	The '''skeletal golem''' is a [[magic\|magical]] [[animation\|animated]] [[construct]] and as such lacks the [[dread golem]] template. It is a [[mindless]] automaton that obeys in the most straightforward way possible the orders of its [[Crafter\|maker]], drawing no conclusions and taking no initiative. The creature will not resort spontaneously to special actions such as [[tripping]] or [[disarming]], but it may either be given a specific instruction to make one such attack or may be directed as necessary by a maker who is immediately at hand. When issuing instructions to the [[animate]] [[item\|thing]], its maker is wise to error on the side of simplicity. The large creature is constructed out of the [[bones]] of medium or large creatures, is [[humanoid]] in shape, and is readily enough distinguishable from a [[skeleton]] by virtue possessing four [[arm\|arms]]. When inactive there are grounds for suspecting that it more than mere [[bone\|bones]]. The bones retain a skeletal form, they may bear the weight of armour, and the each skeletal [[hand]] may be clenched about a weapon. The skeletal golem was introduced into the [[Land of Mists]] from [[Mystara]] by [[Meredoth]]. He is not the creature's [[inventor]], although he did undertake ground-breaking [[research]] in his youth into a variant of the thing. Knowledge of the existence of the creature has leaked out gradually and the creature may be encountered elsewhere than [[Todstein]].

	A bone golem is constructed from the [[bones\|bone]] of not less than four medium or large sentient creatures. The successful maker of a bone golem is usually an [[arcane spellcaster]] of at least the 8th level. He or she pours 18,000 gp (or its equivalent) into bringing his or her idea to "[[construction\|life]]". Of this total, 200 gp are spent on special bindings and substances for the lashing together of the bones and the preparation of the whole, which together require a successful [[Rope Use]] check (DC 15). The ultimate animation of the thing requires 712 XP from the caster and the casting of the following spells: [[animate dead]], [[geas/quest]], [[limited wish]] and [[stoneskin]].
