Half-Golem

Spoiler

Show

Prerequisites:
Ability: Constitution 10+
Special: Must lack a body part to be replaced (Those who wish to remove the limb surgically must have another perform a DC 20 Heal check on them. One may attempt this heal check on their own, but the DC is increased by 10. Failure of this Heal check by 5 or more results in 1d6 points of constitution damage to the subject, and the limb being removed. Failure of this heal check by up to 4 or less does no damage, and does not remove the limb.)
Special:Must Spend 100 GP for the raw materials used in construction of this limb at first level of this class, and then must respectively pay 200 GP and 300 GP to for taking the other two levels, in order to pay for the improvements. Alternatively should a player destroy a Golem of the appropriate type, and leave enough of its body in tact (DM’s Discretion), it may forgo these prices.

Skills: The Successful Half-Golem Gains (4+Intelligence Modifier) skills per level. The Successful Half-golem class skills (and key ability for each skill) are Bluff (Cha), Climb (Str), Craft(any) (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Handle animal (Wis), Hide (Dex), Jump (Str), Knowledge (any) (Int), Listen (Wis), Move silently (Dex), Profession (any), Spot (Wis), Survival (Wis), Swim (Str), Use Magic Device (Cha).
Skills: The Failed Half-Golem Gains (2+Intelligence Modifier) skills per level. The Failed Half-golem has no in class skills.
See The Danger

Proficiencies: The Half-Golem is proficient with any natural weapons it may gain from this class, however it does not gain any new armor proficiencies.

Class Features: The following are the Class Features of the Half-Golem

The Danger: Creating a Half-Golem still isn't an exact science, if magic ever was, and carries a large risk as that the shock resulting from the connection between the Character’s inner essence and the Elemental Spirit animating the Golem’s limb. Sometimes this clash of energies can end in disaster. Upon taking the 1st level of this class the character must make a Will save (DC 15) after the 24 hour ritual required to implant the Golem’s limb. Other people can help the operation process by attempting a DC 15 Heal check, (This assistance is non-stressful and fairly simple, and these assistants may take 10). Each successful Heal check grants the Character a +2 bonus to its Will save at the end of the Ritual. These assistants must partake in the 24 hour ritual. People wanting to play safe will hire several experts to assist the ritual.

Succeeding on this save means the implantation went as smoothly as it could and the Character gains an extra +1 Constitution for each level of Half-Golem, The character also gains Light Fortification, offering it a 25% resistance to Critical Attacks and Precision Based Damage, such as Sneak attack. The character also can choose one of the save progressions of the Half-Golem class to become a ‘Good Save Progression’ (+2, +3, +3) and further gains (4+ Intelligence Modifier) skills per level.

Failing this save, Or not having 10 constitution* and attempting this ritual anyhow, means the Elemental Spirit animating the Golem limb tries to take over the Character's body. The character's type changes to Construct, Gaining all of the following Construct Traits. The Golem’s limb expands inside the Character’s body producing a horrible internal amalgam of minerals and flesh. The Failed Half-Golem class only gains (2+Intelligence Modifier) skill points per level and has no class skills. It also permanently loses 6 Charisma as that it partially loses its own identity. If this would reduce the Failed Half-golem to 0 Charisma it becomes a mindless rampaging construct that attacks everything on its path until destroyed. Any abilities from the Half-Golem Class that are based on Constitution instead use Wisdom for the Failed Half Golem.

Construct Traits of the Failed Half-golem

Spoiler

Show

The Failed Half-golem has no Constitution score.
The Failed Half-golem gain Darkvision out to 60 feet.
The Failed Half-golem has immunity to all mind-affecting effects.
The Failed Half-golem has immunity to poison, sleep effects, paralysis, stunning, disease, death effects, and necromancy effects.
The Failed Half-golem is not subject to critical hits, nonlethal damage, ability drain, ability damage, fatigue or exhaustion, or energy drain.
The Failed Half-golem cannot heal damage on its own, although it can be healed.
The Failed Half-golem has immunity to any effect that requires a Fortitude save (unless the effect also works on objects or is harmless).
The Failed Half-golem is not at risk of death from massive damage, but when reduced to 0 hit points or less, it is immediately destroyed.
The Failed Half-golem, having had its body and soul befouled by that of which animated to slap-shod limb, cannot be raised or resurrected. It can only be revived by a wish, limited wish, or miracle spell or effect.
The Failed Half-golem does not breathe, eat, or sleep.

Some people actually consider the ‘Failed Half-Golem’ to be the true Success, as they believe flesh to be weak, and would rather fully embrace the artificial side of the Half-golem, so they choose to automatically fail their saves. There are dark rituals where people who believe that the Failed Half-Golem is an improvement attempt to encourage a ‘Failure’ this functions exactly as the Heal Checks to Aid the process, but instead impose a -2 penalty on the Character’s Will save at the end of the 24 Ritual.

Prototype Body(Ex): At first level the Half Golem gains a bonus to natural armor class equal to half its Constitution modifier, and a natural slam attack that deals 1d8 damage (for a medium creature). Further, certain magical elemental damage heals 1 point of health per 3 damage it would normally have done to the Half-Golem, depending on the Half-Golem’s type. The Half-Golem is otherwise immune to that specific element.

** The Half Golem must select one of the following elements at first level, this effects its Prototype Healing. (Fire, Cold, Acid, or Electricity.)

^ Haste Effects heal a Half Mithral Golem 1d8 Hp per Caster Level.

^^ Any Light Based spell that deals damage heals the Half Skywatcher Golem, any Light spell that does not deal damage heals the Half Skywatcher Golem 1d4 hit points per Spell Level.

Construction Material (Su): The Half-Golem gains different bonus at level 1 based on the material used to build its limbs. (See Below)

Ability increase: The Half Golem gains a +1 bonus to Strength at levels 1,2, and 3.

Golemaic Weapon (Su): The Half-Golem limb is improved at second level to include a powerful weapon. (See Below)

Golem plate:At second level the Half-golem gains DR/Adamantine equal to 1/2 its HD.

Magic Resistance: At third level the Successful Half-golem gains Spell Resistance equal to 10+1/2HD+Constitution modifier, the Failed Half-golem gains Spell Resistance equal to 10+1/2HD+Wisdom modifier. Spells that deal the elemental damage it has an affinity with bypass its Spell Resistance without the need to lower it.

Improvement: At third level The Half-golem’s limb can be further reinforced by spending extra resources. The Half-golem can increase any single physical ability score by an additional +1 by paying 400GP, then 500 GP for another extra +1, and so on. It takes 1 day of work for every 100 GP cost to improve the limb. The Half-golem may not gain a number of improvements beyond half its number of non Half-golem HD (rounded down).

Even more Half-golems here!

Old Comments:

The half-golem will suck some of your WBL but in return you get several powerfull bonus. All levels increase your Str and Con.

First level gets you a passive ability, second level the golem special weapon and DR, and the third level gives Magic resistance (magic immunity would be kinda too much for three levels) and the ability to keep buffing your str for a relatively cheap price.

The Half Golem can give you quick construct traits if you fail the save but then you lose Con, wich is important for several of the Half-Golem abilities. And also a penalty to charisma on top.

My Comments
Boy was that fun!
Not terribly pleased with the Half Nimblewright Golem’s Golemaic Weapon. Ideas?
Bets on I screwed something up, if you notice any mistakes, or power balance issues, please let me know!
Caution: Not all of these Half-golems are actually half golem. I’ve added in some more constructs to the mix, because why not?
You might think I’m crazy when I say that the following Golems are in the MMIII, but they are. They are suggested there, on pg.66, though no stat block is provided. [Amorphion (Limbo), Ash Golem (Gehenna), Battleglory (Ysgard), Gear Golem (Mechanus), Mindstrike Golem (Pandemonium), Perfector (Arcadia), Sentinel of Mithardir (Arborea), Shacklelock Golem (Carceri), Valorhammer (Celestia), Woodwrath Golem (Beastlands)]
Oh, I’ll take requests on more Half-golems.
This is definitely a WIP still.

Construction Material

Spoiler

Show

Adamantine- This material is incredibly indestructible, The Half Adamantine Golem’s Strength increases by an additional +2 and its natural armor increases to equal its constitution modifier. Further when a Half Adamantine Golem gains Damage Reduction at third level, it gains additional DR equal to its strength modifier. A Half Adamantine Golem is immune to spells that normally effect metals, as that their body is timeless and concepts such as Rust, and Heat Metal, do nothing to it.

Alchemical- This material is exceptionally toxic. However it seems to strengthen the Half Alchemical Golem’s Body. The Half Alchemical Golem's Strength improves by an extra +2 and its natural armor increases to equal its constitution modifier. Any creature that damages the Half Alchemical Golem with a melee attack suffers 1d4 acid damage per 4 HD, as acid violently splashes out towards them.

Amorphion Golem- This material is constantly changing, ever reshaping itself. The Half Amorphion Golem may add a +2 bonus to any one of its ability scores. It may reassign this bonus 1/day, as a standard action. Further the Half-Amorphion Golem may alter its form as per the spell Alter Self 1/day per 4 HD as a Full Round Action, caster level equal to its HD.

Artillery- This material is designed for effect combat mobility, the Half Artillery Golem may slow any fall it takes to 30 feet per round, and does not take falling damage while conscious. Upon Reaching 5 HD the Half Artillery Golem may levitate as if it had cast the spell of same name upon itself for a total number of rounds per day equal to its HD+ Charisma modifier. It does not suffer the normal attack penalties for this levitating. The Artillery Golem's levitation speed is 20 feet + 5 feet for every 2 HD it has above 5.

