Combat
Birthday Wish (Sp): Anybody that successfully blows out all of a birthday golem’s candles in one attempt (see Candles, below) receives the effect of a wish spell for the next phrase they say. The birthday golem must have all of its candles lit prior to the attempt to grant this wish. A birthday golem can only grant one wish per year.
Candles (Ex): The distinguishing feature of a birthday golem is the 19 lit candles that adorn it. On a successful slam attack, the golem deals additional fire damage equal to the number of currently lit candles. As a swift action, a birthday golem can relight 1d6 candles.
As a standard action that provokes attacks of opportunity, a birthday golem can fan the flames of its candles into a cone. This cone has a range equal to 5ft. x the number of lit candles, and deals 1d4 fire damage per lit candle. Anybody in the cone can make a Reflex saving throw (DC 27) for half damage. The save DC is Strength-based.
A character can blow out a birthday golem’s candles as a standard action that provokes attacks of opportunity. Upon a successful melee touch attack, the character can blow out a number of candles equal to 1d20 + his Constitution modifier.
Fast Healing (Ex): A birthday golem regains hp at the beginning of its turn each round equal to the number of candles currently lit.
Immunity to Magic (Ex): A birthday golem is immune to any spell or spell-like ability that allows spell resistance. In addition, certain spells and effects function differently against it, as described below.
A gust of wind works like a ranged attempt to blow out a birthday golem’s candles, and thus requires a ranged touch attack. A gust of wind blows out 1d20 candles (the caster does not add their Constitution modifier to the magical wind). A caster cannot receive a birthday wish from blowing out candles with a gust of wind.
Any spell with the [Fire] descriptor relights all of a Birthday Golem's candles, and improves its natural armour bonus by the spell level of the effect for 10 minutes. If it is targetted by another fire effect in this time, the effects do not stack; only the highest natural armour bonus applies.
[hr]
Advancement: A birthday golem can have any number of Hit Dice, but is always Medium size. It always has one candle per Hit Die.
Construction: A birthday golem is sculpted from 2 tons of chocolate, flour, milk, eggs, sugar, and sprinkles. In addition, the caster must provide the candles, which must be anointed and prepared with expensive tinctures and admixtures costing at least 8,000 gp per candle. Assembling the body requires a DC 20 Profession (chef) check.
CL 18th; Craft Construct, continual flame, create food and drink, geas/quest, limited wish, wish, caster must be at least 18th level; Price 10,000 gp/candle; Cost 8,000 gp/candle + 5300 XP + 320 XP/candle.

So, uh, yeah. It’s my birthday! I’m being sneaky and posting it in here instead of Friendly Banter, since this is... the only place I post.
