Alloy Golem
A Homebrew DnD 5e Race
The Workers in Armor
The Alloy Golems have been around for as long as anyone can remember. The peculiar thing is, no one really remembers any. These gallant and imposing figures are always around, though many do not even pay attention to them. Quite understandably so, as these Golems do not tend to stand out amongst the crowd. They are made by some old Wizard or Artificer or any of the sort to help with their work, but after their creators pass, what is left for them?
Quiet Servitude
The Alloy Golem tends to be quiet, reserved, and overall solemn, as if constantly on vigil. That does not mean they cannot speak, but usually their actions are a stand-in for their words. They tend to be fiercely loyal to those who respect it and are kind to it, to the point where it may even ask a creature or group of creatures to form a pact of becoming it's new master(s)/mistress(es). This pact is sacred to the Alloy Golem. If you are offered this pact, that means you have the chance to form an unbreakable bond. One that may even transcend time and realms.
A Valiant Figure
Alloy Golems resemble a knight in full bodied armor. Unlike it's Warforged counterparts, Alloy Golems tend to be more knightly, but at the same time not as built for battle. Instead, Alloy Golems are more tailored for helping, at the most being made to guard wherever they are needed. Moreover, each Alloy Golem, as the name suggests, are made of different types of Alloyed Metals. Each Metal gives a specific benefit to the Golem, for what they are needed for the most.
