SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Name LipsSound Golem.

Using particularly obscure and tricky magic, the crafter has to collect and contain noises and sounds for the construction of this golem, then bind them together magically into a single being. Having no physical form, a sound golem can transmit itself through any substance capable of conducting sound waves.

A Sound Golem constantly emits a barrage of noises - those sounds from which it was crafted, though normally it keeps these down to a respectable volume.

It attacks by occupying the same space as the creature it is attacking. It can deal lethal or nonlethal sonic damage in such a fashion - when dealing lethal damage its volume is much louder, rising to a deafening cacaphony. Typically it wanders around dealing nonlethal damage so as not to destroy the walls and objects it is passing through. Switching from nonlethal to lethal damage or back again is a full round action.

If a Sound Golem attempts to move through a physical barrior while in "loud, lethal damage-dealing" mode, it is limited to moving 5' per round through the substance, dealing its full damage to the substance per round.

Though it has no form, a Sound Golem still takes up a physical space, roughly equivelent to a four foot wide sphere. It possesses DR 10/magic, in addition to the regular protections of an incorporeal creature.
What would a silence spell do to it?
I am becoming more and more hollow, and am not sure how much of the man I was remains.

Slow it just the same way some spells slow the other golems.  Either that or act as a shield against it.

How is this of the "living construct" subtype, rather than the construct subtype?

It's been bound with the soul of an air elemental whose own personality has been wiped away?

Hey, if someone wants to stat this bad boy, make it about CR 9-11, I'll playtest it this weekend.
