But this presents certain problems. For example, the people who create golems aren't ecessary those who are the ones who should be directing them - you need those skilled mages producing more valuable magic items instead of doing overseer work at public construction sites and so on which pretty much anyone could do.So bloodstone bonds were created to "transfer" effective ownership of golems to other people. At the same time, you wanted to be able to transfer the "ownership" of the golem to other people if the first one dies (or goes off shift, for that matter) - and you also wanted some way of severing the bond if the controller goes on a rampage or something. Bloodstone bonds can do all those.And then some bright soul looked at these bloodstones, and had the bright idea... "Hey... I think we just invented theft protection for our most valuable pieces of equipment!" And the idea quickly caught on...And as for depriving the PCs of their loot... Well, if they want to get magic items, maybe they should do some honest work like looting ancient dungeons for a change instead of stealing public property off the bodies of hard-working guardsmen!   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
