* While you are piloting the golem, it needs to drink (like most bodies.) While it is following you, it doesn't (like most followers). | * 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 {{favilink|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). | * 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.

** 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. | ** 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. | ** 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.
