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

No, a golem can be only one material. For the explanation, refer to the post that explains what Golem means in Faestal.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Wood does have less HP. (Told you so.)

*Ignore the more resistances in the first place part*

Huh? Are you refering to it not being as receptive to damage, because that's pretty darn vague...

[exolyx]

I'll just give  bit of information to clear that up, clay would take, say, 2 extra damage to an iron short sword, and 1 less from a hammer. Stone would take 2 extra damage from a hammer, and 1 less from a short sword. While wood would take no extra damage, and reduce no damage.

Damage bonuses change as the golem gets larger/when the opponents its facing get stronger. (so, it gets scaled, as the damage isn't a flat out "oh, 2 less or 2 more" thing, its a % more that I happen to be unable to find in my swathes of MSword documents where I store my everything ever.)

MSword, that sounds like a pretty cool weapon, how do we get it?

Ah. So, in theory, just about every kind of material is the same, except that wood has an HP penalty and the differential times to create?
Clay. Clay all the way.

MicroSoft word.

Deliberate misunderstanding, had to make some sort of bad pun.

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.

Agreed. Clay all the way.

Until we get a forge of course.

And knowledge of how to use it. And metal. And fuel. And time.
But yes.

[Xantalos]

What GWG said. Clay golem and all that.

[exolyx]

Sorry if I'm just being unperceptive, but was a consensus reached? I didn't really notice if there was.

[Remuthra]

Clay, bulky, spiral head, 2 graspers, 2 spines, medium size.

[miauw62]

And just 2 spines if we can't have 4 arms.

[Aseaheru]

im jumping in for a bit.
hello.

i think the main thing the ambassador would be threatened by is ranged weapons.
also, clay golems (or mud) are normally described as wet, and dry out in high heat.

i vote

Clay, bulky, spiral head, 2 graspers, 2 spines, medium size.

[kaian-a-coel]

consensus reached!
