#2 daidojitaidoru Mar 26, 2009 13:15:35	They haven't given the rituals and construction info because they don't want PCs using the ritual. WotC doesn't like the idea of crafting new party members.

Level: The golem’s level or higher Category: Creation Time: 1 hour; see text Duration: Permanent Component Cost: 5,000 gp per level of the golem Market Price: 150,000 gp Key Skill: Arcana This ritual animates the body of a golem. The ritual can be performed only after the golem’s body is crafted—a process taking 1 day per level of the golem. The actual ritual takes 1 hour to perform. At the end of the ritual, the golem awakens and begins following its creator’s commands. I am glad I copied those rituals that weren't rituals that appeared on the Compendium all those months ago.

I think a quest for one if the PC really want it, with the DM playing the golem as an NPC would work better than any clunky rule set. Especially if its only to act as a guard dog.
#10 Xaielao2 Mar 26, 2009 16:42:46	If you want to find a ritual to create a house guardian golem, thats a prime example of something your DM should dream up, and create an adventure to obtain the ritual as well as the ingredients.

It's ritual is actually the same as the Golem, just the Market Price is now 5000.
#12 undrave Mar 26, 2009 17:34:58	5000 is ridiculous for low level PC. Getting someone to lend you one as a quest reward would be the easiest way.
