[QUOTE="koesherbacon, post: 6177057, member: 78297"] What about this situation... A Construct/Golem's creator is deceased and the actual Construct/Golem has been defeated. Could a caster with the Craft Construct feat and a sufficiently high Craft (Sculpture or other appropriate craft skill) or Spellcraft skill take the defeated creature and use it as a base an create their own golem that way? The reason I ask is that one of my PCs who is playing a Universalist Wizard wishes to be a Golem-Master, who already has the necessary feats. Since creating Golems costs a ton and requires many days - if not months - to create, I want to give him one as a reward instead of giving him other types of magical items as a reward. If there's no rules for the above example, would there be any reason why I couldn't create a homebrew feat that would allow such a situation to take place? Say the feat is as follows: [LIST] [*][I]Name[/I]: [B]Reanimate Construct[/B] [I](Item Creation)[/I] [*][I]Prerequisites[/I]: [B]Caster level 5th, Craft Magic Arms and Armor, Craft Wondrous Item, Craft Construct.[/B] [*][I]Benefit[/I]: By spending one day for each 5,000 gp in its market price , the caster can reanimate an intact and "deactivated" construct as though it was created by the caster herself following the rules for "Craft Construct". After the reanimation is complete, the construct obeys the orders of the caster as though the caster was the original creator. The cost to reanimate a "deactivated" construct is 1/5th the original value since it is implied that the construct now has the broken condition, but is is otherwise salvageable. [/LIST] Since the construct is already created, and probably sustained some damage, it will only take 1/5th the amount of time and cost 1/5th the original price to reanimate as the original would have. Personally, I do not see any problem with that idea, but want to know what others think as well. Thanks very much! [/QUOTE]