Ash- This material is loose and easily airborne, creating quite a few problems for anyone standing near the Half Ash Golem. Any time the Half Ash Golem is damaged, it fills all squares adjacent to it with thick clouds of airborne Blistering Ash, causing a -2 penalty to Dexterity and vision based skill checks, attacks rolls, and Reflex Saves to all creatures within a square of airborne ash. Further, if the creature that did the damaging is in an adjacent square to the Half-Ash Golem, it suffers 1d4 points of fire damage per 4 HD. The Half-Ash Golem may also leave clouds of Ash behind it as part of a move action, filling any square moved through by the Half Ash Golem with this same airborne Ash. This ash dissipates three rounds after forming, and can be dissipated fast by wind effects. Further when a Half Ash Golem gains Damage Reduction at third level, it gains DR/ Adamantine and Bludgeoning.

Assembly- This material is built of very small constructs that may be disassembled and reassembled at any time. As a move action the Half Assembly Golem may disassemble part of its Golem limb in order to produce multiple miniscule Assembly Golems that may form together to build larger creatures. This functions similarly to the Summon Monster spell of Caster Level equal to half the Half Assembly Golem’s HD, and it uses the following table. Like summon monster, a Half Assembly golem may summon 1d4-1 creatures of a lower tier than what it can currently summon, or 1d6+1 of any tier 2 or lower than it’s currently available one. A Half Assembly Golem may use this ability a number of times per day equal to its Wisdom modifier.

Battleglory- this material is built with the bones, weapons, armor, blood, and palpable stubbornness of the fallen warriors of Ysgard. The Half Battleglory Golem’s strength improves by an extra +2 and its Natural armor increases to equal its constitution modifier. Further the Half Battleglory Golem is treated as having the Die Hard feat, and its downward limit of Hp is increased by its HD. For a successful Half Battleglory golem its Death Threshold becomes -X (X=10+the Half Battleglory Golem’s HD), for a Failed Half Battleglory Golem it becomes -Y (Y=The Half Battleglory Golem’s HD)

Birthday-Cake- This material comes with alchemical candles that grow naturally from the cake-like arm, the Half Birthday-Cake Golem gains a number of candles equal to its HD. The Half Birthday-Cake Golem gains fast healing to the number of candles it has lit. These candles are particularly hard to put out. A character can blow out a Half Birthday-Cake Golem’s candles as a standard action that provokes attacks of opportunity. The character makes a touch attack, and if successful, the character can blow out a number of candles equal to 1d20 + his Constitution modifier. A gust of wind works like a ranged attempt to blow out a birthday Golem’s candles, and thus requires a ranged touch attack. A gust of wind blows out 1d20+Primary casting ability score candles. As a swift action, a Half Birthday-Cake Golem can relight 1d6 candles.
If all of the Birthday-Cake Golem’s candles are lit, it may extinguish them all as a swift action to grant a single targeted creature the benefits of Heroism caster level equal to its HD.

Blood of War- This material is very strong but demands constant upkeep or else it becomes a hindrance. The character's strength score improves by an extra +4 and its Natural armor increases to equal its constitution modifier, further, it can detect any creature within a 30 feet per HD range that has been injured or is actively bleeding, as if by the Scentspecial quality. The Half Blood of War Golem must consume an amount of blood equal to the water it requires each day, every day the Half Blood of War Golem does not consume such blood it must make a Fortitude save (DC 10+number of days since its Last Feeding) or grow weak. It loses 1 points of Strength each day it fails this save. It takes 1 minute of interrupted work with proper tools (cost 50 GP, not expended by this) and the body of a recently slain creature with blood (Which is consumed in this process, each creature offers a total amount of repairs equal to half its constitution score), and a successful heal, profession, or craft check the appropriate type with DC (18) to remove each point of this Strength penalty. A Restoration spell will automatically remove this Strength penalty and will prevent this Strength penalty for 24 hours. The subject can repair itself but it takes double time. There's no penalty for failing these repair checks.

Brain- This material resonates with psionic energy. The Half Brain Golem gains a +2 bonus to Intelligence and gains a deflection bonus to armor class equal to its Intelligence modifier, further it gains two additional power points per HD.

Brass This material greatly improves the olfactory capabilities of the Half Brass Golem. The Half Brass Golem gains the Scent ability and gains a bonus on Survival checks (Including those made in Tracking) equal to its HD, it may make survival checks in the place of intelligence checks when attempting to navigate labyrinths and mazes, including those created by the Maze spell. Further the Half Brass golem gains a +2 bonus to strength, and its bonus natural armor is increased to equal its constitution modifier.

Butterscotch-Pudding- This material is extremely sticky making the subject a great walking mess. Any weapon that deals damage to a Half Butterscotch-Pudding Golem becomes stuck to its skin, unless the wielder succeeds on a DC (10+1/2HD+Str Mod) Reflex save. The weapon may be retrieved with a successful disarm check which the Half Butterscotch-Pudding Golem receives a racial bonus to equal to half its HD. A Half Butterscotch-Pudding Golem can spend a standard action to cover over a single weapon per round and hide it within its Limb, however the Half Butterscotch-Pudding Golem may only have one item hidden within its limb at any given time. This item can only be retrieved if the Half Butterscotch-Pudding Golem is unconscious and requires a Disarm check as if the Half Butterscotch-Pudding Golem is taking 10.

Cadaver-Collector- This material is built with fierce steel and cruel spikes, the Half Cadaver-Collector Golem is treated as having armor spikes of a creature one size larger than it is for all intents and purposes.

Mindstrike- The Half Mindstike Golem gains an additional bite natural attack that deals 1d6 damage, and may be used to deliver a mind-addling venom. Any creature damaged by this bite is subjected to this poison, with a Fortitude save DC of (10+1/2 HD+Con Mod) with initial and secondary damage of 1d6 Cha damage. This damage increases by one size category every 4 HD the Half Iron Golem has. If an opponent is reduced to 0 Charisma from this venom, it grows irrevocably mad, as if by Insanity. At 5 HD it may instead deal acid damage equal to its initial damage with this venom, offering no save, and creatures immune to poison are not immune to the acid.

Mud- As a free action, 1/Minute, the Half Mud Golem can belch out a massive spray of slop. This fills a 10 foot cone in front of the Half Mud Golem, plus 5 feet for every HD. Creatures within the area are sprayed with thick sticky mud, creatures in this area must make Reflex save DC (10+1/2 HD+Con Mod) or fall prone. Further this covers all affected squares with mud, as if dropped by its Construction material.

Mithral- The Half Mithral Golem gains a second slam attack and may make a flurry attack with its slams, gaining an additional attack at full base attack bonus, however when using this flurry, all attacks made in the round suffer a -2 penalty. (The Half Mithral Golem should wind up with 3 slam attacks with a flurry).

Nimblewright- If the Half Nimblewright Golem hits an opponent with its rapier hand attack, it may attempt to trip that opponent without needing to make a touch attack, or provoking an attack of opportunity. Further, when attacking a prone creature, it deals an additional 2d8 damage with a successful attack.

Outer- The Half Outer Golem gains reach of 5 extra feet with its slam attack, as oozy green tentacles grow out of its body. It also gains Improved Grab, allowing it to initiate a grapple on a successful slam attack without having to make a touch attack or provoke an attack of opportunity. On a successful grapple check, the Half Outer Golem deals constriction damage equal to its slam damage. Further, 1/minute the Half Outer Golem may make a charge attack at 4 times its movement speed, as it charges it grows uncannily hot, and its slam attack deals an additional 1d6 fire damage at the end of this charge.

Peanut-Butter- Half Peanut-Butter Golem’s may seem smooth and fantastic, but sometimes one can find themselves in a bit of a crunch with a one that has gone nutty. If the Half Peanut-Butter Golem takes damage it must make a Will save DC (10+ the damage dealt) or go completely Nuts. Going Nuts is similar to a barbarian’s rage, except it temporarily gains a +4 bonus to Strength and the Half Peanut-Butter Golem’s natural armor increases to equal its Constitution modifier (1.5 its constitution modifier if it is a Half Adam’s Peanut-Butter Golem). Going Nuts is otherwise identical to the standard Barbarian’s rage in all other ways. It can choose to fail this save. It can go Nuts 1/day plus an additional time for every 4 HD it has. Half Peanut-Butter Golem levels stack with barbarian levels for determining Rage bonus. At effective Barbarian level 11 (when a standard barbarian gains greater rage), the Strength bonus increases to +6, and the bonus to natural armor class increases by an additional +2 points. At Barbarian level 20 (when a standard barbarian gains mighty rage), the Strength bonus increases to +8, and the bonus to natural armor class increases by an additional +2 points (which stack with the two points gained at effective Barbarian level 11.)

Perfector- The Half Perfector Golem gains a terrifying Gaze attack, any creature within a 5 feet per HD radius of the Half Perfector Golem are subjected to this Gaze attack, and must succeed on a DC (10+1/2 HD+Con Mod) or become shaken for 1d4 rounds per 2 HD. A successful save leaves that opponent immune to this fear effect for 24 hours. Further the Half Perfector Golem may use Banishment as a spell like ability 1/day per 5 HD the Half Perfector Golem has. Caster level equal to its HD.

Piñata- As part of an attack action, 1/minute, the Half Piñata Golem may make a blinding attack with its slam. Any creature struck this slam must succeed on a DC (10+1/2HD+Dex Mod) Reflex save, or be blinded. Any such struck creature must make a DC (10+1/2HD+Cha Mod) Will save or be compelled to attack the Half Piñata Golem for a number of rounds equal to its HD. This secondary compulsion is a Mind-effecting affect, and happens regardless of the target being blinded or not.

