Gorumite Veteran
Level 12Attacks
Abilities
Trigger A creature within the monster's reach uses a manipulate action or a move action, makes a ranged attack, or leaves a square during a move action it's using. Effect The monster attempts a melee Strike against the triggering creature. If the attack is a critical hit and the trigger was a manipulate action, the monster disrupts that action. This Strike doesn't count toward the monster's multiple attack penalty, and its multiple attack penalty doesn't apply to this Strike.
As long as the Consecrate ritual effects persist in Crownhold, a Gorumite veteran gains a +1 status bonus to attack rolls, skill checks, saving throws, and Perception checks; these bonuses are not calculated into the stat block.
On a critical hit with a greatsword, the target of the critical hit is knocked off-balance and becomes Off-Guard until the start of the Gorumite veteran's next turn.
The Gorumite veteran Strikes with their greatsword, dealing 4d12+22 slashing damage plus 1d6 persistent bleed. This counts as two attacks when calculating their multiple attack penalty.
The Gorumite veteran attempts a ranged Strike with their javelin, dealing (3d6+22) piercing damage. If the target is adjacent to a solid surface, they become stuck to that surface by the javelin. The target is Immobilized until they Escape. The creature doesn't become stuck if it is incorporeal, is liquid (like a water elemental or some oozes), or could otherwise escape without effort.
