Shatter and crystalline creatures


Rules Questions


The Shatter spell says it damages crystalline creatures. Which creatures are considered crystalline?


Ice golem?


an animated object maybe


Immunity to Magic (Ex) An ice golem is immune to any spell
or spell-like ability that allows spell resistance, with the
exception of spells and spell-like abilities that have the Fire
descriptor, which affect it normally.

Scarab Sages

Creatures with the crystalline subtype. Not that the bestiary has any yet. Either it slipped in with the old 3.5 stuff, or they intend on adding crystalline creatures at a later date.


crystaline never was a subtype, it rather seems a creature with a crystaline body composition.


There are crystalline creatures in XPH, if that helps.

And for that matter, which creatures are made of flesh for the purposes of a flesh to stone spell? With some creature's it's pretty easy to determine (humans, dwarves, elves, etc. VS golems, elementals, skeletons), but with others, not so much (plant creatures, gargoyles, phoenixes, homonculi, etc.).

Take the phoenix for example: Is a phoenix all fire? Or flesh wrapped in fire? If it was all fire like an elemental, it wouldn't leave ash behind, right?
