Gold Defender

When the gold defender is destroyed, it melts into worthless slag. As it melts, it releases a 10-foot area cloud of fumes and a 10-foot radius puddle of molten metal. Creatures that breathe fumes are exposed to gold defender poison. Creatures that move through the puddle take 10d6 fire damage. The fumes dissipate after 1 round and the puddle cools after 1 minute.

The gold defender's body is made from soft gold, which is particularly pliable. If the gold defender is critically hit with an attack that deals bludgeoning damage, the attack partially bends and reshapes the gold defender. The gold defender becomes Clumsy 2 until it spends an Interact action to bend itself back into shape.

Casting Telekinetic Haul on the gold defender squeezes its form, compressing it into a smaller and much more awkward shape. The gold defender becomes Clumsy 3 and can't use Light Reflection. The gold defender must take a 1-minute activity, which has the manipulate trait, to restore its shape, removing the clumsy condition and restoring its Light Reflection.

The gold defender Strides up to its Speed, pushing back each creature whose space it moves into and damaging them if they try to stop its movement. A creature can attempt to bar the way by succeeding at a DC 37 fortitude save. On a critical success, the resisting creature takes no damage; otherwise, it is damaged as if hit by the defender's fist Strike.