Plague- As free action, 1/minute, the Half Plague Golem may attempt to spread any one disease it is carrying (see Construction Material), it may choose one of the following means of spreading it in each instance it uses this ability. The Fortitude save for any given disease spread in this manner is DC (10+1/2HD+Con Mod), and has an incubation time of 1d4+1 rounds. The Half Plague Golem may have a number of diseases actively ready to infect equal to its Con Mod. (Or in other words the Half Plague Golem may not have more objects smeared with disease substance than its Con Mod.)

Spoiler

Show

Contact The Half Plague Golem may touch the surface of any single object placing a contact disease over 1 square foot of its surface area per HD. Any creature touching this area within 10 minutes per HD must make a Fortitude save or suffer the ill effects of the disease.

Ingested: The Half Plague Golem may touch any one food or liquid substance up to 2 pounds per HD spreading its disease in it. Any creature consuming this substance within 1 hour per HD must make a Fortitude save or suffer the ill effects of the disease. (1 gallon is roughly 8 pounds.)

Inhaled: The Half Plague Golem may exhume foul air, which fills its own square, and spreads out in a 5 feet per 3 HD radius spread centered on the Half Plague Golem. This foul air does not inhibit vision, and hangs in the air for 1d4+1 rounds before dispersing. Any creature moving through and breathing in this foul air must make a successful Fortitude save or suffer from the ill effects of the disease.

Injury: The Half Plague Golem may line a manufactured or natural weapon with its disease. Any creature struck by this weapon within the next 10 rounds must make a successful Fortitude save or suffer the ill effects of that disease.

Prismatic- As a free action, 1/minute, the Half Prismatic Golem may extend a luminous tendril from its body in order to make a Prismatic touch attack. This attack has a random effect based on the color of the tendril that made the attack, it cannot control which tendril it uses. Roll 1d8 and consult the following table to figure out the exact effect of the attack. This attack deals 1d4 damage of the appropriate type per HD.
{table=Head]1d8|Color|Result
1|Red|Fire Damage
2|Orange|Acid Damage
3|Yellow|Electricity Damage
4|Green|Disintegration Damage*
5|Blue|Cold Damage
6|Indigo|Confusion**
7|Violet|Sonic Damage
8|White|Force Damage[/table]
[size=1]*Disintegration Damage has no elemental damage tied to it, but if a creature is reduced to 0 or more hp by this damage it is disintegrated as per the spell Disintegrate.
**Confusion does no damage, but subjects the creature to a Confusion effect as per the spell of the same name. Caster Level equal to the Half Prismatic Golem’s HD. At 10 HD this increases to an Insanity effect, as per the spell of the same name.

Replicant- The Half Replicant Golem can create Replicants with the speed and ease of a normal Replicant. Doing so requires it to first gather 50 gp worth of raw materials. The process of creation is erratic and only takes 1d4+1 days to complete. The Replicant created only has ½ a HD and is completely average for its kind, except for any flaws it may have. The newly created Replicant is loyal to the Half Replicant Golem. This Replicant is treated as a hand-built and is utterly and mindlessly loyal to the Half Replicant Golem. There is a chance the new Replicant is imperfectly created. Roll a d% and consult the Replicant’s table to see if this happens and the exact manner of the flaw. Alternatively the Half Replicant Golem may use 10 gp worth of raw materials and a full-round action that provokes an AoO to cobble out a Replicant that lasts for 1d4 rounds per HD. (This Replicant is incapable of building other Replicants and has 2 flaws.)

Rubber-Chicken- As part of an attack action, 1/minute, the Half Rubber-Chicken Golem may make a Bad Joke attack with its slam. Any creature struck this slam attack must succeed on a DC (10+1/2 HD+Cha Mod) Will save, or be effected by a Hideous Laughter effect, caster level equal to its HD.

Alternatively at third level the Half Rubber-Chicken Golem may opt to, instead, gain access to the Falling Anvil discipline regardless of class. In addition, it may choose one 1st-level Strike from this discipline and use it once per encounter (as if it had picked up a strike with the Martial Study feat, although this does not count against the number of times it may select this feat).

Sand- When the Half Sand Golem strikes a living creature, some of the shapesand used to create its graft forces its way into its opponent’s mouth or nose, causing that creature to suffocate. The opponent must make a DC 10 Constitution check, repeated each round with the DC increasing by 1 for each previous round, until it can clear the sand from its lungs, or begin to suffocate. The creature can clear the sand from its blocked airways by spending a full-round action that provokes attacks of opportunity.

Sentinel-of-Mirhardir- The Half Sentinel-of-Mirhardir Golem’s slam attack runs wild with all the pride of the Olympian Gods, its slam deals an additional 2d6 God-Thunder damage, holy damage that is not subject to electricity resistance or immunity. God-Thunder deals full damage to objects. Creatures struck by this slam attack must make a successful Fortitude save DC (10+1/2 HD+Cha Mod) or suffer a penalty to Dex equal to the Half Sentinel-of-Mirhardir Golem’s Cha Mod. Creatures wearing heavy metal armor, or built primarily out of metal suffer a -4 penalty to this saving throw.

Shacklelock- The Half Shacklelock Golem gains Improved Grab, allowing it to initiate a grapple on a successful slam attack without having to make a touch attack or provoke an attack of opportunity. On a successful grapple check, the it deals constriction damage equal to its slam damage. If the Half Shacklelock Golem successfully pins a creature, it may, as an immediate action, bind that creature in a pair of Masterwork Manacles, that have an Escape Artist DC equal to (10+1/2HD+Str Mod) or require 2 Open Lock checks of the same DC. (One for the feet, and one for the Hands.) The Shacklelock Golem does not need to continue grappling the creature to leave it in its manacles, and may choose to have a bit of chain of any length up to 10 feet per HD leading back to the bound creature. The Half Shacklelock Golem may have a number of creatures so bound at any given time equal to 1/2 its HD.

Shadesteel- As a free action, 1/Minute, the Half Shadesteel Golem may release a wave of negative energy which emanates out in a 10 foot cone in front of the Half Shadesteel Golem, plus 5 feet for every 3 HD. Any creature caught this emanation suffers 1d4 negative energy damage per HD, Will save DC (10+1/2HD+Con Mod). Undead creatures are healed by this effect as they would be by an Inflict Wounds spell.

Shield-Guardian- The Half Shield-Guardian Golem gains a transfer pain touch attack. It may make a touch attack against any two creatures adjacent to it. One of these creatures is healed 1d6 Hp per HD, the other creature and the Half Shield-Guardian Golem each suffer half this damage rounded down. A Will save from the other creature reduces this damage by half again, but not for the Shield-Guardian.

Siege- The Half Siege Golem may launch a boulder or other large object from its Catapult like limb, the Half Siege Golem may throw the following sized stones or inanimate objects based on its size (before Powerful Build.) The Range of these thrown objects is 200 feet, as a projectile weapon (thus having 10 range increments.)
This attack may function as a normal ranged attack at a -2 penalty, or it may be used as the Catapult siege engine. This allows the Half Siege Golem to arc the attack, it does not require a line of sight to attack the targeted area, which is as large as the size of an object it can hurl. The Half Siege Golem must make an attack roll against an AC 15. If this attack roll fails, roll 1d8 for direction, 1 being towards the Half Siege Golem, 2-8 being clockwise around that square. This attack lands 15 feet away from its intended target in the rolled direction. Creatures and objects in the area where the attack land suffer damage as appropriate, but may make a reflex save DC (10+1/2 HD+Dex Mod) for half damage.

Reloading this Catapult limb requires a full-round action, however the Half Siege Golem has a special holster built into its back to hold 1 spare boulder at all times. Any Boulder in this Holster may be loaded as a swift action. Any Boulder or object in this holster, add its weight against the Half Siege Golem’s carrying capacity as normal.

This requires a ranged touch attack and deals 1d8 damage per 2 HD, and has a range of 40 feet per HD. Undead creatures, and creatures particularly weak to sunlight, suffer 1d6 damage per HD. Undead creatures that are particularly weak to sunlight (such as vampires) suffer 1d8 damage per HD. Inanimate objects and Constructs only suffer 1d6 damage per 2 HD.

Split-rail- The Half Split-Rail Golem’s gangly limb allows for it to make slam attacks as if it were a reach weapon sized appropriately for the Half Split-Rail Golem, however the Half Split-Rail Golem takes no penalty to attack rolls for attacking creature adjacent to it with its slam attack. Further as a standard action 1/minute, the Half Split Rail Golem may make a sweeping attack, this attack passes through a 10 foot cone in front of the Half Split-Rail Golem, plus 5 feet for every 3 HD. Any creature caught in this cone suffers damage equal to the Half Split-Rail Golem’s slam attack, and is knocked prone. A successful Reflex DC (10+1/2HD+Dex Mod) halves the damage and negates the knocked prone status.

Stained-Glass- The Half Stained-Glass Golem’s slam attack is replaced by two claw attacks that deal 1d6 damage (Medium). Further, as a standard action 1/minute the Half Stained-Glass Golem may create a hypnotic pattern by bending light fascinating any single creature of HD lower than or equal to that of the Half-Stained Glass Golem. A successful Will save DC (10+1/2HD+Cha Mod) negates this effect. A Half-Stained Glass Golem may maintain this effect with a standard action, and may keep a creature fascinated for a number of rounds equal to its Cha Mod.

Stone- The Half Stone Golem can cause a creeping curse in those raise their ire, as a free action 1/minute. The Half Stone Golem may select any target within a range of 10 feet plus 5 for every 3 HD beyond 5, this Target must succeed on a DC (10+1/2 HD+Con Mod) Will Save or suffer the effects of a Slow spell, Caster Level equal to its HD.

