[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 7468400, member: 57383"] Updating [B][URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?p=7423944#post7423944"]Create Guardian Spell Working Draft[/URL][/B]. Well I quite like it. How's this: *A wicker juggernaut created by this spell does not have the fire resistance spell-like ability of the normal version. The construct's own burning body will quickly reduce it to ashes unless it is given fire resistance by some additional means, such as having a [I]ring of energy resistance (fire)[/I] placed in one of its "ring finger" equipment slots. That all sounds good to me. If we go for the "extend duration by recasting" we'll need to remove the "24 hour" from the Material Components "When the spell's 24 hour duration expires". I don't have a draft prepared, but I've got time to whip one up… A guardian juggernaut created by this spell remains animated until it is destroyed or the spell's duration runs out. The pilot can direct the juggernaut as long as the juggernaut is on the same plane and the pilot remains within the control tent.

I think that covers the "Control Stuff" and "Juggernaut Stuff", so we've only got the "Replica Equipment" to finish off. Incidentally, I'm not that fond of the name "Replica" since it's not really a copy of the item, more a stand-in for it. I'd think something like "substitute" or "proxy" would be more fitting.
