This type of Dread Golem, made of gears and other mechanical parts, was first created by Easan the Mad.
Construction
As described in the Monster Manual, a golem’s creator must first supply the golem’s body and a specially prepared workroom. If the creator uses magic to grant life to her creation, then the standard creation process applies. Golems of obsession do not cost exorbitant sums or require untold magics to construct, however. The creator of a dread golem must personally construct the golem’s body (requiring specific skills), and expend the requisite costs in gold pieces (body only), XP and time. The creator need not cast any spells or possess any craft item feats. A golem created through this method automatically gains the “dread golem” template. (see Chapter Five of the Ravenloft core book).
A mechanical golem’s body is created from thousands of intricate metal parts. The golem costs 125,000 gp, including 30,000 for the golem and 60,000 for a special, highly advanced workshop (CL 8+), which can be reused. Assembling the body requires 10 months and a successful Craft (clockmaking) check (DC 30). Completing the construction drains 1,400 XP from the creator and requires animate objects, chain lightning, fabricate, grease, and either miracle or wish.