Tangled-Seasonal-Lights- The Half Tangled-Seasonal-Lights Golem gains Improved Grab, allowing it to initiate a grapple on a successful slam attack without having to make a touch attack or provoke an attack of opportunity. On a successful grapple check, it deals constriction damage equal to its slam damage. Further, the Half Tangled-Seasonal-Lights Golem may use an Animate Rope spell like ability once per day per 3 HD. It may use this ability to do one of the following: Animate a rope as per normal, Cause a creature’s clothing or vaguely cloth/rope-like accessories to entangle said creature for a duration equal to the Animate Rope’s duration, or to cause a targeted creature’s internal organs to twist and knot, dealing 1d4 points of nonlethal damage each round for Animate Rope’s duration.

Tombstone- 1/day per 5 HD the Half Tombstone Golem has, it may make a Slaying attack, as part of a normal slam attack, if this slam attack succeeds the Half Tombtone Golem rolls 1d6 per HD, if this totals equal to or over the targeted creature’s current hit points, it dies without a save. If it successfully slays a creature by this means it gains temporary hp equal to half the creature’s current hit points before dying, and a +2 bonus to Strength for 10 minutes per HD. This is a death effect.

Trainer- As a free action, 1/Minute, the Half Trainer Golem may let out a terrible shriek that fills a 10 foot cone in front of the Half Trainer Golem, plus 5 feet for every 3 HD. Any creature caught in this area suffers 1d4 sonic damage per HD, Fortitude save DC (10+1/2HD+Con Mod) for half, further any creature so damaged must make an additional Fortitude save of the same DC or be deafened for 1d4+1 rounds.

This attack gains an insight bonus to attack equal to its Cha Mod, and deals additional non-lethal damage equal to its HD. This need not be the Half Valorhammer Golem’s slam attack, this attack is not alignment dependent. A creature rendered unconscious through attack is subjected to an Atonement effect.

Warforged- Warforged grafts are highly adaptable, and are easily modified, the Half-Warforged Golem gains 1 upgrade selected from the Iron Golem Monster Class that it qualifies for instead of a Golem weapon.

Web- The Half Web Golem may, as a standard action, 1/minute, throw a web-net, which as a net but has a range increment of 50 feet, and is effective against creatures up to one size category larger than the Half Web Golem.

This poison has a Fortitude Save DC of (10+1/2HD+Con Mod), and deals 1d4 Dexterity damage as initial and secondary damage. This damage increases by one size category every 4 HD. At 5 HD the Half Web Golem may instead throw an Acidic web, which deals acid damage equal to its poison’s initial damage. Creatures immune to poison are not immune to the acid. The Creature is only subjected to this acid once per entanglement.

Woodwrath- The Half Woodwrath Golem gains a trample attack, as a full-round action it can move up to four times its land speed to literally run over an opponent of up to its own size category, but no larger.

This attack ignores hardness and deals full damage to objects.

[TheGeckoKing]

Firstly, this is awesome. If you take but one thing from this post, take this. IT'S AWESOME.

Secondly, I skimmed though it, and I think I have an idea. What if there was a way (Feats? Prc?) to incorporate more than one material into your body. Of course this would mean auto WIS/CHA penalties, and going though The Danger again at a penalty, but a Chocolate Birthday Cake Half-Golem is too cool to miss.

[AugustNights]

It's something I've considered, and will continue to ponder over. I think it would have to be more class levels if anything. Perhaps a repeating L.1 PRC that allows for you to either Select: 1 New Material, or A New Weapon if you have the Material Prereq. Maybe. First lets get this guy balanced before we worry about that interesting idea. But it's on my back burner for certain.

[TheGeckoKing]

Fair enough, and i've found one thing I'm not fond of - The Blood Golem Material. I would of just given a capped bonus for being coated in blood, or something, rather than make it a vampire golem...thing.

per 4 HD the Half Ash Golem has. The Half-Sand Golem may also leave clouds of Ash

A Restoration spell will automatically recover the Strength damage and will Strength loss for 24 hours.

Will what?

Dragon-flesh- This material is exceptionally sensible to vibrations. The Half Dragon-flesh Golem gains Blindsight with a range of 10 feet plus an extra 10 feet for every 4 HD it has.

I thought Dragons only get blindsense, so why would a limb get Sight? If I'm wrong, forgive me.

If the Half Fewmet Golem did not have an Arcane Caster class before, or if it does not wish to increase said casting class, it gains this benefit as for a 1rst level Sorcerer.

1st or first

Force- This material is naturally enigmatic, The Half Force Golem gains a deflection bonus to armor class equal to its Wisdom modifier, further it gains a bonus on bull-rush checks (including opposed strength checks) equal to its HD.

Hmmm... I get that force is all about pushing someone around, but why not Trip as well? Also, as written the parenthetical overrides the bull-rush because most other combat maneuvers are strength based and are opposed. I assume you meant to Resist? If so, the wording could be cleaned up.

Further, the Half Gear Golem may make repairs on other Constructs without a craft check or tools, it effectively gains a Repair spell of equal level to half its HD usable a number of times per day equal to its wisdom modifier.

As in, Repair Light Damage that grows into the other versions? Sometimes thats a downgrade and sometimes there isn't an applicable, especially at higher levels. If you mean that it Repairs for 1d8/2HD a number of times per day equal to Wis mod, then the wording could be more clear.

The Half Hangman Golem can repair itself but it takes double time. There's no penalty for failing these repair checks. A repair spell of any level instantly recovers an equal amount of Dexterity damage to the Hp damage it recovers.

Dex damage only from Slashing and Fire, or any Dex damage?

Hellfire- This material is wrought from the very fires of the seven hells,

Seven? You mean 9? Granted, not all of them are on fire, and the one with Hellfire is likely the coldest, but still.

Inevitable- This material is the flesh of Law itself, steal, ivory, brass and marble stolen from those who exist to maintain Order

The Half Inevitable Golem receives a racial bonus on all checks that it makes opposed by a bluff check.

Steel
Equal to?

This mud entangles any creatures that walk into its space, any such creature must make a balance check DC (10+1/2 the Half Mud Golem’s HD+Strength modifier) or fall prone, directly after which, weather successful or not, the creature must make a Reflex save of equal DC or be glued in place.

Weather: the sky
whether: or not

I love the Half-Piñata and will be finding the base for it after I'm done to see if I love that as well.

The Half Shield-Guardian may store one in its body, either ‘peacefully’ cast into it by a willing creature, or any spell that has failed to overcome the Half Shield- Guardian Golem’s Spell Resistance.

I get it from the next line, but you missed it in the bold.

The Half Siege Golem can repair itself but it takes double time. There's no penalty for failing these repair checks. A repair spell of any level instantly recovers an equal amount of Strength damage to the Hp damage it recovers.

Again, any Str damage or just from fire/slashing?

This is treated as a light affect of spell level equal to 1/4 the Half Tangled-Seasonal-Lights Golem’s HD.

Eh, I'm not sure about 1/4th on this as it can be snuffed out fairly easily at any level you're going to be working at, but as its just light I doubt anyone cares. >.>

Tombstone-

Does this allow it to take Divine feats? Might potentially want to think twice about that.

Half-warforged is delicious.

Woodwrath- This material was bound together in the outer planes of the wild. The Half Woodwrath Golem gains a +2 bonus to Constitution

So a Failed is just boned out of a stat boost?

Didn't do the weapons, because whoadang.

Hmm... should have spoiled that to begin with.

"Any abilities from the Half-Golem Class that are based on Constitution instead use Wisdom for the Failed Half Golem." Under The Danger.
But I'll make a stipulation.

Whoadang indeed. This was fun.

[Tacitus]

Well I think at one point the CLW/RLD jumps from CSW/RSD to Mass CLW/MLD from one spell level to the next, which means you can heal a bunch of things for a pittance but can't give burst healing to a single. If you intend to allow it to use any Repair of up to half their HD, then that also needs a wee bit of clarification.

And I figured it might give Wis instead, but I tend to look for things that might potentially cause questions in the future just to get them out of the way. >.>

[ocel]

Shouldn't there be a risk for spell failure, with the light fortification or the part in question of being under prosthesis, IE being replaced with a prosthetic limb?

Also the Iron weapon sounds a little overpowered with the effects on others constitution ability score.

This is awesome. I haven't read all of the materials, but I shall definately bookmark this.

I don't think so. Warforged suffer no spell failure, Renegade Mastermakers suffer no spell failure, Graft Feats apply no spell failure, as it seems to me there is substantial precedent for not including Spell failure.

Also the Iron weapon sounds a little overpowered with the effects on others constitution ability score.

It's a poison attack, resistances, immunities, and all that good stuff against poisons should apply. It is a little strong, but most enemies are going to have high poison resistances.

[AugustNights]

Composite plating. Right. Yes they do, but they can opt to have an unarmored body with a feat. Hmmm. Still I don't think Spell Failure should be a part of this class, it seems like additional punishment to spell casters who already have little reason to take the 2-3 level dip this class offers.

@ Monkman

I think you have confused materials for weapons in a few places. Otherwise here's my response.

Cadaver-collector: Ayup. Says right there, armor spikes, one size category larger. Impale as golemaic weapon.

Calzeone- Nope. Its a splash attack, I added that its centered in its square now. Ifa ranged attack hits the Calzone golem the assualtant gets no reflex save, but is also not within the area of the attack, so requires none.

Trainer Golem: I feel as if one level in Bard for Spells and Bardic Music isn't too powerful At level one thats some very mild bonuses.

Warforged: I'm fine with there being a Warforged Graft and a Monster Class Warforged.

Woodwrath: Good note, I'll clear up that no, they dont.

Jet Pack: I may add jetpack fluff, but I think anything better than levitate may be too much here.

Birthdaycake: Something tells me I didn't actually read Heroes' Feast when I made that ability. that needs some editation.As for light spells, why? They already have a bunch of canles they can light at will.

