Consult the relevant entries in Creatures & Monsters
for Undead statistics and abilities. For Spirits,
please roll on the table below to determine their level.
If an Undead possesses an artificial entity, it will almost
certainly use its new body to kill as many living beings
and creatures as possible. It will inhabit the entity for
as long as possible and will be able to manifest all its
normal powers (Constitution draining, spells, etc.)
while resident in the artificial body. Physical attacks,
even with magical weapons, will harm the Golem or
Construct, not the Undead. Repel Undead spells will
affect the Undead – however the Undead will flee in its
artificial body. If expelled using a Purge Golem # or
Purge Construct # spell, the Undead being will reform
outside the entity and attack the caster normally, if
possible.
If instead a Spirit possesses a Golem or Construct,
the behavior will depend on the type of Spirit. Angry
Spirits will immediately attack the living, while Haunts
will try to use the entity to exact their revenge on
whoever wronged them. Elemental and Emotive Spirits
will toy with the entity’s abilities, possibly endangering
it or bringing it into conflict with the living.
Rational and Standard Spirits will be curious about the
entity and its surroundings – they are likely to go
exploring in their artificial bodies. Entity Spirits will
make themselves “at home” and seek out the entity’s
creator, either to “volunteer” their services or to harm
him, if he has mistreated the Entity Spirit or others in
the past.
Angry Spirits and Haunts will inhabit entities until
they are forcibly expelled. Elemental, Emotive, Rational
and Standard Spirits will depart of their own
volition, once they have finished indulging their curiosity
or they have accumulated taint exceeding half
their level through interaction with
the physical world. An Entity Spirit
will only leave an artificial body, if
the body is badly damaged or destroyed
or the Spirit is expelled or it
locates a more powerful Golem or
Construct that it can possess.
Some creators, who cannot obtain
animating spirits by other
means, deliberately leave their entities
unprotected. As soon as possession
by a desired Spirit occurs, they
trap the unwary Spirit with Compel
Spirit spells and then permanently
imbed it. Once the Spirit is under the
restraint of magical compulsion, a
Glyph of Control can be safely added
to ensure permanent compliance.
Nevertheless, this is a risky strata-
