[QUOTE="Krishnath, post: 72480, member: 56"] [b]I Think I've Figured It out!!!![/b] [color=lightblue]The gold cost for the four basic golems are: Flesh Golem = 1000 gp * hp, (round up to nearest 10000 gp) Clay Golem = 1000 gp * hp, (round up to nearest 10000 gp) Stone Golem = 1000 gp * hp, (round up to nearest 10000 gp) Iron Golem = 1000 gp * hp, (round up to nearest 10000 gp) which indicates that the total gold cost of creating a golem equals, the golems total hp x 1000gp rounded up to the nearest 10000 gp. Now, the Flesh Golem has 49 hp, 49*1000 = 49000 rounded up becomes 50000 gp. for the clay golem, it's: 60 hh, 60*1000 = 60000 gp, no need to round it up, for Stone it's: 77*1000 = 77000, rounded up to 80000 gp, Iron = 99 hp, 99*1000 = 99000, rounded up to 100000 gp The total Xp cost equals the cost in Gp/50, the same as with most other magical items. Flesh = 50000/50 = 1000 Xp Clay = 60000/50 = 1200 Xp Stone = 80000/50 = 1600 Xp Iron = 100000/50 = 2000 Xp Now, the tricky part, calculating the body cost. For Flesh golems, the cost of the body equals 1% of the total cost or 500 gp, I would suggest that this ratio should be the same for all organically based golems, such as bone and wood. For Clay it equals 2,5% of the total cost, 1500 gp, this ratio should be the same for all golems, made from a mutable non-organic medium such as clay or dirt. For stone golems, the body cost equals 1,25% of the total cost, or 1000 gp, the same ratio could be used with other golems, made from a hard non-metallic mineral, such as jade, marble, or obsidian. Iron golems are not one of the most expensive types of golems to create, with the body cost only being 1,5% of total cost. This should be the same for all golems made mostly from metal or metal alloys, such as Brass, Copper, Gold, Silver, or Mithril. I will check the gemstone golems later, but this should be a start ;)[/color] [/QUOTE]