Blood: Nope. Unless they specifically can sustain a creature without blood (Like Vampires) then it doesn't fly for the Half Blood Golem. The Blood doesn't replace the water, that's just an arbitrary amount depnding on the race. (Halfling require less water than dwarves who probably require less water than... I don't know, Ocean Drinkers.)

Brass: Oh, that is a bit weak. Need to come with something. Already Maze, see weapon.

@ Tacticus

Warforged: Pants. I meant Maug. Fixed. Pants. Maug isn't finished. Lets go with Iron Golem.

Dragon: Blindsense may be better any how coming from a balancing point of view.

Force: See Golemaic Weapon

Gear: Working on that...

Fewmet- This material is extremely fertile in magical energy, but it is also most foul, The Half Fewmet Golem effectively gains an additional level, for purposes of Caster Level, Spells Known, and Ability to cast spells per day as if it had gained a level in any arcane casting class it had access to before taking its First level of Half Fewmet Golem, if it had more than one Arcane casting class before taking its First level of Half Fewmet Golem, it must select one to gain this benefit. If the Half Fewmet Golem did not have an Arcane Caster class before, or if it does not wish to increase said casting class, it gains this benefit as for a 1st level Sorcerer. It only gains this increase at first level. Any creature successfully making a bite attack on the Half Fewmet Golem must pass a DC (10+1/2 The Half Fewmet Golem’s HD + Constitution Modifier) fortitude save, or suffer from the nauseated status for 1d4+1 rounds, even on a successful save they are sickened for 1 round.

Answer in red.

[Tanuki Tales]

I think that the Golems that grant DR = Str should instead add their Str mod to their DR.

Here's an example with a base 18 Str score and a base race that gives +2 Str.

By the 3rd level of this class they would have a Strength score of 25 and DR of DR 7/Adamantine. Any other Half-Golem would have only DR 1/Adamantine so yeah, it looks real good right now.

Now let's take a look at the same two characters when they're 14. The former would have Strength 28 (assuming its dumping all of its ability points to Strength) and DR 9/Adamantine. The other character would have DR 7/Adamantine. So while the former still has more than the latter, the 6 point gap from level 3 has changed to a 2 point gap.

Finally, here's a look at 20. The former has Strength 30 and DR 10/Adamantine. But hey, guess what, so does the other Half-Golem. And you know what else? The other half-golem didn't have to dump all 5 points it got from leveling into Str to reach that high a DR.

Now sure, this doesn't take into account using the ability to spend more gold on your graft to bump scores or using gold to buy permanent increases to Str or taking classes like War Hulk to get your strength up. But on the flip side the other golem type character didn't have to direct their entire character build to buff up one stat just so that one of their body material type's major features wasn't rendered useless.

Edit: Some may say that this would be overpowered, but compared to monsters that are at CR 20 or higher, that's actually just on-par with them and those monsters also tend to have other things like Fast Healing or Regeneration or casting, etc.

Right. Uhm. There are no Half Golems that base their damage reduction off of strength straight, and the Adamantine golem gains its strength modifier to DR.
I don't think comparing a 3 level prestige class to something that is CR 20 is a precise metric. DR 1/Adamantine is pretty tight at levels 1-3, and as for the scaling, anything higher than 10 kind of puts the other classes to shame. This isn't to say that items shouldn't be allowed to increase this, or offer higher DR, but higher DR from class levels seems excessive to me.

Half-Golem: Yeah, this is an awesome revision. The sheer number of options it allows is... amazing.

I could have sworn I already responded to this. I guess not.
Yeah options are my favorite thing ever.
I opened the monster manuals, did a few site searches and got my build on.

Okay, so first thing: I agree that you should somehow be able to take it more than once, or take a repeating one level dip that grants you an additional construction material. Perhaps increase the danger to your humanity each time, but combining some of these would be awesome.

Thinking of a 5 level prestige class, The Halfwrought Horror, which goes a little something like this:
1) New Material(*), Mild active ability
2) New Weapon(*), Other Mild active ability
3) New Material(**), Cool Ability
4) New Weapon (**), Interesting Ability
5) New Weapon or Material of Choosing, Living Construct Type/I don't something crazy for those failed types.

[*]Golem Plate: I... I almost want the DR overcoming to be based on your material, as much more work as that would be. Birthday Cake resisting all but adamantine doesn't seem to make a lot of sense.

I'm okay with it, I think of DR like that is the cakey substance gums up normal weapon's attacks. Besides, other material types will be unbalanced and weaker in the long run.

[*]Magic Resistance: A little on the high side, but good!

It would be immunity, so this seems okay to me.

[*]Construction Material:
Artillery: Seems less powerful than a lot of the other materials, fairly situational. But good.

Birthday Cake: Seems like you want to have some more candles than that, or give them more fast healing. Because as is, it seems like you're taping on some pretty serious conditions for fast healing which is no greater than that which other monster classes grant. Otherwise, funny and cool.

Brain: I feel like being half made of brain should give you an intelligence boost... I mean, if you're boosting strength with other materials, why not?

Brass: A little bit underpowered, but otherwise okay.

Caltrop: Seems like the cadaver collector, only more powerful. Now that I've seen this one, it seems like you might want to give cadaver a little bit more power? But leaving caltrops behind is pretty awesome.

Clay: It looks fun and balanced, but what does moving fast have to do with clay?

Dragonflesh: Can we get a little bit greater range on that blindsense? Maybe 10 per 3 HD instead? Otherwise, nice.

Fewmet: On the powerful side, but fun.

Gravedirt: Skeleton of ANY SIZE? You might want to specify a little, some people will read that as, "I summon a colossal ++++++++++ human skeleton."

Juggernaught: There's no GH in juggernaut. Basically like the other one, but still fun.

Prismatic: Okay, that works. Seems not quite flashy enough for prismatic, but it's good.

Skywatcher: Not very powerful compared to some of the others, but still good.

Woodwrath: Can't say I'm a massive fan of the flavor, but the ability is super fun and seems balanced.

Artillery: Perhaps a bump to Levitation Speed? Give it a more 'jet pack' sort of feel.

Birthday Cake: Hmmm well considering the rate at which the candles will go out, perhaps a number equal to HD opposed to Half HD?

Brain: I...W...YES! That's a freaking great idea!

Brass: My head is leaking red fluids from beating it against this guy hoping creativity will flow. Maybe something simpler would be better +2 Str, Nat armor = AC, and Keen Scent sound good?

Caltrop/Cadaver: If you check the Cadaver's Weapon, its carrying capacity increase is going to help it out a lot. Perhaps it should have armor spikes of a creature 2 sizes larger rather than 1 size larger?

Clay: Part of the monster entry.

Dragonflesh: Ah, yes. Recently changed it from Blindsight, so longer ranger blindsense would be better.

Fewmet: I suppose a bit, but Sorcerers can use all the help they can get, especially if dipping into something like Half-golem. And think of the Role playing downsides. You're a half-fecal golem, some taverns won't even let you in!

Gravedirt: While there is nothing larger than Colossal+ you bring up a good point that I should limit this summoning by HD.

Juggernaught: Wouldja look at that. Huh.

Prismatic: I suppose it could use a little kick. Maybe a prismatic backlash? Hmmm and Dancing lights at will? I think yes.

Skywatcher: What say we bump that Lowlight vision up to 4x instead of 2x, and allow spot checks to be increased if not moving?

Woodwrath: Which part? Assassin vines, or being cobbled from the various whatnots of the wilder planes?

Okay, this is... really killer to try and critique. And I'm not even going into great detail on most of the construction materials. Can't imagine how long you must have worked on this. I'll get to the rest of the stuff later.

It was really fun to work on, and I don't have internet in my house, so free time is large, but ability to post is minimal. Thanks for you response Magicyop!

[Tanuki Tales]

Woops, misread a few of the golems.

And DR 1/Adamantine isn't really much when you can net DR 2/- from one single feat that only has Toughness and a Con of 20 as preqs.

And its not like its such a bad thing to give melee nice things.

Edit: But my point is moot since I misread the golems that originally made me bring this up. xD

(A creature has enough consumable flesh and blood to heal a Half Blood Golem a number of hp in this manner up to its full constitution score.)

Khandurus Clay-This material is dug from the spoiled and tainted land of Khandurus.

The Half Midnight Golem effectively gains an additional level, for purposes of meldshaper Level, number of soulmelds it can shape, the number of chakra binds it can create, and its essential pool as if it had gained a level in any meldshaping class it had access to before taking its first level of Half Midnight Golem. The Half Midnight Golem does not, however, gain any other abilities of that class, such as new tiers of chakra binds. If it had more than one meldshaping class before taking its First level of Half Midnight Golem, it must select one to gain this benefit. If the Half Midnight Golem did not have an meldshaping class before, or if it does not wish to increase said meldshaping class, it gains this benefit as for a 1st level Totemist. It only gains this increase at first level. Furtheer the Half midnight Golem is adept at blending into the night and gains a racial bonus on hide checks equal to half the Half Midnight Golem’s HD while in areas of darkness or shadowy illumination.

Paper-This material is carefully folded from extremely delicate, but fantastically beautiful, paper and offers amazing elegance to the Half Paper Golem.

In addition the Half Paper Golem’s slam attack now deals slashing damage and has critical threat range of 18-20/x2. However, every time the Half Paper Golem takes Slashing or Fire damage it must make a Fortitude save DC (10+ damage dealt) or it suffers a -1 penalty to Dexterity. Further damage taken increases this penalty by an extra -1 to Dexterity for every failed fortitude save. It takes 1 minute of interrupted work with proper tools (Which cost 50 GP, and are not expended by this) and a successful Craft (Origami) or other appropriate check (DC 18) to remove each point of this Dexterity penalty. The Half Paper Golem can repair itself but it takes double time. There's no penalty for failing these profession checks.

