Ah. Right.

We'd need more info on the enchanting process though. I mean, you have blacksmithing and enchanting, so I can only assume you can Make magic items from scratch.
I doubt my character could actually lift a hammer.
Best case scenario, we could both throw magic at whatever you're making.

Also, there's a decent chance I'll die early on, considering my min/max. So you don't want to go without an enchanter because the main one croaked.

If you were a golem, you'd probably be a suit of armour.

You wouldn't be healed by life magic at all, and in fact would need to get repaired by blacksmithing.

What you would be would be a large, spongy rock, warm to the touch, placed inside the helmet of a suit of armour. To change armour would require some soul magic. Too much damage to the suit would disrupt the spell and thus destroy you. The concentrated souls would be a beacon for daemon-thralls and other nasties.

Hey, I tried to go for the Golem angle - Yiddish name and so on... Earthborn kinda fits the Golem stereotype.

(Also, the name in the OP is still the old one...)

Yeah, but I sort of wanted more of the construct side. I was originally considering trying to mount cannon or siege weapons on the character.

Well i do have blacksmithing if you need patching up. And just enough enchanting to not mess it up if it is already enchanted.

And there's chaos when push comes to shove, but it's music to my ears.

No wait that's stupid.

I've got blacksmithing as well, truth be told.

I think 7 players is plenty enough to start with.

All depends on Remuthra at this point. I'm afraid I don't think I can make a golem in the traditional sense work in the lore of the world.

If you want something else, you need to pm me, Remuth. I'm sure I can work out some way to add you once it's started.

Well if Remuthra goes a shade, then that would be sneaky.
Not sure if the cannon accommodates that either, though.

"To be a loose soul is a terrible thing. Without eyes to see, ears to hear, a tongue to speak, they are trapped, mute, blind, deaf, in total darkness. They have no feelings of warmth, or even of cold. A wretched existence: seconds become centuries. Little wonder most disintegrate without seconds of death. A mercy, really, that they do not have to suffer the chains of consciousness."

That sums up my thoughts of ghosts in this world. Souls some kind of shell - whether that's a body (living or dead), an enchanted suit of armour, or a effigy stone - to protect them against the maddening sensation-less that is existence without a shell.

Unfortunately, I'd decided on this before the suggestions, so while I could change the lore, I'd prefer it all to fit together. :/

The nameless shade lich, scourge of the world and destroyer of the lantern itself, reached an insubstantial fist to the sky and began its daemonic dirge. The mystic and forbidden chant went as follows:

Damn you established canon! DAMN YOUUUUUUU!!!


Alright, alchemist anti-wizardist away!

Yup, the whole mode of attack is "a single bolt out of the darkness". Taking stuff instead of killing someone is not a terrible stretch.

So yeah, sneakygolem. Not exactly traditional, I know~
