Breath Weapon (Su) As a standard action, a Living Forge can breathe forth a 300 foot cone of fire. The fire deals 35d8 damage and gives a reflex save (DC 47) for half damage. After using its breath weapon, a Living Forge must wait 1d4 round before using it again.
Improved Grab (Ex) When a Living Forge hits with a successful bite attack, it can then start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold.
Summon Iron Colossus (Sp) Once a day a Living Forge can summon an Iron Colossus.
Swallow Whole (Ex) A Living Forge can try to swallow a grabbed opponent of Gargantuan or smaller size by making a successful grapple check. The opponent takes 4d6 +17 points of bludgeoning damage and 8d6 points of fire damage per round. It takes two successful grapple checks to escape from a Living Forge's gizzard. Alternatively, a swallowed creature can try to cut its way out with either claws or a light piercing or slashing weapon. A swallowed creature must deal 50 damage to the gizzard (AC 45, DR 50/epic and adamantine), and each creature must cut its own way out. A Living Forge can hold 2 Gargantuan, 8 Huge, 32 Large or 128 Medium or smaller creatures. Constructs that are being forged as treated as swallowed until they are finished, though they do not take damage.
Triple Damage Against Objects (Ex) A Living Forge that makes a full attack against an object or structure deal triple damage.
Forge Constructs (Su) A Living Forge can melt down metal and form it into constructs. A Living Forge only has to supply material (by eating it) and automatically succeeds craft checks to make constructs, but the construct still takes the normal amount of time to create though a Living Forge can act normally while a construct is being forged and forge multiple constructs (see swallow whole). For example, if a Living Forge eats 45,000 pounds of adamantine, it can form an adamantine golem. Since it can only melt down metal, a Living Forge can only create metal constructs (Iron Golem, Mithral Golem, Adamantine Golem, Ironwyrm Golem, Dread Guard, etc.).
Self-Improvement (Su) A Living forge can use 5,000 pounds of metal to give itself 1 extra HD. Once a Living Forge reaches 150 HD, its gizzard can hold 1 Colossal creature.
Rebuke/Command Constructs (Su) A Living Forge can rebuke and command constructs as a 75th level cleric rebukes undead. A Living Forge can control an unlimited number of constructs in this manner.
A Living Forge is made of adamantine, and glows with heat. It has a scorpion-like head and instead of legs, it has a serpentine tail. It has razor-sharp claws and blades jutting out of its elbows and back.
The furnace of a god of the forge given life, Living Forges seek to build construct armies to ravage the material world. They seek to someday destroy their creators and melt down the material plane into an army of constructs.