Psicrystal- The Half Psicrystal Golem is generally grafted to replace an eye or other small 'limb' of its owner's choosing, and is generally grafted to the Psion that cognicized it. Though some cruel psions will forcibly graft their own psicrystal to another in order to always be capable of spying on them. In any case, A Half Psicrystal Golem never fails their The Danger will save unless the participant wills it do so, further the Psicrystal 'limb' is teaming with self-awareness that overflows into the mind of its subject, granting the subject a +2 bonus to Charisma. A grafted Psicrystal continues to function as a normal Psicrystal would.

Retriever-This material was tempered in the chaotic forges of the abyss, and quenched in the cooling essence of fleeting innocence, this material is quite strong and filled with strange magic. This material grants the Half Retriever Golem an additional +2 to Strength and its natural armor bonus increases to equal its Constitution modifier. Further the Half Retriever Golem gains access to Discern Location as a spell like ability, which it may use once per day per 4 HD. Its caster level is equal to its HD.

Retrospect- This material is extraordinarily difficult to graft to the flesh, as that it does not exist exactly in one place or time. Increase the DC of The Danger by 5. Once attached to the flesh, the Half Retrospect Golem begins to fade in and out of its own existence in time and space, offering it a deflection bonus to armor class equal to its wisdom modifier. Further the Half Retrospect golem may push this odd ability to begin to waver itself in time and space for a number of rounds per day equal to its HD, while wavering itself all attacks suffer a 20% miss chance, which is not negated by truesight or any other form of advanced vision. This is not an illusion effect. What is more, upon reaching 5 HD, while wavering, the Half Retrospect Golem a Ephemeral Step (see spoiler) Speed equal to half its base land speed.

Spoiler

Show

Ephemeral Step Movement Speed: This movement speed functions similar to dimension door, allowing a creature that has access to it to instantly transfer itself from its current location to any location within the distance that the Movement Speed allows for. This requires no more effort than walking or running on the part of the creature with this base land speed, creatures with an Ephemeral step movement speed cannot bring additional creatures with them, unless specified otherwise. If a creature with an ephemeral step arrives in a location already occupied by a solid body, the creature suffers 1d6 points of damage and is shunted the nearest open space on a suitable surface within 100 feet of the intended location, if there is no such free space within 100 feet the creature suffers an additional 2d6 points of damage and is shunted to a free space within 1,000 feet. If no such space exists the creature suffers 4d6 points of damage, and does not move from its initial location, wasting its movement for that turn.

Soul-fused-This material is the result of a rare instance when raw incarnum will bond with non-sentient semi-animated matter, imbuing the matter with a semblance of life. This material is highly rich in self-awareness on essential energies granting the Half Soul-fused golem a +2 bonus to Charisma. The Half Soul-fused golem also gains a small bonus to its essentia pool, granting the Half Soul-fused golem 1+1 per 6HD additional essentia points. Further, the naturally living state of the Soul-fused material makes it easier to graft, reducing the Will save DC of The Danger Ritual by 5.

Tin-This material is composed of complex layers of a light but simple metal, fashioned in such a way as to be used for some profession or craft. The Half Tin Golem’s Strength improves by an extra +2 and its natural armor bonus increases to equal its constitution modifier. In addition, the Half Tin Golem gains a racial bonus equal to its HD on any two Profession or Craft Checks. Further, with the Half Tin Golem’s heart encased in cold metal the Half Tin Golem’s gains immunity to all fear and moral effects.

Wax-This material almost appears to be normal flesh, though it is much more malleable and soft. The pliability of this material grants the Half Wax Golem an additional +2 to Dexterity and its natural armor bonus increases to equal its Constitution modifier. Because of its semi-shapeable flesh the Half-Wax Golem use Disguise Self as a spell-like ability 1/day per HD as a full-round action. This is a Transformation, not an Illusion. The Half Wax Golem’s body changes, but not its possessions. The change is permanent until willingly changed. Use of this ability grants a +10 circumstance bonus on Disguise checks.

Wood-This material is made of alchemically treated wood that still lives and continues to grow. The Half Wood Golem gains Fast Healing equal to half its HD. Further the Half Wood Golem’s naturally connection with nature grants the ability to Speak with Plants 1/day per HD as a spell like ability, with a caster level equal to its HD. Spells and affects that effect or target plant creatures treat the Half Wood Golem as a plant creature. Half Wood Golems may spend 1 hour with their feet in soil and their limb in natural sunlight in order to forgo eating normal food for 1 day.

Golemaic Weapon

Astral- Not unlike the Half Astral Golem’s material, the weapon this monstrosity utilizes is also wrought of raw ectoplasm, and is amorphous and flexible as the material used to create it. When re-shaping its construction material ability, the Half Astral Golem may also reshape its weapon. Choose one of the following.

Spoiler

Show

Bullrush: As a full round action, 1/minute, the Half Astral Golem may slam into its target, to make a special bulrush attack. The Half Astral Golem makes a normal attack roll, if it strike it deal its normal slam damage and may make a free bull rush attempt. If this attack succeeds, the opponent is knocked prone as well as back. At 8 HD the Half Astral Golem can use this ability as a standard action, and at 13 HD as a part of a full round attack, however this is still only 1/minute.

Cleave: The Half Astral Golem's Slam attack increases in one size category, and may deal slashing damage, further the Half Astral Golem gains the benefits of the Cleave feat, even if it does not possess it, if the Half Astral Golem already has access to the Cleave feat, it gains an insight bonus on the attack rolls of the extra attack(s) granted by this feat equal to half its HD.

Concussion: As a free action 1/minute, the Half Astral Golem can manifest concussion blast as a manifester of level equal to half its HD. This is a psionic-like ability.

Constrict: The Half Astral Golem gains the benefits of the Improved Grab ability, allowing it to initiate a grapple on a successful slam attack without having to make a touch attack or provoke an attack of opportunity. On a successful grapple check, the Half Astral Golem deals constriction damage equal to its slam damage. If it beats the opponents grapple check by 10, the opponent must succeed on a DC (10+1/2 HD+Con Mod) Fortitude save or be dazed for one round. Even on a successful save the opponent begins to suffocate until it can break free from the grapple.

Extra Attack: The Half Astral Golem gains one additional slam attack, identical to the Slam attack it gains from Prototype body. Its bonus on damage rolls for this extra slam attacks is equal to its Strength modifier × 1½, as normal.

Energy Bolt: Choose one of the following energy types: fire, cold, acid, electricity, or sonic. As a free action 1/minute, the Half Astral Golem can manifest energy bolt as a manifester of level equal to half its HD, always using the energy type it selected when it chose this weapon. This is a psionic-like ability.

Energy Touch: Choose one of the following energy types: fire, cold, acid, electricity, or sonic. The Half Astral Golem’s natural attacks and unarmed strikes are wreathed in the chosen energy type, dealing an extra 2d6 points of energy damage, unless sonic was selected in which case the Half Astral Golem deals an extra 2d4 points of damage of an energy type.

Keen Striking: The Half Astral Golem’s natural slam attack may deal slashing or piercing damage rather than bludgeoning damage, and its threat range is increased to 18-20/x3. Upon reaching 10 HD the Half Astral Golem’s natural slam is treated as having the vorpal special quality.

Poison Touch: The Half Astral Golem’s slam attack gains a poisonous quality, allowing it to inflict poison with its slam attack. An opponent damaged by its slam attack is subjected to its injury vector poison, with a Fortitude save DC of (10+1/2 HD+Con Mod) and an initial and secondary damage of 1d4 Ability damage. This damage increases by one size category every 5 HD the Half Astral Golem has. When the Half Astral golem is selects this weapon it must choose one of the three physical abilities (Strength, Dexterity or Constitution) for this ability to damage, once this choice is made it cannot be changed until the half Astral golem selects it’s weapon and construction material again.

Pounce: The Half Astral golem’s slam attack becomes two natural claw attacks that deal 1d4 damage, and one natural bite attack that deals 1d4 damage. When making a charge the Half Astral Golem may attack with all three of these weapons at its highest base attack bonus.

Rend: The Half Astral Golem gains two claw attacks that deal 1d6 damage, instead of its normal slam attack. A Half Astral Golem that hits the same opponent with two claw attacks in the same round rends its foe, which deals extra damage equal to 2d6 + 1½ times its Str modifier.

Smite: As a standard action, 1/minute, the Half Astral Golem may invoke a terrible smiting with its slam attack that delivers the frustration and confusion that the lack of any strong moral or ethical concerns tends to weight on a neutral creature. This attack gains an insight bonus to attack equal to the Half Astral Golem’s Cha mod, and deals additional damage equal to the its HD. Unlike the Half Inevitable Golem’s smite, this attack does need to be its slam attack, however this attack is still not alignment dependent.

Spring Attack: The Half Astral Golem’s base land speed increases by 5 feet per 2 HD, further when using the attack action with its slam attack, the Half Astral Golem can move both before and after the attack, provided that its total distance moved is not greater than its speed. Moving in this way does not provoke an attack of opportunity from the attacked target, though it might provoke attacks of opportunity from other creatures, if appropriate. Unlike the spring attack feat this ability may be used in heavy armor, and does not qualify as the Spring Attack feat for any purposes.

