A little less than the half golem.

Now that looks nifty. You have a lot of experience with this, Nifft?

Not particularly with Golems, but I've done a lot of custom classes and templates for my campaign. Some people seem to think they're okay. :)

PS: My basis for assigning LA value for ability scores assumes that your PCs use 30-35 point buy, or another generous ability score system. The LAs are too low if ability scores are a scarse resource.
 


Hey Rhewtani, could you post the other half-brother concepts here, just out of curiosity.

BTW:
LA +2:

Str +4, Con +2
NA +4
Gain slam attacks as primary natural attack routine (1d8+Str/1d8+Str)
DR 2/-- (or DR 4/adamantine)
Fort +2, Will +2
Slow Slam 3/day

Why the Con increase?
I belive that at least there should be a -2 Dex, -2 Cha
I love the DR 4/adamantine
The part of war-ravaged would make the +2 Will, +2 Fort, make sense.

Because Golems (and other Constructs) gain bonus HP based on size, and this dude does not.

Also, mechanically, an LA cost makes you lose HP, and a Con bonus makes you gain HP, so it balances out.

Slow Slam (Su): As a standard action you may make a mighty magical strike, which (if it hits) deals 2d6 + 1.5 x Str damage. Additionally, your target must succeed on a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 your HD + Con bonus) or be slowed (as the spell) for 1d6 rounds.


What'dya think?
 



Sure

I did it by introducing the mothers, so ... here's what the PCs had to choose from.

I. Aislin

A druid in the woods bordering Cedric’s kingdom, Aislin found that her glen was being encroached upon by numerous foes. She appealed to Cedric, pleading for protection from the enemies that seemed to surround her. Aislin is impassive, almost stoic in appearance. She is mysterious and guarded.

II. Alastrina of Brecon

As a loyal friend and servant of the king, Alastrina would deny him nothing. She is reserved and mature. She is a regular fixture in the court of the king. She is not as flashy or ostentatious as some of the younger ladies at court, but it is obvious that the king does value her opinion. Brecon Castle is no more than a day’s ride from Cedric’s court.

III. Ciara

Wild and fiery, this enchantress guards her tower and the land surrounding it with careful ferocity. Ciara is a strong leader, who posses a clear vision of what she wants and will go to great lengths to attain that which she desires. She and Cedric first crossed paths when he attempted to annex her land. She graciously hosted him in her home until an agreement could be reached. Her land has never become part of Cedric’ cantrev.

IV. Dervilla the Potter

A humble potter in a distant town at far reaches of Cedric’s kingdom, Dervilla discovered an unconscious Cedric in a field north of her town. She cared for him in her meager hut. Her soft-spoken ways and quiet humility were unlike any woman Cedric had ever known, but when he was well enough to travel, he returned home.

V. Edanna of Cardiff

On Beltane in 1196, Cedric hosted a great festival for his entire court and several nobles from neighboring cantrevs. At the time Edanna was being courted by a knight well o:)n his way to great honor and glory, but she left the fete with Cedric. She is passionate and zealous about life, and lives it to the fullest. She laughs the loudest, cries the hardest and wants the finest of everything. Cardiff castle is a testimony to Edanna’s particular tastes, its beauty rivaling the even Cedric’s royal apartments.

VI. Keriam

Cedric met Keriam o:)ne stormy night when the two sought shelter in the same ruined fortress. She was alone and scared, having lost her family o:)nly days before in a mudslide. Cedric was drawn by her beauty and innocence. Keriam says very little, but her dark eyes and mischievous smile often disclose her feelings.

VII. Kethlia

An uneasy truce has always existed between the kingdom of Cedric and the nearby elves. When Kethlia came to the court of Cedric’s father to renegotiate the terms of the truce she was captivated by his vigor and passion. Kethlia is proud and confident. She is purposeful in both thought and word and not given to unnecessary chatter.

VIII. Lassehae

Lassehae watched as Cedric slew her most despised enemy. With o:)ne savage blow he cleaved the dark elf’s head in two. She was angry that this man had stolen her kill, but she was surprised to find herself so entranced by his blood-spattered form. Charismatic and seductive, Lassehae knew she would have this man.

IX. Lyonessa of Caerleon

Lyonessa is a part of the new nobility. Her father was a rich merchant, and she has gained position in court, not through right of blood but by gold. Caerleon castle, surrounded by open fertile plains, has never been attacked. She herself is very naïve, sweet and impetuous. She is the youngest of the “Mothers.” A strong, almost tangible sense of dislike exists between ‘Nessa and Ula, but no o:)ne speaks of why. While the birth of her son was considered scandalous at the time, Lyonessa has never been ashamed of her child. At the festival she proudly put her son forward as an heir to the Cedric.

X. Mahelidess

Mahelidess, like many of her kind has an uncanny fascination with the mortals who occasionally wander through the wood of Taverré. Upon discovering Cedric lost in her wood, Mahelidess decided that she would not, as she had been doing, lull him into a sleep and relieve him of his trinkets. Instead she charmed him and kept him. Mahelidess is easily amused, and takes great delight in the things she enjoys. But her delight can turn quickly to fierce wrath, as she is a bit emotionally trivial.

XI. Ula of Rhuddlan

Ula is a stalwart matron figure in Cedric’s court. Her husband, thirty years her elder, died this past winter. If he had not, he might have died of shock when it was discovered that while his son was Ula’s child, he was Cedric’s as well. The Rhuddlan family holds a strategic point in the coastal defense of the Cantrev. A testament to their brilliant tacticians and devotion to Scathach, Castle Rhuddlan has never fallen.

XII. ???

One man arrived without escort that caused almost as much of an uproar as Lassehae’s entrance. The man wore many battle scars, and his arms seemed to be crafted out of oversized armored plates. Many cowed from his approach while others hurled insults at him, deeming him more abomination than man. o:)nly the word of Cedric and the affirmation of the druids have allowed him to remain in the city.
