These spiritbound aluums are rarely used as peacekeepers, instead serving as assassins, elite bodyguards, or riot control during times of martial law.\n\n A spiritbound aluum has a dull blue crystalline focus that stores constituent souls, surrounded by a host of smaller gems used for trapping souls the Pactmasters wish to deny from entering the Great Beyond. Spiritbound aluums rarely use this soul-binding ability except when instructed by their masters. However, the murderous or embittered souls within the aluum sometimes exert control and willfully consume a departing soul either out of malice or to incorporate it into the construct’s core. If not relieved of its trapped souls in a timely manner, a spiritbound aluum can develop enough will to overcome its masters’ orders and even awaken to full sentience. These rogue aluums typically lose the [mindless](/Traits.aspx?ID=108) trait, are evil, have an Intelligence modifier of –2 or higher, and gain several skills with bonuses ranging from +25 to +32.\r\n\r\n<column gap=\"tiny\">\r\n**[Recall Knowledge - Construct](/Rules.aspx?ID=563)**\r\n([Arcana](/Skills.aspx?ID=2), [Crafting](/Skills.aspx?ID=4)): DC 40\r\n\r\n**[Unspecific Lore](/Rules.aspx?ID=563)**: DC 38\r\n\r\n**[Specific Lore](/Rules.aspx?ID=563)**: DC 35\r\n</column>\r\n\r\n</column>\r\n\r\n<column gap=\"medium\">\r\n\r\n</column>\r\n\r\n</row>\r\n\r\n<title level=\"2\" right=\"Creature 16\">[Spiritbound Aluum](/Monsters.aspx?ID=477)</title>\r\n\r\n<traits>\r\n<trait label=\"Rare\" url=\"/Traits.aspx?ID=137\" />\r\n<trait label=\"N\" url=\"/Rules.aspx?ID=95\" />\r\n<trait label=\"Large\" />\r\n<trait label=\"Construct\" url=\"/Traits.aspx?ID=35\" />\r\n<trait label=\"Mindless\" url=\"/Traits.aspx?ID=108\" />\r\n<trait label=\"Soulbound\" url=\"/Traits.aspx?ID=237\" />\r\n</traits>\r\n\r\n<column gap=\"tiny\">\r\n\r\n<row gap=\"tiny\">**Source** [Pathfinder #149: Against the Scarlet Triad](/Sources.aspx?ID=14) pg. 83</row>\n\n**Perception** +28; darkvision\r\n\r\n**Languages**\n\n**Skills**\r\n[Athletics](/Skills.aspx?ID=3) +33\r\n\r\n<row gap=\"medium\">\r\n**Str** +9\r\n\r\n**Dex** +3\r\n\r\n**Con** +6\r\n\r\n**Int** -5\r\n\r\n**Wis** +4\r\n\r\n**Cha** -2\r\n</row>\n\n</column>\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n<column gap=\"tiny\">\r\n\r\n<row gap=\"medium\">\r\n**AC** 39 \r\n\r\n**Fort** +30 \r\n\r\n**Ref** +25 \r\n\r\n**Will** +28 \n\n</row>\r\n\r\n**HP** 255\n\n**Immunities**\r\nbleed, disease, death effects, doomed, drained, fatigued, magic (see below), mental, nonlethal attacks, paralyzed, poison, sickened, unconscious\r\n\r\n**Resistances**\r\n15 physical (except adamantine)\n\n**Attack of Opportunity**<actions string=\"Reaction\" />\r\n\r\n</column>\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n<column gap=\"tiny\">\r\n\r\n**Speed** 25 feet, fly 25 feet\r\n\r\n**Melee**\r\n<actions string=\"Single Action\" />\r\nfist +33 ([Magical](/Traits.aspx?ID=103)),\r\n**Damage** 3d10+17 bludgeoning plus paralyzing force\r\n\r\n**Arcane Innate Spells** DC 38\r\n- **5th**\r\n[Locate](/Spells.aspx?ID=173)\r\n- **9th**\r\n[Bind Soul](/Spells.aspx?ID=21) (x3)\r\n\r\n**Aluum Antimagic**   Spiritbound aluum are immune to spells and magical abilities, with two exceptions.

The remaining fragments of the captured soul are released to the Great Beyond. The spiritbound aluum can’t use Obliteration Beam again for 1d4 rounds.\r\n\r\n**Paralyzing Force**  ([Arcane](/Traits.aspx?ID=11), [Incapacitation](/Traits.aspx?ID=93), [Necromancy](/Traits.aspx?ID=117)) A creature damaged by the spiritbound aluum's fist Strike must succeed at a DC 35 Fortitude save or become [paralyzed](/Conditions.aspx?ID=28) for 1 round. On a critical failure, the creature is paralyzed for 1d4 minutes and falls [prone](/Conditions.aspx?ID=31).\r\n\r\n**Soul Binder**   When a spiritbound aluum uses its [_bind soul_](/Spells.aspx?ID=21) innate spell, it binds the soul into its central crystal instead of the normal material component.

A creature that fails its save is [stunned 1](/Conditions.aspx?ID=36), or stunned 3 on a critical failure.
