Monster Monday - Hoard Golem

Getting back to my roots with some original monsters, steal a look at the hoard golem!

This was, hands-down, one of my favorite monsters I've designed in a while. I might have ended up going a little wild with it, so lemme know what you think!

That's a very cool monster and the adventure hooks are also good. I like them very much. Some ability name puns give 1d8 mental damage... which is to say they are good. :)

Discorporate is nice although I don't know in which form the golem is scarier. But I think not having to deal with Gilding is good.

Two things I noticed:
- It would either be Stunned 3 or Stunned for 1 round... not both
- PF2 doesn't do mixed damage types (bludgeoning, slashing and piercing). Or is that 4d12 damage each (so 12d12 per Gold Rush)? Probably not. I'd go with only bludgeoning only or specify that it's 1/3rd damage for each type.

I'm glad you like it! It was a blast to make and I have to apologize for that. I really enjoy puns and alliteration.

Good catch on both of those! I appreciate any criticism I can get on my monsters because there's always stuff I end up missing no matter how many times I read over it. Thanks!
