How big are golems? I just had a weaponsmith create an artifact orichalcum two-handed sword, is a golem big enough to use it effectively? Is orichalcum a good edged-weapon metal?

maybe you can mouseover them in therapist, if they are listed in therapist... it shows the size when you mouseover the name of a guy.
i think 80000 is one size limit where smaller people multigrasp i.e. a axe instead of holding it in one hand above 80000. but not 100% sure on this one.
i would guess a golem is bigger than a human so it probably can equip everything. (just guessing)

They are bigger than dwarves, they can use dwarven weapons with no problem.

Yup, listed in Therapist, size is 90,000, thanks Nelia Hawk. DFHack's "more information" function shows the orichalcum two handed sword as having 10,000 sharpness, 100% of iron. So, not as good as steel? But it's an artifact, giving it an x3 "to-hit" modifier. Required size is 60,000 and "use as two handed until unit size" is 77,500, so this would be one handed for the golem? Sounds like a pretty good weapon for her! Too bad he's been training with a hammer. Golems seem to learn weapon skills pretty quick, though.
