[QUOTE="Ancalagon, post: 7798857, member: 23"] OOC: a bit more than a regular scholar would just because they are quite common in the yellow city, ie you picked things up just by osmosis. Lesser golems, made of flesh, wood or clay, are often use for labor or general security. They sometimes go bezerk in combat so they aren't quite reliable for that - if a fight is expected, the Houses will use something else. Greater Golems, nearly impervious to magic and physically powerful, are the "nuclear weapons" of the Noble houses, even a lesser one will have one or two stone golems at the ready to start wrecking things if a dire situation came up. They are usually made of stone or metal. Only Noble Houses are allowed to have them in the Yellow City - in the rest of Yoon Suin such restrictions do not apply. But only the Yellow City would field over a hundred(!) Greater Golems if needed. It's one of the reason no one goes to war with the Yellow City - do you want to fight 100 Golems backed up by thousands of mages? I didn't think so. Then there are the "experimental" golems - golems made of other materials. Their powers are not well known and kept secret by their owners, and are a bit of a wild card. The House of Brass, for example, owns a sea water golem. How powerful is it? No one has dared find out. Lastly there are clockwork golems, lesser ones that are pretty fragile, and battle-ready greater clockwork golems, that are powered by an implanted soul. (see illustration) THIS golem... well it doesn't fit. It's clearly not a clockwork golem. You would say it's a Greater Golem being made of some metal, but it's much too small for that (it's a little bit taller than 6 feet, not the 9-12 feet you expect) (again, illustration is [I]not[/I] the golem knocking at the door) [ATTACH type="full"]113611[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
