OK some context. My GM has given me a spirit of intellect that can level on its own. My character is an undead lord cleric. My GM has allowed the spirit to inhabit my skeletal companion and use the body with its levels (all fighter).
It has been adventuring with our group since the inception of the campaign and we just hit level 20. As you can imagine the spirit as a 20th level warrior has a bunch of feats etc. to leverage armor and weapons, which the skeleton has been wearing and using.
So, now I want to make him a golem. The spirit can inhabit the golem just like the skeleton, that is not the issue (i.e. similar effect to an awakened golem). I know that armor and weapons do not size when worn, but if I get him large sized weapons and armor for the body as appropriate could he use them?
Specifically:
- Would Magic armor improve the golem's armor class?
- Could the golem wear misc magic items and be able to wear them?
- Could he wear a ring and gain its effects and use it's powers (i.e. ring of elemental command)
- Can he wield a longsword as his primary weapon?
I cannot find anything in any book or post that covers this. I know that golems are immune to any spell that has SR, but armor and weapons are different effects. Misc magic items confer an effect, but it is not spell trigger or spell completion, so I think they would work (my opinion). Same with Rings.
If anyone has any rule reference on this it would be great. I just want to help my GM with some precedent either way when we discuss.
Thanks.
