Then I stumbled upon the rules for making flesh golems, something I could easily do. However, I'm finding myself in a bit of trouble. How to sneak the monstrosity under the zelot Paladin's nose... Any suggestions? I've also been toying with the idea of raising a few undead and maybe starting up my own little minion party. ~Jerek the Cleric

If you have to send it to clean out some bandits or something then "lose" it into your other hideaway. 5 get an item that hides your alignment and set up two personalities and be the parties own big bad. 6 I suggest something like a permanent illusion over something the golem has on, to make it look like something else.

If he rules that creating and using the flesh Golem is evil, make sure to balance that out by doing Good things to keep your neutral alignment (keeping in mind the effects from lying and decieving your Paladin). Otherwise, Mist of shadows hit the spot.

If you do, then the creation of a fleshgolem will only aid you in the quest for greater good... If the paladin cares more about honors and such than greater good, then he is plain lawful rather than good... If he is: tell him to defeat both you AND your golem if he want's it away :P
