Prator_the_Legendary 04-12-07, 08:39 PM	Well, if you've awakened it, presumably it gains a class too, right? What are the class skills for the class it gains? And if a class isn't apparent, then go with whatever class skills a Warrior gets. That's a good catch-all for monsters...

RavinRay 04-13-07, 01:04 AM	Does the spell specifically state that awakened contructs become living constructs? If so, I think you can look to Eberron's warforged and other lc's as guidelines.
noctivagus 04-13-07, 08:09 AM	It does indeed again feats and skill points, but it does not seem there are any hard rules as to what skills become class skills. Generally, when making a monster, it's a good rule of thumb to make whatever skills the monster has it's class skills; though it's really hard to say what kind of skills are appropriate for a golem. Concentration and intimidate both make some sense, but it's a tough call for anything else.
