SFS Standard Shimmerstone Sentinel Creature 12

Powerful guardian constructs capable of manipulating and absorbing emotions, shimmerstone sentinels can turn an enemy's feelings against them. Shimmerstone sentinels are created from shimmerstone, an empathic mineral mined on the planet Vesk-8 that has a calming effect on those around it. Shimmerstone sentinels can absorb powerful emotions, which they infuse into their own bodies to empower their attacks.

Calming Presence (aura, emotion, mental) 20 feet. Shimmerstone sentinels exude an aura of calm. Each time a creature in the area attempts an offensive action, such as an attack or casting a spell, that creature must attempt a DC 29 Will save; on a failure, the action is disrupted. A creature that succeeds becomes temporarily immune to the shimmerstone sentinel's calming presence for 1 day.
Absorb Aggression [reaction] Trigger The shimmerstone sentinel is damaged by a creature that isn't immune to emotion effects and is within 60 feet; Effect The shimmerstone sentinel absorbs the negative emotions of its attacker, causing its shimmerstone to darken to cloudy red, and becomes emotionally charged.
Speed 20 feet
Melee [one-action] fist +27 (magicalreach 10 feet), Damage 3d10+11 bludgeoning
Ranged [one-action] shimmer beam +19 (firelightrange increment 60 feet), Damage 3d8+7 fire
Emotionally Charged A shimmerstone sentinel that's emotionally charged deals an additional 1d8 mental damage with its Strikes. In addition, a creature damaged by an emotionally charged shimmerstone sentinel's fist or shimmer beam Strike is bombarded by emotion and must attempt a DC 32 Will save. On a critical failure, the creature becomes confused for 1 round.
Inexorable March [one-action] The shimmerstone sentinel Strides up to its Speed, pushing back each creature whose space it moves into and damaging them if they try to stop its movement. A creature can bar the way by succeeding at a DC 32 Fortitude save. On a critical success, the resisting creature takes no damage; otherwise, it's damaged as if hit by the shimmerstone sentinel's fist.
Unleash Emotion [two-actions] (emotionmentaloccult) Requirements The shimmerstone sentinel is emotionally charged; Effect The shimmerstone sentinel releases the negative emotions it absorbed in a 30-foot emanation that affects the minds of nearby creatures. Creatures in the area take 7d6 mental damage (DC 32 basic Will save). On a failure, a creature becomes confused for 1 round, or for 1d4 rounds on a critical failure. The shimmerstone sentinel is no longer emotionally charged.

Shimmerstone Shards

Shimmerstone is a valuable material that absorbs emotions. Scientists bankrolled on and off the books by the Veskarium experiment with shimmerstone in order to harness the material for military applications. Shimmerstone sentinels and rage-inducing shimmersheen serums are a few of these recent breakthroughs.
