Kyojingerbread Man

These gigantic constructs, animated by the spirits of long-dead martial arts masters, are fearsome foes most often found as guardians of the sorts of temples that might have giant cookies with kung fu skills guarding them. Fortunately, the sort of temple that might employ a 15' golem made out of flour, sugar, molasses, and spices is fairly rare.

ST 25; DX 12; IQ 10; HT 13
HP 25; Will 12; Per 12; FP 13
Speed 6.25; Move 8/16; SM +2
Dodge 10; Parry 12 (Karate or Judo); DR 2

Punch-16: 2d+8 crushing. Reach C, 1.

Kick-16: 2d+10 crushing. Reach C-2.

Gumdrop Shuriken-16: 2d+5 crushing. Range 12/25.

Thrown Object-16: 2d+5 or 5d+7 of appropriate damage type.

Kiai-16: As the Chi Skill on p.32 of Adventurers.

Traits: Chi Talent 2; Fearlessness 2; Fragile (Brittle); Ham-Fisted 2; High Pain Threshold; Homogenous; Immune to Disease; Immune to Poison; Penetrating Voice; Seven Secret Kicks; Temperature Tolerance 2 (Cold); Tiger Sprint; Trained by a Master; Unarmed Master; Uninterrupted Flurry.

Skills: Immovable Stance-14; Judo-16; Karate-16; Kiai-16; Light Walk-14; Throwing Art-16.

Class: Construct - but because the animating spirit is undead, that applies as well! They can be turned, and the appropriate Higher Purpose gives a bonus against them.

Notes: Trained By a Master means the Kyojingerbread Man takes half the normal penalty for multiple parries and rapid strikes; Uninterrupted Flurry means they're free to combine All-Out Attack and All-Out Defense in the same turn! Throwing Art allows them to throw anything they can pick up (including adventurers); the GM should use their own judgment to determine whether an object uses thr or sw damage, and what the damage type will be.

Treasure: If slain, the Kyojingerbread Man crumbles into a pile of crunchy gingerbread chunks (weighing roughly 1000 lbs in total). These can be used as rations, and do qualify as the special rations needed to maintain Chi abilities (Adventurers, p.30).
