[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5873346, member: 57383"] Something like this? [B]Mimic Horde (Ex):[/B] An aurotyugh can assume the form of a horde of gold that fills roughly 175 cubic feet (15 feet diameter by 1 foot tall). This gold form can be of almost any appearance (a statue, mound of coins, pile of raw nuggets, stack of ingots, et cetera), including combinations like several small gold statues mixed in a pile of coins. The creature cannot substantially alter its size, though. An aurotyugh's body is hard and has a rough texture, no matter what appearance it might present. Anyone who examines the aurotyugh can detect the ruse with a successful Spot check opposed by the aurotyugh's Disguise check. Of course, by this time it is generally far too late. Hmm, according to my calculations 175 cubic feet of gold would weigh 211,000 pounds, or 105.5 tons. That's 21.1 [I][B]million[/B][/I] gold pieces worth. We should either hope the greedy adventurers don't stop to question why such a fabulous treasure is lying about, or let the Aurotyugh mimic other valuable metals (e.g. copper, silver) as well. I'm leaning towards the first "mostly works on the stupidly greedy" solution. [/QUOTE]
