[QUOTE="dante58701, post: 2893172, member: 40336"] Alright, alright...Ill post my stuff up at umbrasa for those who want to see it. I can understand how it could get clustering on just one thread. But Krusty is right...just because an idea is off the wall and wont work for you....doesnt mean you need to get nasty. I tend to think that people who degenerate into nastiness are simply that....degenerate and nasty. Nothing personal...just some friendly advice for the future...follow krusty's advice and try a little more consideration for other people's feelings. Good advice we should all follow. As a sidenote...it was an orichalcum warrior not a golem Id created. It was actually just an extrapolation of the mineral warrior template from the "Underdark" book. Merely a logical conclusion. If mineral warriors can exist, then why not orichalcum warriors or, god forbid, neutronium warriors. Not everything must coincide with your idealized concept of what a campaign world should be.
