The Golemancer

Arcane Tradition Option

Creating large, and often destructive creatures that can pound their creators (and they often do) into a brown pudding has a long and studied tradition amongst the arcane arts. And few among this collection of remarkable creatures stands out more smashingly than the golem, an usually ill-tempered creature of inanimate material brought to life. The Golemancer has decidedly taken up this grand tradition amongst the arts, and the good news is that at least half of them survive to write about it! (We think. It's hard to keep track of the numbers when it's all just a pile of goo).

Crafter

When you enter this specialization, you gain proficiency in artisan's tools (tinker's tools). If you are already proficient in that tool, you instead gain proficiency in an artisan's tool of your choice.

You also learn to speak and read in one of the following languages: Dwarven, Gnomish, or Primordial.

Golem Friend

You've learned how to construct a golem. With 1 week of work and the expenditure of 100 gp worth of rare and exotic materials, you construct a golem to serve as your loyal companion. You may select your golem's type from among the following: Clay, Iron, or Jade, all of which are described at the end of this section. Your DM may allow you to craft a golem of a different variety, if doing so would be more logically pertinent.

At the end of the week, your golem awakens and gains all the benefits of your Golem Friend ability. You can only have one active golem at a time (they get horribly possessive) If your golem is ever slain, the magical bond you share allows you to return it to life. With 8 hours of work and the expenditure of 25 gp worth of materials, you patch up your golems body and restore it's soul. You can only return a golem to life in this manner if you posses at least a portion of it's body.

If you use this ability to create a new golem while you have a current golem active, you must either choose to get rid of the new golem (perhaps by selling it) or the current golem leaves you (they get very jealous) and is replaced by the new companion.
