Craft Golem

[b8620271]

Hi All,

starting from level 15 I'll take craft construct and want to create a golem. It can be priced about 70% of the WBL for the appropriate level and I plan to be able to update it up to level 18.

At level 15 I was thinking to create a Huge Advanced Clay Golem Shield Guardian with 6 additional HDs, fly movement of 25ft., couple of runes of shielding and weps mods for elven curve blade and composite longbow.

I was also thinking to start at level 15 with a base Noqual Golem and then update it, but then the impeded magic ability is really painful in dungeons, considering I'm not the only caster in the party.

So you have any other suggestion for a golem to be used between levels 15 and 18?

How do you craft the templates?

Building a golem with the advanced simple template increases its cost by 15,000 gp.

Soulbound Shell + HD Modification + Enlightened Construct [template]... just need to kill a level 12 Wizard first...

That gives you a medium-sized, intelligent construct with 21HD, 10 feats, and 6th-level spells...

A soulbound shell is constructed from marble, a 5,000 gp gem for the soul focus, and the soul of a willing spellcaster of at least 12th level who dies at the culmination of the creation process and animates the stone shell.

"Willing" is subjective... charm/dominate someone to sign a waiver...

[b8620271]

I could argue that a creature under charm/dominate is not a willing creature, and as per the spell "Obviously self-destructive orders are not carried out."

Sign a waiver to your life seems an obviously self-destructive order.

Visit the local prison, find someone condemned to die for their crimes against humanity, and convince them to donate their body to science... you guys act like you've never had to con people out of their souls before.

So far I'm thinking to create a Huge Advanced Clay Golem Shield Guardian Fiend-Infused Commndo with 7 additional HDs, fly movement of 25ft., couple of runes of shielding and weps mods for elven curve blade and composite longbow.

I have 10 feats from Fiend-Infused and 6 Combat feats from Commando, and I selected the below:

Blind-Fight
Combat Reflexes
Cornugon Smash
Dazzling Display*
Disheartening Display*
Dreadful Carnage*
Furious Focus*
Hurtful
Improved Initiative
Intimidating Prowess
Persuasive
Power Attack
Shatter Defense*
Skill Focus Intimidate
Toughness
Weapon Focus

Alternatively I could change the feats with (*) with the below:

Dirty Fightning
Fury's Fall
Greater Trip
Improved Critical
Improved Trip

As Commando special attacks:

Brutal Attacks
Extra Attack
Retaliatory Strike

What do you think?
