Converting "generic setting" Second Edition monsters

Geez, why don't more constructs have that? Let's use fabricate. I think I'd prefer to leave the regular version just with limited wish and bull's strength, but I won't mind if you insist on fabricate there too.

I'd like to give them both fabricate, since it can distinguish them from "non-clockwork" golems. If you don't want to have three spells for the regular version, we could give it the 6th level spell mass bull's strength instead of bull's strength.

Fabricate for both is ok. You mean Mass Bull's Strength to replace both Bull's Strength and Limited Wish? That's ok I guess.

Yes. fabricate and mass bull's strength for the regular version, fabricate and bull's strength for the lesser version.
 



Sounds good!

So...

Construction
Building a clockwork warrior golem requires 10,000 pounds of high quality metals worked into intricate shapes, plus forging equipment, fuel and other tools. These materials are used to create the golem's body, plus the external power-supply and winding-sprocket that gives the golem motive force, and have a total cost of at least 15,000 gold pieces. Assembling these components requires a DC 25 Craft (armorsmithing) check and a DC 30 Craft (trapmaking) check.

Additional winding-sprockets (200 gp) and power-supplies (4000 gp) can be constructed. If such backup power systems are created at the same time as the clockwork warrior golem itself, no additional skill checks are required. Creating backup systems at a later date requires a DC 15 Craft (trapmaking) check and DC 15 Craft (trapmaking) check.

CL 13th; Craft Construct, mass bull's strength, fabricate, caster must be at least 13th level; Price 75,000 gp; Cost 45,000 gp + 2,400 XP.

Lesser Clockwork Warrior
A lesser clockwork warrior golem requires 1000 pounds of metal plus other materials costing at least 2000 gold pieces. Assembly requires a DC 20 Craft (armorsmithing) check and a DC 25 Craft (trapmaking) check. Additional winding sprockets cost 200 gold pieces each and additional power-supplies 500 gold pieces each.

Both standard clockwork warriors and lesser clockwork warriors use the same winding-sprocket, so a lesser clockwork golem can be wound by a standard clockwork warrior's power-supply, although a lesser warrior's power supply is too weak to wind a standard clockwork warrior golems.

CL 13th; Craft Construct, bull's strength, fabricate, caster must be at least 13th level; Price 18,000 gp; Cost 10,000 gp + 640 XP.

...If the above costs and DCs look OK to you I can plug it straight into the Working Draft, although we were talking about lowering the CL for the lesser version.
 




Anyone want to handle description and flavor?

Combat: Clockwork warrior golems are programmed to defend one location, typically near their power supply. They attack intruders viciously, but it is difficult to draw them away.

Should we put in more conditions about how to draw them out?
