Golem / Golems (Golden)

Golems are powerful arcane constructs with immense physical and magical power. Golden Golems are made of iron with gold plating, giving them a golden luster and glow. They are typically made to serve in temples, grand halls and palaces where their plating would fit in with the décor. They typically serve their creators without question but can occasionally lose their sanity or sense of duty after many centuries of service. 

Golems are stiff and exact in all of their movements. They move with brutal and lumbering efficiency and never hold back when they strike, as they are devoid of mercy. Golems typically have a list of Commandments written within them. These commandments make up their internal laws and logic that they must follow. A golem will do anything to achieve its commandments, even upon pain of disassembly or death.

Golems have little in the way of tactics. They move swiftly to achieve their goals and destroy anything that attempts to impede them. They are not malicious or vindictive, they seek only to accomplish their commandments as swiftly and efficiently as possible.

Destroying the Scroll or Etched Commandments within the Golem’s casing will kill it instantly, reducing to 0 HP and causing it to auto fail 3 Death Saving Throws.

Golems can be dispelled by particularly powerful magic since they are an Arcane Construct.
