Description
Graven Wings (Ex, Sp) A gate archon can inscribe a glyph of warding onto its wings; this glyph can be triggered only when the archon is using its statue form.
Stoneblade (Ex, Su) A gate archon can create a +3 conductive greatsword as a full-round action. A stoneblade crumbles to dust if the archon dies or crafts a new sword.
Gate archons stand in silent vigils over interplanar portals.
Archon, Exscinder–Archon, Gate Assassin Bug, Giant This goat-sized insect stands on long, spindly legs. Its mouthparts glisten with a curious fluid.
