PFS StandardStone Bulwark

Stone bulwarks are slow and steady constructs typically carved from marble or granite. They're often made to serve as works of art when at rest, so some magical crafters employ master sculptors to ensure their constructs make beautiful statues. Older stone bulwarks might be weathered, with scuffed or cracked surfaces or missing noses and digits, but this weathering is largely cosmetic and doesn't adversely impact the bulwark's functionality.

Bulwark Variants

Immense stone bulwarks reside in some ancient ruins, survivors from time-lost civilizations bent on carrying out orders from long-gone masters. These bulwarks are level 15 or higher, and most are Gargantuan. Because their size is so great and the structures they dwell in so dilapidated, the awakening of such stone bulwarks can cause surrounding structures to collapse, ancient foundations to buckle, and ceilings to come crashing down. They can attack with wide, sweeping strikes capable of knocking down multiple targets at once.

Serpentstone bulwarks are snake- or hydra-shaped variants first created by serpentfolk artisans. They have Serpentstone Breath, but lack binding stone and Inexorable March.
Serpentstone Breath [two-actions] (earth, incapacitation, primal) The bulwark breathes a 60- foot cone of green gas. Each creature in the area must attempt a DC 34 Fortitude save. The bulwark can't use Serpentstone Breath again for 1d4 rounds.
Critical Success The creature is unaffected.
Success The creature's body hardens, causing it to become slowed 1 for 1 round.
Failure The creature becomes petrified for 1 minute. It can attempt a new save at the end of each of its turns.
Critical Failure The creature becomes petrified permanently.

Depending on the material from which it is made and the care that went into crafting it, a destroyed stone bulwark may be worth as much as an immaculately sculpted marble pillar or as little as a pile of rubble.
