Any time the PC uses a golem
ability, you should make a powers
check for that character. The base

keeps alive for a brief while longer the

is still in charge, tell the character he
feels angry, moody, and hurt over
minor incidents that would normally
not bother him at all.
Balanced: At this point, the PC is
truly caught up in the struggle to
control his personality. No matter what
the PC's original alignment was, it now
becomes chaotic due to the PC's inner
