Attack Types and Offensive Bonuses<br />

Humanoid Golems attack their opponents in two<br />

ways: either by pummeling their foes with their fists or<br />

grappling their opponents followed by a devastating<br />

crushing squeeze. Such golems receive three distinct<br />

attacks with separate Offensive Bonuses as their default.<br />

The size of each of these attacks defaults to the<br />

Golem’s Size, e.g. Large Golems do Large Bash, Large<br />

Grapple, and Large Crush attacks, except for Tiny<br />

Golems which do Small attacks but resolve any critical<br />

results on the Tiny Critical Strike Table.<br />

Note: Creators can raise the attack size at a cost of +1<br />

creation level per size increment.<br />

The basic Offensive Bonus for all three attacks is<br />

given below – note that certain materials will alter the<br />

base OBs as detailed in Table 6.2. Creators can adjust<br />

the base OB upwards or downwards at a cost of +1 or<br />

–1 creation level per OB modifier. Each OB is adjusted<br />

separately. The value of the OB modifier varies according<br />

to size of the golem – this is because a little extra<br />

precision equates to a much more telling blow from a<br />

larger entity owing to its greater momentum.<br />

TABLE 6.15 HUMANOID GOLEM OBS<br />

Golem Size Base OB OB Modifier<br />

Tiny 20 +/-5<br />

Small 40 +/-5<br />

Medium 80 +/-10<br />

Large 120 +/-15<br />

Huge 160 +/-20<br />

Example: The alchemist’s Clay Goblin Golem is a<br />

Tiny Creature with Small Bash, Small Grapple and<br />

Small Crush attacks. The base OB for all three<br />

attacks is 20. Unfortunately the Golem’s clay nature<br />

imposes a –20 penalty on its Bash and Crush attacks,<br />

and a –10 penalty on its Grapple attack. Thus its OBs<br />

are +0 Small Bash, +10 Small Grapple, and +0<br />

Small Crush. The alchemist decides to reduce the<br />

Golem’s Grapple attack to 0, reducing the creation<br />

level from 11 to 9.<br />

Example: The Brass Golem has no bonuses or penalties<br />

to its attacks from being made of brass. Its base<br />

OB is 80 for its Bash, Grapple, and Crush attacks.<br />

The magician chooses to raise its Medium Bash<br />

attack from 80 to 100, increasing the Golem’s level to<br />

11. The actual encounter level for the Brass Golem is<br />

11/4 (for Medium Size) = 2.75, rounded up to 3.<br />
