10.6. GOLEMS CHAPTER 10. G
• Edges: Berserk, Improved Arcane Resistance
• Special Abilities:
– Armor +2: Formed from solid clay.
– Construct: +2 to recover from being Shaken; no additional damage
from called shots; constructs do not suffer from poison or
disease.
– Fearless: Clay golems feel no fear.
– Punch: Str damage. Clay golems are incapable of using weapons,
relying solely on their massive clublike fists and smothering attack.
– Size +2
– Sluggish: Clay golems move at Pace 6, but cannot run. When
drawing for initiative, they take two cards and act on the worst
of the two.
– Smother: If the clay golem gets a raise on its Fighting roll, the
target must make an immediate opposed Strength roll against
the golem. If the golem wins, it has grabbed the victim by the
back of the head and shoved their head into it’s body. The victim
will have to make an opposed Strength roll to escape; they’ll also
have to begin making Vigor rolls each round or suffer the effects
of Drowning (see SW:EX page 104). If the golem hasn’t been
directly commanded to kill the victim, it will release them as soon
as they become Incapacitated.
– Weakness (Mark of Creation): Clay golems are given life by the
magical rune carved into their foreheads. If this mark is removed
or altered, the golem collapses, lifeless. Removing the head isn’t
sufficient; the body will continue to function normally even if the
golem is decapitated. An attack directed specifically at the mark
(-6 to Fighting or Shooting rolls) which gets at least a Shaken
result is damaging enough to sully the mark and stop the golem
(don’t take in account Armor and Size of golem, so Toughness is
7).
10.6.5. Flesh Golem (WC)
These unfortunate creatures are usually created by Weird Scientists. They’re
stitched together from the corpses of murderers executed for their crimes,
and unlike other golems it is believed that the flesh carries with it an
equally piecemeal soul. Some flesh golems have been able to break the
bonds of servitude that go with their creation, though these rogues rarely
live long when left to their own devices.
