Flesh to Wood?


Advice


Is there a flesh to wood spell? And if so would the product of these spells be suitable to create a wood golem and how "realistic" would the golem appear?

Silver Crusade

Closest match to that is be a tree from the third party product 101 6th Level Spells.

It would be....rather horrifying to use that wood to make a golem since the trees it makes are still alive and aware(and capable of screaming :O).

You might want to check with your GM to see if you could research a lower level (and thus non-combat) version of that spell.

There's also a Wood Oracle revelation with that exact effect.

I personally houserule that flesh to stone allows you to turn someone into any common, sturdy inanimate substance, but stone to flesh allows you undo it.


You could work with your GM as Mikaze suggested to research an alternate form of Flesh to Stone if they are not down with a house rule like Cyrad's (ftr, I do a similar deal where the caster chooses the rigid inanimate material their Flesh to Stone spell will emulate when they acquire the spell since a simple material shift doesn't really warrant a whole round of spell design, to me. I don't allow precious gem stone or gold, etc.).

As far as turning the resulting statue into the parts for a golem? That certainly sounds awesome, but again it's probably more of a case-by-case or table-by-table thing. You could cast Animate Objects on the statue, and then Permanency it. Turning the thing into a golem doesn't really seem too far off the road at this juncture in terms of concepts vs rules. Though, it may be kind of cheesy to get around the gp cost of building the body through zapping some poor sap into statue form...but that's really between a GM and a golem constructor, or for the GM to do behind the scenes with an NPC ;-) I'd probably throw a special non-raw condition on a flesh to (whatever) constructed golem that a stone to flesh spell cast on it would turn it into a Flesh or Carrion Golem (and do away with the transmuted critter in the process).


Thanks, that gives me a good few options to proceed with and Animate objects does seem a more... economic alternative. An oracle would be perfect and potentially even more creepy.


Houserule Flesh to Stone to be wood instead.
Use Wood Shape to make it as real as you want, or not.

My wife can cast that spell on me as an at will ability.

How enchanting.

Its transmuation really.

I remember flesh to salt got a lot of flak for being a low level flesh to stone. Saying flesh to stone can do any mundane object doesn't sound too bad, so long as people's first reactions aren't to grab the torches.

Would that be a EX or SU ability?
