Cuz, as a golem, a Fleash golem has a Soul (bound from the elemental plane of Earth, most commonly)...

But, if they have a soul, somthing that is able to think, why don't they have INT in that case?

03-01-05, 05:01 PM Technically the difference is that the zombies dont get the bolts in the neck and are animated by dirty necromantic vibes instead of pure 20.000 V of electrical energy.
Golems dont have souls, either. They have an "animating spirit", and in extreme cases (you dont happen to know the old D&D module "Earthshaker"?) a few dozen :)

The flesh golem is just an old classic monster, and since you can make golems out of any material, why not keep him?

03-01-05, 05:27 PM the main difference between a a flesh golem and an undead automaton such as a zombie in both game terms and in practical terms is that the undead creature is powered by negative energy, while the golem is not. neither creature has a soul.
