Abilities
A garrholdion is bound to a faction at its creation. It can't harm a known member of its faction, a symbol of its faction, or relics associated with its faction. It gains a +4 circumstance bonus to Perception checks to verify the identity of such creatures and objects. A garrholdion is also bound to a location associated with its faction, such as a fortress, an academy, or a secret hideout. It can't move more than 120 feet from its designated location. Finally, a garrholdion bears an obvious mar
The garrholdion gains an additional reaction each round that can be used only for Shield Block.

Effect: Belief Fortification (Mark)
A creature hit by the garrholdion's belief ray Strike doubts their actions, forcing them to hesitate. The target must succeed at a DC 39 will save or be Stunned 1 (or Stunned 3 on a critical failure). On a critical success, the target becomes temporarily immune to seed of doubt for 24 hours.
Belief is a powerful force. When strong-willed individuals gather beneath a common banner, their unified conviction can take on a life of its own. The result is a garrholdion, a spirit construct that defends the meeting place of the faction that created it.
A garrholdion usually appears as a shimmering, idealized version of a typical faction member, though it might instead shift its appearance among that of specific individuals, never settling on just one. Whatever form it takes, a garrholdion is always marked by its faction's symbol. A Firebrands garrholdion, for example, bears that faction's crossed swords symbol, while a Pathfinder Society garrholdion is marked with the Glyph of the Open Road.
