Its body is as thickly   proportioned as a dwarf, but at least twice as tall. A constant  humming  and clicking like countless gears and levers sounds from its body. Clockwork warrior golems are mechanical constructs that resemble iron   golems, but are much more complex and less powerful. The construct   consists of an ornate suit or black iron armor, inside which is the   golem's clockwork of wonderfully crafted gears, cogs and levers. Some  finely crafted clockwork warrior golems have clockwork parts made of  precious metal, but this is not a requirement of their design. A clockwork warrior golem is powered by its clockwork. Normally this is   wound by an external power source, but the construct can disengage   itself from its power-supply and operate for a few rounds before its   clockwork's springs winds down. These creatures are mindless constructs,  following  their programmed instructions without questions or  imagination. Clockwork warriors are normally programmed to defend a  location,  usually the entrance to a sensitive area. Their guard post is  always  fitted with a power-supply.  A clockwork warrior golem is 10 feet tall and weighs about 5,000 pounds. It cannot speak or make any vocal noise. COMBAT A clockwork warrior fights in whatever manner it was programmed to. It usually moves towards the nearest aggressor and punches with its iron  fists until it or its opponents are destroyed. The golem will  normally stay as  close to its power-supply as possible, although it may  have instructions  (such as to pursue robbers) that overrule its basic  programming to keep  itself powered.      Clockwork Powered (Ex): Most of the time, a clockwork warrior golem is powered via a  winding-sprocket set in the wall or floor which fits into the golem's  back, chest, or one of its feet. Winding-sprockets are driven by some  kind of magical or mechanical engine, usually a waterwheel. A winding sprocket has AC 7, hardness 15 and 30 hit points, it can be broken with a DC 30 Str check. A clockwork warrior golem can function continuously as long as it is  powered by a winding  sprocket. If a clockwork golem moves out of a  square containing a winding-socket it must disconnect itself from its  power source and switch to internal springs for power. These springs  only hold enough energy for a short period of activity. A clockwork  warrior golem will grow slower and weaker as its springs wind down, as  indicated in the following table:  Rounds of spring-powered activity01-10 rounds - Moves and fights normally.11-20 rounds - Cannot run, -4 Strength penalty.21-30 rounds - Single action only, -12 Strength penalty.31-40 rounds - Speed reduced to 5 ft., -20 Strength penalty.41+ rounds - Helpless and immobile. A clockwork warrior golem can rewind its springs by reconnecting itself    to a winding-sprocket. Engaging with the winding-sprocket usually  completely recharges the clockwork warrior in one round, but the rate  may vary   depending on the power-supply.It is possible to rewind a clockwork golem using a giant key, but this requires enormous strength (DC 30 Strength check for 1 round's worth of winding). A creature with a Strength of 30 or more can "take 20" to rewind the clockwork at the rate of 1 round duration per 2 minutes of rewinding.Galvanized Movement (Ex): If a clockwork golem takes electricity  damage  it must succeed on a Fortitude save (DC 15 or the DC of the  attack) or  be forced to move its base speed in a random  direction at  the start of its next turn. This movement is a move action  by the  golem, so it cannot take a full round action (such as charging or  a  full attack) in a round it performs galvanized movement. Reroll the  direction of the galvanic movement if it would enter an  obvious hazard  such as a pit or pool of acid. The construct's  programming causes it to  avoid spaces it registers as unsafe. The  construct may move through  areas threatened by attacks of opportunities  or traps that are not  included in its programming.  Reflexive Sunder (Ex): The armor plates and  gears that make up a clockwork warrior constantly shift and  rotate  around each other in combat, creating a grinding sound like  scores of  millstones crushing gravel. Anyone who strikes the warrior with a melee  weapon must succeed at a DC 17 Reflex save or the armor plates crush the  weapon for 2d8+8  points of damage; if it is a natural weapon, the  attacker takes the  damage instead. The save DC is Dexterity-based.Repaired by Fire (Ex): If a clockwork warrior golem is hit by an attack that deals fire damage (whether magical or mundane) it heals 1 point of damage for every 4 points of fire damage the attack would normally deal.ConstructionBuilding 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 GolemA lesser clockwork warrior golem is 4 feet tall and weighs about 300 pounds.COMBATClockwork Powered (Ex): A lesser clockwork warrior's clockwork  loses power much more rapidly than a standard clockwork warrior, as  shown in the table below. Its internal springs are much smaller and  weaker, rewinding a lesser clockwork golem with a key requires a DC24  Strength check.  Rounds of spring-powered activity 01-03 rounds - Moves and fights normally.04-06 rounds - Cannot run, -2 Strength penalty. 07-09 rounds - Single action only, -4 Strength penalty. 10-12 rounds - Speed reduced to 5 ft., -8 Strength penalty. 13+ rounds - Helpless and immobile.Reflexive Sunder (Ex): DC 11, 1d6+2 damage. ConstructionA 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. A lesser warrior's power  supply can rewind a standard clockwork warrior golem at the rate of 1  round of rewinding for 1 round of spring-powered activity. CL 9th; Craft Construct, bull's strength, fabricate, caster must be  at least 9th level; Price 18,000 gp; Cost 10,000 gp + 640 XP.</blockquote>
