golem

---

Magnetized clay is knit together by circuitry that traces colossal and familiar features: [Body]. A bright mixture of primordial soup and [Catalyst] courses through their glass arteries, and in its soft light their posture evokes the presence of [Atzmus] Diamondlike metachrome limbs are sculpted in the way of [Armament], and in the position of prominence on their body, they bear the sacred amulet of [Hamsa].

Perfect

The Golem is a being crafted from a Mound of scrap and clay by Pax Klanq. Its appearance, skills, attributes, and abilities are determined by the components that the player provides for its creation during the quest The Golem.

The Golem is considered colossal and so can only be equipped with gigantic weapons and armor (except for the Floating Nearby slot.)

The Golem, when unpiloted, will act as a companion to the player. In this situation, it will act at 50% quickness.

The Golem, as a Vehicle, will always have room within its body for the player and one companion. The player can pilot the Golem by sitting in the Pilot seat. When piloted, the player has access to a modified form of the standard menus which cover the golem's equipment, the golem's stats and mutations, the golem's skills, the golem's inventory, and so on, as if you were the golem. This means you can spend gained stats, MP, and skill points. Piloted Golems also have access to the abilities 'Recoil to the Court of the Sultans', 'Exit Pilot Seat' and 'Eject'. It also always has access to Sprint and will eliminate all Mental Shield parts. It starts at level 50, with 500 base HP, and has Night Vision.

In cases where the inherited type does not provide a stat distribution, it will also start with an even, weak, and randomized, stat distribution (set at 14+1d3+10d1 for all stats). Similarly, a golem's DV is the DV of its base type, or 0.

A golem's AV is the AV of its base type + 10. All Golems have an innate 1.75x their normally calculated Strength, and 1.5x their normally calculated Toughness.

Body

Pax Klanq

---

Body of creature friend to form Creature after. Must follow you and be experience. No worry, friend not consumed in creation.

The player must provide a follower at or above level 30 to determine the shape and body plan of the Golem. The follower is not consumed by the process and will remain in the player's party after being chosen. Followers that are recruited via Proselytize, Beguile, or Rebuke Robot, will count as long as they meet the level requirement.

Bodies take on some of the inheritable attributes of their Creature type, along with an appropriate (but not necessarily the same!) anatomy. Additionally, some have innate mutations, or modifications to base stats, beyond their Body or Creature base. These are covered in the 'Notes' column.

Catalyst

Pax Klanq

---

Three dram of pure liquid to catalyze soup and circulate nutrient. Liquid choice alter sanguine mixture, change Creature.

The player must provide three drams of an undiluted Liquid to act as the Golem's blood. The player's choice of catalyst can alter the Golem's abilities, resistances, immunities, damage output, and base stats.

Atzmus

Pax Klanq

---

Atzmus transcendental imprint of being. Pattern trait after creature part, crossed with Body.

The player must provide a body part of any kind. It can be sourced from a plant, animal, or robot creature. The type of part does not effect the Golem (Head, Face, Hands, etc), only the being it was sourced from.

Mutations

If an Atzmus is sourced from a creature with viable Mutations, the Golem can gain one of those mutations. This includes Bilge Sphincter, Chimera, and Crystallinity.

Night Vision, as well as the NPC mutations Dark Vision, Wall Climber, Metamorphosis, and Invisibility are excluded from being acquired via the Atzmus. (The Golem has Night Vision by default.)

Armament

Pax Klanq

---

Zetachrome weapon. Attune Creature to the martial art and shape metachrome fist-types in the fashion after.

A zetachrome weapon must be provided to arm the Golem. The weapon type will shape the creature's natural weapons, as well as grant them the full skill tree associated with said weapon.

At a high level, the golem will get natural weapons in every slot whose type matches a slot with a natural weapon on the follower or, if none exist, the first default on the golem body or, if none exist, the primary limb type of the golem body, or if none of those exist, the primary limb of the follower. For example, Bears that have two claws and a bite will end up with a Bear Golem that has a Face Metachrome weapon and four Foot Metachrome weapons.

The above paragraph means that if a follower does not have any natural weapons, AND does not have a reasonable primary limb set by default, they may end up with fewer Metachrome weapons than they could have if they picked a different primary attack limb. For example, a Decarbonizer comes into existence with their Body as their primary limb, and no natural weapons, and that determines which of their limbs becomes Metachrome. If, instead, you use some method to change their primary limb to their arms, then they will get the same 2 Metachrome limbs that other more normal turrets get.

The various names/types of metachrome weapons are defined in the table below. 'Open' is the term to refer to a metachrome weapon that does not match any of the other types in the table below.

