Thank you so much, everyone!

Yeah, it's a CR 12 monster from the Shattered Star AP. That same AP gave them the scarab, but that was way back in the first module and this is the fifth. I agree that it'd be a pretty powerful effect for such a low cost item, but I certainly didn't want to seem unfair.

And thank you for the help with Rapid Actions and Spring Attack too!

They're going to fight these things in just a few hours and I'm crossing my finger that the inevitable annoyance they feel with how hard these things are washes away into satisfaction when they finally break them into little pieces. That said! Anytime I worry about encounters that's almost always when the players absolutely steamroll them and it turns out I shouldn't have worried at all. Maybe the scarab won't even factor in and they'll all just got insanely good perception rolls to notice that they're not like the other statues.

Thank you again! You were super helpful.

Hello hello! I'm running an AP where a player has a golembane scarab and the characters are about to encounter Advanced quickling caryatid columns waiting to ambush them in statue form.

Are these things golems? I think the answer will make a big difference between whether they successfully ambush the characters or not and I'm a little confused by the wording in the description of caryatid columns.

"Caryatid columns are the lesser cousins of true golems, constructs created by spellcasters to guard objects or areas."

Does that mean they're not golems and the scarab wouldn't work?

As a secondary question: I see that they have the feat Spring Attack and a Special Attack called Rapid Attacks. Both of these let them dart around and attack, can they be used together?

Thank you so much!
