I could sware that in an older issue (a year or so ago) of either Dragon or Dungeon there was an article on crafting limbs for characters (who have had theirs severed and lost), it even referenced a paticular character form a campaign setting or had a character as an example. I also thought that it might have been in my DL Campaign Setting Book. Either way, I cannot find it.
Could some one please help.
What I vaugley remember was that it had some special properties. But I cannot remember any detail.
Could you be thinking of ENP 3008: Steam & Steel? I know there is some crunchy stuff in there on prostheses. You could also adopt some of the info on this WotC download.
Theros Iron...something. That is the DL character that lost his arm to hobgoblins and had a prosthetic one crafted from quicksilver, gained from Silver Dragon Mountain (correct me if place name is wrong- I used to be a huge DL fan and knew a ton of their cannon, but lost touch with the series a few year ago).There was never any explanation given in-book about this.
On an odd and only barely-related side-note, pg. 24 of the BoED shows what seems to be an elf or half-elf riding a silver dragon with a clearly mechanical arm.
in one of the books, MM2 i beleive, it has a large section on half-golems. Replace human limbs with golem limbs, and you've got a half-golem. Of course, it sometimes drives them insane and they go evil. I recall a very nice NPC epic level half-golem human monk with an iron golem arm. His punches blow clean through walls with ease.
thanx everyone.
I could still swear that I saw something some where that showed how it could be done in game terms.
I am aware of the MM2 half-golem, but that wasn't it.
I'd make a human character with a peg leg have a 15 ft. movement (cut it in half) and take a -2 permanent dex penalty.

It was Theros Ironfeld I believe. But you got the rest of it right enough.
