Juggernauts protect locations dedicated to a particular faith, their massive forms infused with divine energy that animates them and infuses them with their deity’s power. Some faiths use a juggernaut as a mobile shrine, anointing it with sacred materials and offering prayers to the divine.

Keyed Domains

A juggernaut gain special abilities from two domains granted by the deity to which the juggernaut is dedicated. If an ability requires a saving throw, the save DC is Wisdom-based (DC 19 for most juggernauts). The caster level is equal to the juggernaut’s Hit Dice (CL 15th for most juggernauts).
