Golem Do What?

(1/4) > >>

Pathos:
What's one of those things that dwarves have been making since the birth of DnD? (Or at least powerful wizards have, but I consider these to be more dwarven robots.)Golems! Those wonderful creatures that understand basic commands!A couple of mechanisms, and a masterwork statue, and voilá! A hauler that you don't need to feed or do anything else with! Or a soldier that can stay on duty FOREVER. However, there should be some drawbacks with them. Although I have no idea what they could be.

Lightning4:
Obviously, their magic should backfire and make the golem into a berserk killing machine!

BurnedToast:
if the creator goes berzerk, he should order the golem to go berzerk too. the golem should sometimes explode in a wave of deadly shrapnel when destroyed - good if it was in the middle of goblins, bad if it was in the middle of a child's party.particularly stupid (poorly crafted?) golems should sometimes smash through doors instead of opening them.They can be disabled with an EMP (elven magical pulse) leaving them useless till they are repaired. while deactivated they act as a statue - blocking movement in that square.

Sergius:
A dwarf robot would be either a "construct" or an "automaton" or somesuch. Golems are kinda specifically magically animated statues, and historically (in myth of course), animated by prayer and stuff.

Tamren:
Fruitcate golems.
