Clay Golem

A golem built from 200 lbs. of clay for every foot of height, up to a maximum of 8 ft. It takes 6 weeks to make, plus a week for every 2 ft. above 6 ft. It can take 6 points of damage per foot of height, has armor equal to leather, attacks as a 10th level monster and does 3d8 points of damage per hit. Only spells that affect earth can harm it.

Golems are huge, statue-like humanoids of inorganic material, given a basic life by alchemy or magic: an alchemist mixes a fluid ounce of Aqua Vitae into the materials, while a spell caster must cast Animate Object every day of the work. The chance of success is 65%, rising to 90% with the paid help of an engineer, sculptor or scholar, who also halves the time; an alchemist working with a wizard, sorcerer or magician likewise halves it. All golems are immune to non-magical weapons, poison and magical control, have Speed 8, and strike once per round with +1 damage per foot of height. They cannot think for themselves: they either follow up to three simple programmed commands or obey their master when he or she is present.
