Unlike mundane armor, inertial armor carries no armor check penalty, speed reduction, or arcane spell failure chance. Because it is composed of force, incorporeal creatures can't bypass it the way they do normal armor. ### Immunity To Magic (Ex) A brain golem is immune to spells or spell-like abilities that allow spell resistance. ### Mind Blast (Su) This attack is a 60-foot cone. Anyone caught in this area must succeed on a DC 15 Will save or be stunned for 3d4 rounds. A brain golem can use this ability once per minute. #### ecology **Terrain** Any **Organization** Solitary **Treasure** None **Advancement** 13–18 HD (Large); 19–36 HD (Huge) A creation of the mind flayers, a brain golem exists purely to fulfill their desires. A brain golem appears as a burly humanoid, about 8 feet tall and 5 feet wide, with an oversized brain serving as its entire head. In fact, the whole body is made up of brain tissue that is covered with a thin film of slimy skin. Brain golems do not speak or understand any language, despite their intelligence, but they respond to telepathic commands from any mind flayer. ### Construction A brain golem’s body is formed from the brains of intelligent creatures and topped off with a bud from a mind flayer community’s elder brain to form the creature’s “head.” Its skin is a membrane secreted by the elder brain bud. The golem costs 55,000 gp to create, which includes 1,000 gp for the construction of the body. Assembling the body requires a DC 15 Heal check. The creator must be 16th level and able to cast arcane spells. Completing the ritual requires _bull’s strength_, _feeblemind_, _geas/quest_, _limited wish_, and _mage armor_.
