Golem

Golem

The golem activated by this spell must be man-shaped and approximately man-sized, although it can be as short as 3 feet or as tall as 7 feet. The priest must first personally construct the golem's body, then place a prayer spell upon the construction to prepare it.

These magical constructs are collectively known as least golems. They have no minds, so spells such as charm, fear, hold, sleep, and the like have no effect on them. The construct has the saving throws of a priest of the creator's level. A least golem cannot speak, but can comprehend and carry out simple instructions involving no more than a dozen words. The material used and the level of the creator determines the type of golem.

The golem can be destroyed in combat. A successful dispel magic spell cast directly against one will deactivate it. A damaged golem can be repaired by any spell that repairs or restores objects, at the rate of 1 hit point per spell level.

At 9th or higher level, the priest can create a straw golem.

At 11th or higher level, the priest can create a rope golem.

At 13th or higher level, the priest can create a leather golem.

At 15th or higher level, the priest can create a wood golem.

A permanency spell used in the creation process makes the golem immune to dispel magic. The golem remains active until it is destroyed.
