Some golem questions


Rules Questions


in the abundance of free time i was thinking about golems and other uses for them. Honestly a lot of them are cheesy but interesting to me.

dose a golems shape always have to be humanoid? to my memory all in the bestiary are all human shape.

if they can be any shape can they be headless with space for storage.

if that is a fact, couldn't a golem be hollowed out in the top allowing for pc to ride in them? a make shift iron man suit of some kind,

of course i think the shield guardian template would make it more viable, allowing it to be voice commanded.

this just train of thought and not to be taken too seriously.

of course if this kick started any body gears i would love to hear if it practical or not.

maybe the simple idea is to animate a large suit of armor for a half-ling to ride in, modified of course.


They don't have to be humanoid in shape. That is just the most common form.

I guess they could be hollowed out, but it would be up to the GM. 3rd edition even had golems that acted as armor similar to an iron man suit without the energy blast of course. :)


that is interesting, i run a half-ling cleric and i wanted a armored mount for him. that's pretty much were this came from.

could u imagine healing from in side with channels and having a full list of make whole spells to keep your mobile armor in the battle.

i just thought it be neat and fun idea.

oh and t remembered reading some were in 3rd thats there was an alternate to iron golem u were a suit and controlled it like a puppet few hundred yards away is that what your referring to?

You'll definitely want to check out the "Mastering Magic" chapter in Ultimate Magic. They have a lot of new material for customizing constructs, and I think the "Construct Armor" mod would be of particular interest to you ;]
