The sentinel can attack with the base attack bonus of the drughu, and gains the touch AC of the drughu for defense. If the sentinel is damaged while animated this way, the drughu takes sympathetic damage the same as the sentinel. If the sentinel is destroyed while animated this way, the drughu must make a will save DC 15 or die. If the drughu is attacked during their motionless contemplation, the link is broken immediately. The drughu can choose to break the link at any time as a swift action. Once the link is broken, the sentinel returns to being inanimate in whatever position or pose it is in at the time.

A wooden sentinel has a hardness of 5 and 60 hit points; a stone sentinel has a hardness of 8 and 90 hit points. The sentinel is an exact replica of the drughu’s self, and is painted and decorated to be entirely lifelike. An observer must pass a perception check DC equal to 10 + the drughu’s craft skill modifier at the time of creating the sentinel to be able to distinguish by observation alone the sentinel from the drughu who created it. The drughu has an empathic link to the immediate area around the statue, within a 60-foot area, and if an enemy enters the area, or a friend is injured within the area, the drughu can sense it.
