Description:
Golems are magically created automatons of great power. Constructing one involves the employment of mighty magic and elemental forces. The animating force for a golem is a spirit from the Elemental Plane of Earth. The process of creating the golem binds the unwilling spirit to the artificial body and subjects it to the will of the golem's creator.A clay golem has a humanoid body made from clay and stands about 18 inches taller than a normal human. It weighs around 600 lbs. The golem's features are grossly distorted from the human norm. Its chest is overly large, with arms attached by thick knots of muscle at the shoulder, hanging down to its knees, and ending in short, stubby fingers. It has no neck and the large head has broad, flat, features. Its legs are short and bowed, with wide, flat, feet. A clay golem wears no clothing except for a metal or stiff leather garment around its hips. It smells faintly of clay. The golem cannot speak or make any vocal noise. It walks and moves with a slow, clumsy gait. They are immune to all slashing and piercing weapons (even magic ones).
