Critical Success The champion fings its victim. The grapple ends. The grabbed creature is thrown into a space within 10 feet, takes 8d6 bludgeoning damage, and falls Prone. All creatures adjacent to the champion take the same amount of bludgeoning damage (DC 29 reflex save).

GrabRequirements The monster's last action was a successful Strike that lists Grab in its damage entry, or the monster has a creature Grabbed or Restrained
Effect If used after a Strike, the monster attempts to [/act grapple] the creature using the body part it attacked with. This attempt neither applies nor counts toward the creature's multiple attack penalty.
The monster can instead use Grab and choose one creature it's grabbing or restraining with an appendage that has Grab to automatically extend that condition to the end of the monster's next turn.
The artifcers of Jistka crafted warrior automatons to fght on the front lines of their armies, and in this goal they succeeded admirably. Brutal, effective combatants, champion automatons contain the souls of the best of the Imperium's armies, its most dedicated soldiers and respected offcers, all rendered deadlier than ever before in their bodies of metal and magic.

ConstructA construct is an artificial creature empowered by a force other than vitality or void. Constructs are often mindless; they are immune to bleed, death effects, disease, healing, nonlethal attacks, poison, spirit, vitality, void, and the doomed, drained, fatigued, paralyzed, sickened, and unconscious conditions; and they may have Hardness based on the materials used to construct their bodies. Constructs are not living creatures, nor are they undead. When reduced to 0 Hit Points, a construct creature is destroyed.
