The pilot must be a  willing intelligent being who is either a blood relative of the  spellcaster or someone who has been ritually adopted into the  spellcaster's clan. The type of juggernaut you can animate is based on  your caster level, as shown on the table below.[TABLE="class: cms_table, width: 420"][TR][TD]Caster LevelNo level requirement9th or higher9th or higher11th or higher[/TD][TD]Juggernaut Type<a href="https://www.enworld.org/index.php?posts/6908127/" target="_blank">wooden</a> juggernaut<a href="https://www.enworld.org/index.php?posts/7269098/" target="_blank">winged</a> juggernaut<a href="https://www.enworld.org/index.php?posts/7149683/" target="_blank">wicker</a> juggernaut*<a href="https://www.enworld.org/index.php?posts/7008804/" target="_blank">stone</a> juggernaut[/TD][/TR][/TABLE]*A wicker juggernaut produced by create guardian does not have fire  resistance. 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 ring of energy  resistance (fire) placed in one of its "ring finger" spiritual equipment slots.A create guardian spell requires considerable preparation (see  components for additional details). The totem must be constructed in  advance, which takes months of labour. A ceremonial tent must be  erected. Wooden replicas of any magical items the juggernaut is intended  to use are carved and the pilot must place them in the spiritual  equipment slots of the totem.The spellcaster can then start casting create guardian. The pilot  ritually adorns themselves with the magical items for the juggernaut.  They then remove the wooden replicas from the totem's spiritual  equipment slots and replace them with the real items. The pilot, now  adorned with the replica equipment, then enters the ceremonial tent and  the priest completes the spellcasting by tracing a 10 foot diameter  circle – the circle of control – around the pilot inside the tent.  During the casting process, the caster must stay within range of all the  components and targets of the create guardian spell.After casting is completed, the totem animates as a guardian juggernaut  of the appropriate type under control of the pilot.  The juggernaut is  able to use any magical equipment in its spiritual equipment slots at  the direction of the pilot.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. If the pilot is incapacitated or killed  the juggernaut continues to be animated but becomes inactive, since it  only moves when its pilot acts. The juggernaut also becomes inactive if  the pilot leaves the circle of control within the tent since this breaks the pilot's connection with the juggernaut. The pilot cannot resume control by reentering the circle of control. Recasting create guardian  will "reset" the remaining duration of the spell to 24 hours and also  allows the caster to reassign the pilot – either appointing an entirely  new pilot or reconnecting a pilot who's connection to the juggernaut was  broken. Material Component: A totem built in the form of a guardian   juggernaut. The construction cost is 500 gp for a wooden or wicker   juggernaut's totem, 1,000 gp for a stone or winged juggernaut's totem.   The totem must be hand built by members of the caster's clan, a process   that takes 3 months. If anyone who is not a member of the caster's clan works on the totem it cannot be animated by a create guardian   spell. A clan may only have one totem prepared at a time. If they  craft  another totem when another totem is already prepared the old  totem  becomes ineligible for the create guardian spell once the new totem is finished.Unlike normal material components, the totem is not destroyed when the create guardian spell is cast. When the spell's 24 hour duration expires the totem remains in existence but can no longer be animated by a create guardian spell. Expired totems are traditionally set up for display by the clans that produced them.Focus: A ceremonial tent 10 feet across. Made out of fine fabrics it costs 500 gp.Replica Equipment: These are wooden copies of items used with the  juggernaut's spiritual equipment ability (see the guardian juggernaut  template for details). These items must be carved out of wood by the  pilot or a clan relative of theirs, a process that takes 1 day per  replica item but does not require any Skill checks (the degree of  workmanship of the replica being irrelevant to the spiritual  connection). A wooden replica weighs the same as the items it's a copy  of and has a negligible cost. Replica equipment items  are effectively  focus components for the create guardian spell, the spell does not consume them and the replicas can be reused.</blockquote>