Whirling Blades Attack: As part of a Full-Defense action the Half Astral Golem can surround itself with a whirling, slicing shield of ectoplasmic blades, Any creature adjacent to the Half Astral Golem suffers 1d4 slashing damage per HD of the Half Astral Golem, a successful Reflex save DC (10+1/2 HD+Dex Mod) reduces this damage by half. Any creature or object entering or passing through a square adjacent to the Half Astral Golem is subjected to this damage without a saving throw. The Half Astral Golem further gains a one half cover from this ability granting it a +4 cover bonus to AC. The Half Astral Golem may not take a move action while this ability is activated. A Half Astral Golem may use this ability a number rounds per day equal to twice its HD.

Whirlwind Attack: A a standard attack action 1/minute the Half Astral Golem may make a slam attack against each opponent within reach of the Half Astral Golem’s Slam attack. Unlike Whirlwind attack the Half Astral Golem does not forfeit any other attacks, and may use this as either a standard action, or part of a full attack iterative, and does not qualify as the Whirlwind Attack feat for any purposes.

Trample: The Half Astral Golem gains a trample attack, as a full-round action it can literally run over an opponent of up to its own size category, but no larger. It may move up to twice its speed and must completely cover the target’s space while making this trample attack. This attack deals damage equal to twice its slam plus one times its Strength modifier damage to any creature it runs over. Creatures trampled gain an attack of opportunity at a -4 attack penalty, if the creature chooses to not take the attack of opportunity it may attempt a reflex save DC (10+1/2 HD+Str Mod) to only suffer half damage. The Half Astral Golem may only deal trampling damage to each target once per round, no matter how many times its movement takes it over a target creature. Creatures damaged by the Half Astral Golem’s Trample are not knocked prone.

Trip: If the Half Astral Golem hits an opponent with its natural slam attack, it may attempt to trip that opponent without needing to make a touch attack, or provoking an attack of opportunity. Further, when attacking a prone creature, the Half Astral Golem deals an additional 1d8 damage with a successful attack.

Bone- As a free action, 1/Minute, the Half Bone Golem can launch a massive spray of sharpened bones and wire from its body. This fills a 10 foot cone in front of the Half Bone Golem, plus 5 feet for every HD it has. Creatures within the area are bombarded with sharp skiked bones, which deals 1d4 piercing damage per HD of the Half Bone Golem to anyone in the area, Reflex DC (10+ 1/2 HD+Con Mod)for half. Further the Half Bone Golem may use its grafted limb to fire naturally produced bone darts, this attack deals 1d8 piercing damage, with a 19-20/x3 critical multiplier. This attack has a range of 80 ft, like a projectile weapon, and may be used for iterative attacks. The Half Bone Golem can rapidly regenerate twice its dexterity modifier in bone darts per day, rapid regeneration requires a free action. Otherwise it requires 1 hours time to regenerate a bone dart. These bone darts may be removed and used as normal dart by any creature proficient with it (1d4 damage, x2 critical, 20 ft thrown range increment.) Darts removed from the limb may not be 'reloaded' into it.

Crystal-As a free action, 1/Minute, the Half Crystal Golem can use a dispel psionics ability. The effect is as an area dispel in a 5 feet per HD radius burst, centered on the Half Crystal Golem. The Dispel check is 1d20+the Half Crystal Golem's HD, and is not limited by the usual cap of 10.

Equine- As a free action, 1/Minute, the Half Equine Golem may release a violent neigh or whinny which emits a 10 foot cone of sonic energy in front of the Half Equine Golem, plus 5 feet for every 3 HD. Any creature caught in this area suffers 1d4 sonic damage per HD, Fortitude save DC (10+1/2HD+Con Mod) for half, further any creature so damaged must make an additional Fortitude save of the same DC or be deafened for 1d4+1 rounds.

Fungus- As a free action, 1/Minute, the Half Fungus Golem may breathe out a cloud of poisonous gas which fills a 10 foot cone in front of the Half Fungus Golem, plus 5 feet for every 3 HD. Any creature caught in the gas is subjected to the its inhaled vector poison, with a Fortitude save DC of (10+1/2 HD+Con Mod) and an initial and secondary damage of 1d4 Con damage. This damage increases by one size category every 4 HD the Half Fungus Golem has. At 5 HD the Half Fungus Golem may instead deal acid damage equal to its initial damage with this breath weapon, offering no save, and not requiring the creature to ‘inhale’ it. Creatures immune to poison are not immune to the acid.

Incarnum-When the Half Incarnum Golem strikes it adapts its attack to take advantage of weaknesses in the opponent’s defenses. Each round that it successfully damages a living or undead creature with its slam attack, it gains a cumulative +1 insight bonus (maximum +5) on attack rolls and damage rolls with its slam attack against that opponent. This bonus remains in force until the Half Incarnum golem deals damage to a different target. Further after successfully striking a creature with damage reduction or regeneration the Half Incarnum Golem’s slam attack modifies itself one step closer to either overcoming the damage reduction or getting past the regeneration (the Half Incarnum Golem’s choice). The Half Incarnum Golem is not aware of how it’s damage changes and thus cannot share this information with its allies. (For example if fighting a lich the Half Incarnum Golem’s attack would be treated as magical after landing its first strike. Or while fighting a creature with Damage Reduction Piercing and Magic and Adamantine The Half Incarnum Golem’s Slam attack would require 3 successful slams in order to overcome the damage reduction, though it could not relay to its allies how to overcome this creatures DR.) Like the bonus to attack and damage this modification to the Half Incarnum Golem’s slam attack remains until it deals damage to another target.

Khandurus Blood- The Half Khandurus Blood Golem’s slam attack becomes a terrible siphon of blood, flesh, and life energy. 1/day per HD as a standard attack action, the Half Khandurus Blood golem may declare that it is making a siphoning slam attack. If this slam attack hits the Half Khandurus Blood Golem deals extra damage equal to its charisma modifier, further the Half Khandurus Blood Golem may grant any target within 10 feet per HD temporary Hp equal to the half amount of damage it dealt, this temporary hp lasts for 1 hour per HD of the Half Khandurus Golem, and stacks with itself but cannot exceed 3x the Half Khandurus Blood Golem’s HD.

Khandurus Clay The Half Khandurus Clay Golem’s slam attacks leave the taint of Khandurus’s earth on its targets. The damage from the Half Khandurus Clay Golem’s slams can't be removed by any means until the creature damaged receives a healing check DC (10+1/2 HD +Con Mod) or receive a Conjuration [Healing] spell that passes a Caster level check of the same DC. Further The Half Khandurus Clay golem’s natural attacks always bypass regeneration.

Khandurus Fire- The Half Khandurus Fire Golem may radiate an aura of heat as a 5 feet per HD radius emanation, centered on the Half Khandurus Fire Golem, any creatures or objects within this area suffer 1d6 points of Fire damage per HD. Initiating this aura or ending it is a swift action, but the Half Khandurus Fire Golem may only maintain its Heat aura for a number of rounds per day equal to twice its HD.

Khandurus Iron- The Half Khandurus Iron Golem taps into its internal magic reserve, enhancing its slam attack, not unlike a soulblade enhances their mindblade, The Half Khandurus Iron Golem’s slam attack gains a +1 magical enhancement bonus to its slam attacks, as if it were a magic weapon. Every 4 HD the Half Khandurus Iron Golem has this improves by +1. Beginning at 4 HD the Half Khandurus Iron Golem may assign any of the special ability that can normally be assigned to a bludgeoning light weapon to its Slam attack, in exchange for its equivalent enhancement bonus. The Half Khandurus Iron Golem can choose any combination of weapon special abilities that does not exceed the total allowed by its HD. The Half Khandurus Golem may not have a total enhancement bonus to attack and damage greater than +5 until it reaches 21 HD, at which point it may not have a total enhancement bonus to attack and damage greater than +10. A Half Khandurus Iron Golem can reassign the ability or abilities he has added to his slam attack 1/day. To do so, it must first spend 8 hours in concentration. After that period, the slam attack loses its old abilities and enhancements and gains the new ability or abilities selected by the Half Khandurus Iron Golem.

Dual: The Half Khandurus Iron Golem gains a second Slam attack with all of the modifiers of the first.

Poisoned The Half Khandurus Iron Golem’s Slam attack drips with a vicious poison. The Initial and Secondary damage are selected by the Half Khandurus Iron Golem at time of taking this special ability, the DC is (10+1/2 HD + Charisma Mod.)

Ability Damage- 1d4 initial and secondary damage to the chosen ability, this increases by 1 size every 4 HD.

Sleep- Intial damage, sleep for 1 round per HD, Secondary Damage sleep for 1d4 hours, this die size increases by 1 step for every for HD.

Toxicity- Rather than having an Initial and Secondary Damage this Poison Deals damage each round after it has infected its victim. The difference between the fortitude save and the DC is the damage that the target suffers on their next turn, this damage is suffered every round with a cumulative -1 to the damage dealt each round until the poison deals 0 damage. This damage is not negated by Damage Reduction.

Shield- The Half Khandurus Iron Golem loses its slam attack and instead gains the benefits and penalties of wielding a Heavy Iron Shield, which may be modified by Shield special abilities rather than weapon special abilities. (Weapon Special abilities may still be selected, but only apply to shield bash attacks, further the Enhancement Bonus to a Shield Slam must either be used Armor Enhancement or Weapon Enhancement, and cannot be used as both.)

Midnight- The Half Midnight golem may radiate a deadly soulburning aura as a 5 feet per HD radius emanation, centered on the Half Midnight Golem, any living creatures within this area suffer 1d6 points of damage per HD the Half Midnight golem has, and suffers 1 point of strength damage for every 2 HD the Half Midnight golem has. A successful fortitude save DC (10+1/2 HD + Con Mod) reduces this damage by half and negates the strength damage.

Paper- The Half Paper Golem gains an additional slashing slam attack, and may make a flurry attack with its slams, gaining an additional attack at full base attack bonus, however when using this flurry, all attacks made in the round suffer a -2 penalty. (The Half Paper Golem should wind up with 3 slam attacks with a flurry).

