Gargoyle Statue

A Gargoyle Statue is a type of Trap placed in various locations throughout all three Acts of the game.

Involvement

Gargoyle Statues are an interior feature, depicting a winged creature chiselled of stone. They are commonly placed in dungeons, crypts and well-equipped vaults, serving as adornment and a means of defence for these places (or parts of them) from trespassers.

As traps, Gargoyle Statues are usually triggered through a marble plate (or any other similar means) planted nearby.

Upon triggering, Gargoyle Statues project a jet of flame that protrudes forward for a decent distance once per turn (e.g., statues in Grymforge eject flame for 15 meters), dealing 3d4⁠⁠Fire damage to any targets in their way, possibly make them fall  Prone.

A Gargoyle Statue can be disarmed with the help of  Sleight of Hand skill, provided the character has a  Trap Disarm Toolkit in their inventory. Though the Difficulty Class can vary, the minimum requirement is a  DC 10 Sleight of Hand Check.

Once successfully disarmed, Gargoyle Statues crumble into a heap of rubble.
