Manual of Golems (Revised)
Wonderous Item, Very Rare
This tome contains information and incantations necessary to make a particular type of golem. To decipher and use the manual, you must be a spellcaster, have proficiency in the Arcana skill, and have proficiency in the appropriate tool.
| Golem | Tool | Time | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manual of Clay Golems | Potter's Tools | 30 days | 65,000 gp |
| Manual of Flesh Golems | Leatherworker's Tools | 60 days | 50,000 gp |
| Manual of Iron Golems | Smith's Tools | 120 days | 100,000 gp |
| Manual of Stone Golems | Mason's Tools | 90 days | 80,000 gp |
To create a golem, you must spend the time shown on the table, working without interruption with the manual at hand and resting no more than 8 hours per day. You must also pay the specified cost to purchase supplies.
Multiple creatures can combine their efforts. A collaborating creature need only meet one of the requirements to decipher and use the manual, though collectively all must be met to complete the golem. Doing so does not reduce the time needed to create the golem
Once you finish creating the golem, the book is consumed in eldritch flames. The golem becomes animate when the ashes of the manual are sprinkled on it. It is under your control, and it understands and obeys your spoken commands.
A Manual of Golems can be duplicated by a creature proficient in the Arcana skill. The process takes 8 workweeks and costs 15,000 gp.
