Why not a medium, sleek, wooden golem with spines, a cone head, and a wooden sigil? That's 2.25 days for the golem and another 1 for the sigil. It'll give the would-be assassins the worst splinters of their lives!

[GreatWyrmGold]

We can't ask our mentor to let us learn the other 3?

Because he's busy and we should be?

We're making a bodyguard, not an assassin.
Clay is faster and seems to give the golem more hit points. Why would we ever use wood if clay was available?

Actually, I think that wood might give a bonus to hit points. It would make sense since the only thing with a hit point modifier on it is clay, and the sigils have hit point bonuses on them for making them out of different materials. He might've forgotten to put the modifiers on for wood and sandstone under the body materials.

Notice, he put "*0.5 total time, *1 total HP" for clay, but just "*# total" for the others. My interpretation is that the "total" multiplier applies to HP and time to create.
Also, clay seems like it would be better at absorbing blows than wood would be.

Dry clay is brittle, wood bend a little with the blow.

Dried clay, yes. As long as it's not baked, though, it's still a bit malleable...and you can repair it more easily. Just pour a bit of water on the wound and reshape the clay.

Go get a clay(baked)bowl and a wood bowl, now drop them. Which one can you drink soup out of now?

Say the demon of disease.

Go get an unbaked clay bowl, which is the kind of clay I was talking about.

Oh, wow I forgot to mention this, yes, wood does have a little less HP than the other types, but it also isn't as receptive to damage. Clay takes a lot of extra damage from slashing weapons, but also reduces damage from blunt. (the clay is not baked, and stays in a malleable form)
Stone takes less damage from slashing, but extra damage from blunt weapons. (there's also piercing, but that doesn't do more or less on either)

One last thing, is that you always aren't going to have all of these materials, being that you aren't going to be carrying around a block of stone or clay the size of you. That's the basic gist of it, sorry for forgetting to say that.

[GreatWyrmGold]

So.

Wood does have less HP. (Told you so.)
Clay takes more damage from slashing weapons, but less from blunt and has more HP.
Stone takes more damage from blunt and less from slashing, in addition to having the same HP as clay.
Clay is the fastest of these to make, while stone is the slowest.

...I see why the Golem of Prague was made of clay, as will be ours.

*Ignore the more resistances in the first place part*

So can multiple materials be used like a framework or varnish?

No, he said we have to use 1.
