Become a Master of Animated Matter!
Are you tired of unpredictable allies and fickle summoned creatures? Do you crave steadfast obedience and formidable strength by your side? Then embrace the path of The Golem Master!
A Golem Master is a unique artisan and arcanist, specializing in the creation and control of constructs. You are an architect of animated matter, breathing life into inanimate materials through intricate crafting, arcane inscription, and sheer force of will.
In a world of unpredictable magic, place your trust in the unwavering loyalty and formidable power of your artificial companions. Your workshop is a hub of arcane energy, filled with the constant hum of creation. Delve into ancient knowledge, or pursue the desire for perfect obedience – whatever drives you, your strength is amplified by the golems you command.
Embrace the unique dynamic of having powerful, obedient companions. Your golems are your strength, your tools, and in their own way, your allies.
As a Golem Master, you will:
- Craft Your Own Golem Companion: Start your journey at 1st level with the ability to craft a loyal Medium Earthen Golem. Rebuild your companion if it's destroyed.
- Form a Powerful Golem Bond: Your bonded golem grows with you, gaining your proficiency bonus to its AC, attack rolls, damage rolls, and saving throws and skills it's proficient in. Its hit points increase with your level. You can even channel touch spells through your golem.
- Command Your Creations: Mentally direct your bonded golem as a bonus action, deciding its actions and movement.
- Infuse Arcane Power: Grant your golem enhanced speed, hardened plating, or empowered strikes after a long rest.
- Master Different Materials: At higher levels, unlock the secrets to crafting golems from Stone, Iron, Clay, Flesh, and even Adamantine or Mithral, each with unique stats and traits.
- Control Multiple Golems: As you advance, command more golems simultaneously, becoming a formidable force.
- Create Larger Constructs: Craft and bond with Large, Huge, and even Gargantuan golems.
- Achieve Perfected Command: Command your golems at greater distances and allow them to make attacks when you take the Attack action.
- Become a Master Architect: At 20th level, temporarily empower your golems with advantage on attack rolls, doubled speed, and temporary hit points.
Choose Your Archetype:
- Architect of War: Focus on combat-optimized golems, enhancing their destructive capabilities and tactical coordination.
- Master of Flesh: Delve into animating organic matter, creating golems with unique biological capabilities.
- Elemental Binder: Infuse your golems with raw elemental power, allowing them to channel destructive forces.
Explore themes of creation, control, trust, and the relationship between life and artifice. How do you view your creations? Are they tools or something more? Do you embrace their obedience or wonder about their potential for free will?
