Category:Gargoyle Golem

This type of Dread Golem takes the form of a stone gargoyle carving.

They were first created for Vlad Drakov.

Construction

A gargoyle golem’s body is carved from a single slab of granite weighing at least 2,000 pounds. The golem costs 75,000 gp to create, including 1,000 gp for the body and 15,000 for special vestments, which can be reused. Assembling the body requires two months and a successful Craft (sculpting) or Craft (stonemasonry) check (DC 17). The creator must be 16th level and able to cast divine spells. Completing the ritual drains 1,200 XP from the creator and requires holy word (or blasphemy), prayer, stone shape, and flesh to stone (which must be supplied by an arcane spellcaster).
