Guardian Summoning (Feat)

Your silvery spirit guides your intellect across the cosmos to summon creatures as steeped in purity and goodness as you are.

Prerequisites: Level 6, non-Evil alignment

Benefit: Whenever you summon a creature or creatures with a summon monster or gate spell you cast yourself (which may include the use of a magic item), the summoned creature(s) may gain the following benefits:

• Blindsense 30 ft.
• Stealth skill, with a bonus equal to the creature's "All other skills" bonus + 5.
• Stony Form (Su): As a standard action, this creature may transform itself into a stone statue. Its appearance changes to become that of a statue, which may or may not match its normal appearance. In areas where there is other statuary, as is frequently the case in temples, public squares, and the like, this creature may, if unobserved, roll a Stealth check and take 20 on the die, in order to conceal itself. While in Stoney Form, the creature gains DR 20/- , ER 20/- and fast healing 1. It loses use of all senses except Blindsense and may not take any action other than dropping Stoney Form, which is a swift action. Creatures with this ability often serve as guardians for places of religious significance, and as such, they are effective ambushers, seeming to appear out of sculpture gardens, formal halls, even bas reliefs, to defend against defilers.

Generally, there is no limitation on how many Summons-based feats can be applied simultaneously to a summoned creature (or creatures) that you cast yourself, other than the number of Summons-based feats you actually possess. The caster can choose to apply (or not apply) each feat (or all such feats) at the time the summon monster spell is cast. However, some feats specifically list other Summons-based feats that they are incompatible with. In such cases, only one of the conflicting patterns can be applied.
