Magebane Golem

For some mages, the protection offered by animated armours, or even helmed horrors is not enough. Empowering a large construct with both the magic required to animate it and the antimagic protections that enable it to easily cut down opponent casters is no easy feat. The result is a strategic, calculating and highly resistant creature that has the tools and knowledge to pose a serious threat to even powerful wizards.

Magical Purpose. While a magebane golem is at least as cunning and tactical as a helmed horror, it has a more singular purpose. As long as it can detect enemy casters, it will close with them and strike them down, working its way from strongest to weakest.

Mystical Defences. A magebane golem is empowered with the required means to fight the reality warping magics of powerful wizards. The detailed and powerful construction is unstable and when the golem is destroyed, violent energies are released.

Tactical Commander. Often a magebane golem will be empowered to command lesser constructs, and has both the insight and command to create fortifications, martial formations and employ deep strategy.

Constructed Nature. A magebane golem doesn't require air, food, drink, or sleep.
