (no saving throw, but the sunderer's AC cannot be reduced more than 20 points).Rust Vulnerability (Ex): A sunderer is affected normally by rust attacks, such as those of a rust monster or a rusting grasp spell.CONSTRUCTIONA sunderer's body is sculpted from 500 pounds of iron mixed with nickel. The golem costs 25,000 gp to create, which includes 375 gp for the raw materials. Assembling the body requires a successful Craft (armorsmithing or weaponsmithing) check (DC 20).The creator must be at least 14th level and able to cast arcane spells. Completing the ritual drains 500 XP from the creator and requires geas/quest, limited wish, shatter, and stoneskin.</blockquote>