Psicrystal- Having a cognicized psicrystal grafted into the flesh opens the subject's mind and abilities, granting the subject access to any one psionic-like ability of first level. This ability is chosen once at the level the Half Psicrystal Golem gains its Golemaic Weapon class feature, and cannot be changed after that. This psionic-like ability does not need to be of the same class of the person who cognicized the crystal, as that it is an awakening of the subject's latent powers (even if the subject congnicized the crystal). This power may be drawn from either the generic psion/wilder list, or the psychic warrior list, and must have a manifesting time of 1 standard action or less. The Half Psicrystal Golem may use this psionic-like ability as a free action 1/minute

Retriever- The Half Retriever Golem gains access to one of the Retriever’s terrible eyes, the Half Retriever Golem may select one Eye to benefit from, it may not change this selection after it gains access to Golemaic Weapon.

Ruby Eye- The Half Retriever Golem, as a free action, 1/minute, may release a beam of scorching flames. This requires a ranged touch attack and deals 1d6 fire damage per HD, and has a range of 10 feet per HD.

Topaz Eye- The Half Retriever Golem, as a free action, 1/minute, may release an arc with a thunderous charge. This requires a ranged touch attack and deals 1d6 electricity damage per HD, and has a range of 10 feet per HD.

Sapphire Eye- The Half Retriever Golem, as a free action, 1/minute, may release a stream of bone-chilling mist. This requires a ranged touch attack and deals 1d6 cold damage per HD, and has a range of 10 feet per HD.

Emerald Eye- The Half Retriever Golem, as a free action, 1/minute, may release a geyser of fiendishly powerful acid. This requires a ranged touch attack and deals 1d6 Acid damage per HD, and has a range of 10 feet per HD.

Amethyst Eye- The Half Retriever Golem, as a free action, 1/minute, may launch a petrifying ray. This requires a ranged touch attack and deals 1d6 Dexterity damage, and has a range of 10 feet per HD. This damage increases by one size category every 4 HD the Half Retriever Golem has. The targeted creature is allowed a Fortitude save DC (10+1/2 HD+ Strength Modifier), for half damage. Should the target be reduced to 0 Dexterity in this manner they become petrified, as per Flesh to Stone, except that this works on any creature that has its Dexterity reduced to 0, and is not necessarily restricted to “flesh” creatures.

Retrospect- The Half Retrospect Golem’s existence on multiple time lines allows it to strike creatures in such a way that their own existence within time and space is muddled. As part of a Slam attack 1/minute the Half Retrospect Golem may make a backstaggering slam. Any creature successfully hit by this backstaggering slam must make a Will save DC (10+1/2HD+Wisdom Modifier) or suffer the effects of a or suffer the effects of a Slow spell, Caster Level equal to its HD. Upon reaching 8 HD this attack also instills the effects of Dimensional Anchor like effect for the duration that the creature is slowed.

Soul-fused- The Half Soul-fused Golem gain access to a unique chakra: the golem chakra. This chakra is not associated with any location on the body, but rather represents the Half Soul-fused Golem’s connection to raw incarnum. When the Half Soul-fused Golem binds a soulmeld to their golem chakra, their Half Soul-fused Golem limb takes on characteristics of the meld, usually involving a limited physical transformation. Since the golem chakra doesn’t match a body location, binding a soulmeld to this chakra doesn’t restrict the Half Soul-fused Golem’s use of magic items that take up a body location. Any soulmeld bound to the Half Soul-fused Golem’s golem chakra has an essentia capacity equal to the normal capacity for the Half Soul-fused Golem’s soulmelds. Further the Half-Soul Fused Golem may select any one ‘hands’ chakra soulmeld, it may shape and bind this soulmold as a meldshaper level equal to its HD, it may use its essentia as normal to with this soulemeld. The Half Soul-fused Golem chooses the soulmeld when it gains access to its Golemaic weapon, and may not change it after this choice has been made. The only Chakra it may shape or bind this soulmeld to is its golem chakra. The Half Soul-fused Golem may ignore any alignment descriptors or requirements for the purposes of selecting the normal version may have.

Tin- The Half Tin Golem’s slam is replaced by an interchangeable weapon graft-grip, any weapon to be socketed into this graft-grip must first be specially fitted, which costs an additional 20 gold. The Half Tin Golem may only graft weapons with which it is proficient, or magical devices it is capable of using. This graft-grip replaces one hand, and the Tin golem gains a separate ‘hand’ graft that may be interchanged with any other weapon grafts it makes, while the ‘hand’ graft is socketed the Half Tin Golem gains access to its natural slam. Anyother socketed weapon can becomes a natural extension of the Half Tin Golem’s arm. Now that the weapon and Half Tin Golem are one, the Half Tin Golem gains a +1 competence bonus on all attack and damage rolls while using the weapon, this bonus increase by 1 for every 5HD the Half Tin Golem has. The grafted weapon is considered both a standard weapon and a natural weapon for the purpose of effects that distinguish between either weapon type. While anything but the ‘hand’ graft is socketed into the Half Tin Golem’s weapon graft-grip they lose the use of that hand and take a -2 penalty on all skill checks requiring the use of hands. Powers that temporarily polymorph the Half Tin Golem can ignore the grafted weapon or alter it normally, at the Half Tin Golem’s discretion. This weapon cannot be disarmed, but it can still be sundered.

Wax- The Half Wax Golem gains Improved Grab, allowing it to initiate a grapple on a successful slam attack without having to make a touch attack or provoke an attack of opportunity. On a successful grapple check, the Half Wax Golem deals constriction damage equal to its slam damage. Further if the Half Wax Golem pins its opponent, it may forgo its constriction damage in order to make a special face-stealing attack. The Half Wax Golem must choose to either assume the likeness of the creature it has pinned, or mar the appearance of the creature it has pinned. If it chooses to assume the likeness of the creature it has pinned the Half Wax Golem may, as a swift action, use its Disguise self spell like ability to assume the appearance of the creature it has pinned, in addition to the circumstance bonus this spell like ability grants, the Half Wax Golem gains a racial bonus equal to half its HD on this disguise check. If the Half Wax Golem decides to mar the appearance of the creature it has pinned, it expends one of its uses of Disguise self and the pinned creature must make a will save DC (10+1/2 HD+ The Half Wax Golem’s Charisma Modifier) or have their face and outstanding features warped, melded and reshaped, usually in a very messy manner. The target cannot be readily recognized visually or aurally unless the identifying party makes a DC (10+1/2 the Half Wax Golem’s HD +the Half Wax Golem’s Charisma Modifier) Spot check. This effect lasts for 1 hour per Half Wax Golem HD.

Wood- The Half Wood Golem gains the ability to temporarily increase its size at the cost of mobility. As a move action 1/day per 4 HD, the Half wood golem may put down roots into the floor around it, and increase its size, doubling its height, length and width and multiplying its weight by 8. This increase changes the Half Wood Golem’s size category to the next larger one, and grants a +2 size bonus to Strength and a -2 size penalty to Dexterity (to a minimum effective Dexterity score of 1) along with all the normal benefits and drawbacks of increasing in size category. If insufficient room is available for the desired growth, The Half Wood Golem attains the maximum possible size and can make a Strength check (using its increased Strength score) to burst any enclosures in the process. If it fails, the Half Wood Golem is constrained without harm by the materials enclosing it; the Half Wood Golem cannot crush itself to death by increasing its size. All of the Half Wood Golem’s equipment, worn or carried, is similarly expanded by this ability. Melee and projectile weapons deal more damage. Any affected item that leaves the Half Wood Golem’s possession (including a projectile or thrown weapon) instantly returns to its normal size. This means that thrown weapons deal their normal damage (projectiles deal damage based on the size of the weapon that fired them). Multiple effects that increase size do not stack. For every 6 HD the Half Wood golem has it may increase its size category by another step, increasing its size bonus to Strength by +2 and penalty to Dexterity by -2 for every size category it increases, and gaining all the benefits and drawbacks of the new size. While the Half Wood Golem increases its size it may not move from its rooted location, but neither may it be bull rushed, tripped, nor otherwise pushed from its location unless the earth or ground in a 10 foot radius around the Half Wood Golem is destroyed. This effect lasts until the Half Wood Golem willingly ends it, has insufficient ground to root itself in, or is knocked unconscious.

New Half Golems
Half Retrospect Golem

awesome! i am going to have to find a reason to throw one of these into the game i am DMing now.

i had not even considered half-golemizing other types of constructs, but it makes just as much sense. very cool project.

[AugustNights]

Half golems made of other contructs changes Treasure: None, into "Don't hurt it's left arm! I need a new one!"

I'm glad you like it.
Progress on the Half-Wrought Horror, shouldn't be too delayed.

[Samm]

I haven't read all of the weapons and so forth, but I can tell you that I really like the fluff and mechanics of it aren't too bad. They do seem a little too powerful though. I do like the way, most of these abilities scale with level, but I think that this ability is a little too good:

Improvement: At third level The Half-golem’s limb can be further reinforced by spending extra resources. The Half-golem can increase any single physical ability score by an additional +1 by paying 400GP, then 500 GP for another extra +1, and so on. It takes 1 day of work for every 100 GP cost to improve the limb. The Half-golem may not gain a number of improvements beyond its number of non Half-golem HD.

In theory one could gain a +17 to their stats by spending.... 20,400gp. That's pretty cheap, considering you're paying 36,000 for a +6 bonus to a stat with an item. You may wish to tone that down a little.

[Soulblazer87]

Agreed;it's too much. Maybe you should cap it at Con Modifier? Just so to display that you can't enhance something beyond its capabilities to withstand said enhancements.
