SPECIAL ABILITIES

Aurumvision (Ex) The Aurummorpher can perceive anything made of gold as with blindsense.

Aurum Retribution (Su) The Aurummorpher's body is a conduit of golden energy. Any creature that hits the Aurummorpher with a melee attack takes 2d6 points of damage as shards of sharp, magical gold burst from the point of impact. This damage is not reduced by Damage Reduction. This ability does not trigger on touch attacks or effects that do not deal physical damage.

Golden Empowerment Aura (Su) The Aurummorpher radiates an aura of golden energy in a 60-foot radius. Other creatures made of gold within this aura are continuously empowered, gaining a +2 enhancement bonus to their attack rolls, AC, and all saving throws. This aura is always active, and the bonuses do not stack with each other if multiple Aurummorphers are present.

Gold Glide (Ex) A burrowing Aurummorpher can pass through gold or almost any other sort of precious metal as easily as a fish swims through water. If protected against fire damage, it can even glide through molten gold. Its burrowing leaves behind no tunnel or hole, nor does it create any ripple or other sign of its presence. A move metal spell cast on an area containing a burrowing Aurummorpher flings the creature back 30 feet, stunning it for 1 round unless it succeeds on a DC 15 Fortitude save.

Gold Golem (Su) Once every 1d4 rounds, the Aurummorpher can shape a significant amount of gold into a golem-like servant. This creature can follow simple commands and fight on behalf of the Aurummorpher.

Golden Flow (Su) The Aurummorpher can command any non-magical gold in a 30-foot radius to move as though it were liquid. This can be used to create difficult terrain, disarm opponents, or even create a wall or barrier of flowing gold.

Molten Gold (Su) As a standard action, the Aurummorpher can cause any non-magical gold object within 60 feet to heat up and turn into molten gold. This includes gold coins, jewelry, and similar small items. If a creature is wearing, carrying, or holding the affected object, it takes 10d6 fire damage (Reflex half, DC = 10 + 1/2 the Aurummorpher's HD + its Charisma modifier)

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Immunity to Magic (Ex)

A gold golem has immunity to any spell or spell-like ability that allows spell resistance. In addition, certain spells and effects function differently against the creature, as noted below.

A magical attack that deals electricity damage slows a gold golem (as the slow spell) for 3 rounds, with no saving throw.

A magical attack that deals fire damage breaks any slow effect on the golem and heals 1 point of damage for each 3 points of damage the attack would otherwise deal. If the amount of healing would cause the golem to exceed its full normal hit points, it gains any excess as temporary hit points. A gold golem gets no saving throw against fire effects.

Auric Radiance (Su)

Once every 1d4 rounds, the gold golem can unleash a burst of light from its body. Every creature within a 30-foot radius must make a DC 17 Fortitude save or take 8d6 points of damage and be blinded for 1 round. A successful save halves the damage and negates the blinding effect. The save DC is Constitution-based.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Aurumvision (Ex): The Aurumancer can percive anything made of gold as with blindsense.

Transmute Rock to Gold (Sp): The Aurumancer can change a small section of rock (5-foot cube) into pure gold once per day. This gold can turn back to rock with dispell magic.

Golden Shield (Su): As a swift action the Aurumancer can turn its own gold into a shield to absorb one attack or spell.

Aurum Beam (Sp): The Aurumancer can fire a concentrated beam of magical energy that turns whatever it hits into gold, dealing damage and potentially immobilizing an opponent. You must succeed on a ranged touch attack with the ray to deal damage to a target. (Fortitude DC 27 to avoid petrification).

Gilded Grasp (Su): The Aurumancer can cause golden chains to spring from the ground and restrain all targets the Auramancer can percive. The Aurumancer spends a part of its innate magical energy to suppress the target's freedom of movement and magical bonuses to Escape Artist or on checks to escape a grapple. This ability also duplicates the effect of dimensional anchor. The chains have the ghost touch special property, and an incorporeal creature that they grapple gains the grappled condition (Reflex negates, DC 20). The CMD of Gilded Grasp, for the purposes of escaping the grapple, is equal to 10 + its CMB. Gilded Grasp is a swift action and lasts until the beginning of the Aurumancer's next turn.

Golden Resurrection (Sp): Once per week, the Aurumancer can resurrect a fallen ally as a gold-skinned servant with a portion of its abilities.
