clay golems

Clay golems are among the most popular fighting golems. They are strong as flesh golems, but noticeably faster, and more importantly, less horrifying. Creation of clay golems is rarely more restricted or taboo than magic in general. The main limitation on creating clay golems is their high cost.   A wide variety of different religious, magical, or government factions regularly deploy clay golems or at least have dormant clay golems in reserve.   For the RPG mechanics of creating clay golems, check out Clay Golems by the Numbers