Weapon Type	Skill Tree	Open Limb	Hand	Face	Head	Foot	Arm	Body	Tail
Zetachrome battle axe	Axe	\metachrome axe	metachrome spade	\metachrome trines	\metachrome ridge	metachrome spade	\metachrome ridges	metachrome bands	ridged metachrome tail
Zetachrome dagger	Short Blade	\metachrome dagger	metachrome point	\metachrome fangs	\metachrome horn	metachrome point	metachrome thorns	pointed metachrome bands	pointed metachrome tail
Zetachrome halberd	Axe	\metachrome axe	metachrome spade	\metachrome trines	\metachrome ridge	metachrome spade	\metachrome ridges	ridged metachrome bands	ridged metachrome tail
Zetachrome hammer	Cudgel	\metachrome cudgel	metachrome mitt	\metachrome molars	\metachrome bulb	\metachrome corm	\metachrome discs	metachrome bands	metachrome tail
Zetachrome long sword	Long Blade	\metachrome long blade	metachrome blade	\metachrome tusks	\metachrome prow	metachrome blade	\metachrome scales	bladed metachrome bands	bladed metachrome tail
Two-handed zetachrome long sword	Long Blade	\metachrome long blade	metachrome blade	\metachrome tusks	\metachrome prow	metachrome blade	\metachrome scales	bladed metachrome bands	bladed metachrome tail
Zetachrome warhammer	Cudgel	\metachrome cudgel	metachrome mitt	\metachrome molars	\metachrome bulb	\metachrome corm	\metachrome discs	metachrome bands	metachrome tail

Notes: Arrows are not a valid zetachrome weapon. Psionic weapons are valid as long as they are zetachrome.

The created natural weapons are Metachrome (4 PV base, cap of 1000) and Gigantic.

Tips

This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.

• While Golems generally have respectable statlines, Golems' derived defensive stats are often unbearably low due to the difficulty gearing them. without some thought and preparation it will feel like playing a very underlevel character that gets hit by multiple penetrations.
• A reliable source of gigantic equipment for the Golem is Hamilcrab, cyclopean merchant; especially good items may even influence the choice of the body.
• The golem is in a strange state between being a Mutant and not being a Mutant. An organic form counts as a mutant when using Eaters' nectar injectors give random stats or MP.
  • Note that Golems with a body based on a robot follower will be Robotic, and therefore unable to use tonics.
  • Even using a True Kin body, like Saad Amus, the Sky-Bear does not make the Golem able to install cybernetics beyond its Hamsa.
  • However, drinking warm static only shuffles skills and not mutations, as if the Golem were a True Kin (likely due to failing an IsMutant check. )
• Many kinds of Golems will require levelling weak members of their classes up to 30 to use them.
  • Giving books of varying sorts to the Librarian of the Stilt tends to be very useful for getting past the early levels.
• Several kinds of Golems are difficult to get followers near enough to the pile to select.
  • Anything that does not move on its own is difficult, and you'll often have to think about it. A generally effective method is to use a recoiler set on top of the Pile while the follower is set to follow.
• It is possible to prevent the use of the normal staircase Barathrum's Study by using the Chrome key as a Hamsa. It is advisable to use a security card or Bethesda Susa key if one desires a Phasing Golem, lest you have to use the northwest staircase and dig into the study, or use a spiral borer to create a new staircase.
• While you are piloting the golem, it needs to drink (like most bodies.) While it is following you, it doesn't (like most followers).
• Due to the way that metachrome limbs are assigned, there is a trick that can enable some body shapes to get extra metachrome limbs: A method of gaining extra limbs with natural weapons on the follower which match a slot type on the resultant Golem body, where normally that creature has other natural weapons that are included in the resultant Golem Body, makes both the extra limbs type and the normal natural weapon limbs end up with metachrome weapons. The easiest example is to use circle of light in the chord of Agolgot to give a stone wall follower pincers (hand slot natural weapons), and then create a Golem with that follower. The Golem will naturally get the two stud slots as metachrome weapons, and also the small crack slots as metachrome weapons because of the pincers matching the type of the small cracks (hand).
  • This trick appears to backfire with Girsh Qon as the source for a Golem Oddity, as it will reduce its normal 3 slots to just the singular hand. Qon spawns with 'shave flaps' in its back slot, but equipping the agolgot chord makes the flaps vanish.
  • As noted above, a follower with no natural weapons will use its assigned primary limb for attack as the limb type for metachrome limb assignment. Using this trick, due to providing natural weapons on the body, overrides the primary limb being set.

Trivia

• It was briefly impossible to create a Tree Golem, as using a Tree follower to fulfill the Body requirement resulted in a Golem Oddity. This was a bug and has since been patched.
• Rhinox and Crypt ferret were Grazer Golems for a while, but are Oddity Golems now
• Mechanical Root Cherubs and Root Cherubs were Root Golems for a while, but are Bush Golems now
