[Radiance] Monster - Glowforged Guardian
🕑 Added 2024-05-30 14:01:01 +0000 UTCThis is the individual page for the Glowforged Guardian, the mysterious huge constructs that were left behind by Ellumara's founder. Don't mess with them because they will cleave you in half. They are perhaps clues to the founder's disappearance...

DESIGN COMMENTARY
These constructs are CR 19 - deliberately dangerous so that no one should want to mess with them. They're as standard as constructs come; they've got all the features they need, which is a lot, so to avoid excess, the only notable feature they have is Divine Interfusion, which grants them additional protection against evils, which in-universe makes sense (they're meant to be used as soldiers against the shadow aberrations).
Their melee attacks with their light swords have a built-in blind mechanic. What's fun about this is that they can make their melee attacks have a reach of 30 feet for a round, which makes kiting them tricky. This distant light-beam-slash deals less damage but still has the same blinding potential. Very deadly.
