Creatures with 8 HD or fewer within 20 feet of a prismatic golem are blinded for 2d4 rounds by the flashing colors (no save). A prismatic golem can be seen from miles away, and provides illumination as a daylight spell at all times. This considered a 6th-level spell for purposes of resolving light and darkness effects. ### Prismatic Touch (Su) A prismatic golem attacks with luminous tendrils that extend from its body. A tendril's color is determined randomly, since the golem lacks the intelligence to choose colors on its own. The effect of the touch attack is based on the tendril's color, as shown on the following table. The save DCs are Charisma-based. | d8 | Color | Effect | | --- | ------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | | 1 | Red | 5d6 points of fire damage | | 2 | Orange | 5d6 points of acid damage | | 3 | Yellow | 5d6 points of electricity damage | | 4 | Green | 10d6 points of damage (as _disintegrate_ spell; Fort DC 20 half) | | 5 | Blue | 5d6 points of cold damage | | 6 | Indigo | _Insanity_ (as spell; Will DC 20 negates) | | 7 | Violet | 5d6 points of sonic damage | | 8 | White | 5d6 points of force damage | ### Immunity to Magic (Ex) A prismatic golem is immune to any spell or spell-like ability that allows spell resistance. In addition, certain spells and effects function differently against a prismatic golem, as noted below. * A _prismatic spray_ heals the golem of as if by a _cure serious wounds_ spell. * Contact with a _prismatic wall_ or _prismatic sphere_ heals heals the golem of as if by a _cure serious wounds_ spell and ends the spell's effect. ### Moral Code (Ex) Though unintelligent, a prismatic golem is imprinted with the moral code of its creator. It will cease to function on its controller's behalf if given any instructions that conflict with that moral code, regardless of whether the creator's ethics change. #### tactics When commanded, a prismatic golem moves up to a foe and strikes him with its tendrils. The golem is disarmingly fast and elusive, so it never hesitates to distance itself from those who can hurt it. #### ecology **Terrain** Any (Elysium) **Organization** Solitary **Treasure** None **Advancement** 21–30 HD (Large); 31–40 HD (Huge) A prismatic golem is a construct of pure light gathered from the luminescence of the plane of Elysium. Celestial spellcasters, always endeavoring to achieve the art of perfection, find that light compacted to its essence makes for a radiant servant. A prismatic golem has no weight and cannot speak, although it nods to acknowledge a valid command. ### Construction Crafted from gems exposed to the glorious light of Elysium, a prismatic golem’s body costs 50,000 gp to construct. Assembling the body requires both a DC 22 Craft (sculpting) check and a DC 22 Knowledge (planes) check. CL 17th; [[Craft Construct]], _greater planar binding_, _polymorph any object_, _prismatic sphere_, _wish_, caster must be good and at least 17th level; Price 250,000 gp; Cost 150,000 gp
