To decipher and use the manual, you must be a spellcaster, have proficiency in the Arcana skill, and have proficiency in either Alchemist's Supplies or Herbalism Kits. ___ To create a corpse golem, you must spend 8 hours, working without interruption with the manual at hand. You must also pay 20,000 gp 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, it becomes animate and is under your control. It understands and obeys your spoken commands. ### </div> ___ ___ > ## Corpse Golem >*Medium Construct, Typically Lawful Neutral* > ___ > - **Armor Class** 14 (Breastplate) > - **Hit Points** 32 (5d8 + 10) > - **Speed** 30 ft. >___ >|STR|DEX|CON|INT|WIS|CHA| >|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| >|15 (+2)|11 (+0)|14 (+2)|10 (+0)|10 (+0)|10 (+0)| >___ > - **Damage Immunities** Poison > - **Condition Immunities** Charmed, Exhaustion, Frightened, Paralyzed, Poisoned, Unconscious > - **Senses** Passive Perception 10 > - **Languages** Understands the languages of its creator but can't speak > - **Challenge** 1 (200 XP) **Proficiency Bonus** +2 > ___ > ***Defy Death.*** If damage reduces the golem to 0 hit points, it must make a Constitution saving throw with a DC of 5 + the damage taken, unless the damage is from a magic weapon or a critical hit.

This tiny spark of life has no memory, personality, or history, but it animates and maintains the body. The process binds the spirit to the body and subjects it to the will of the golem’s creator, who can direct it with verbal commands.
