Traits

Clumsy. The golem armor has disadvantage on all Dexterity saving throws, and other creatures have advantage on all attack rolls made against it.

Fiery Backlash. When a creature within 5 feet of the golem armor hits it with a melee attack, the attacker takes 11 (2d10) fire damage.

Illumination. The bull sheds bright light in a 60-foot radius and dim light for an additional 60 feet.

Inert. When not inhabited by a controller that can cast spells, the golem armor is an object. While its not an object, its CR is the same as the level or CR of its controller (minimum CR 12), and it has the same senses as its controller.

Siege Weapon. The golem armor deals double damage to objects and structures.

Spell-Powered. The golem armor uses the spell attack modifier of its controller for its attack rolls, written as +X, and it uses the spell save DC of its controller for its other abilities, written as DC XX. The golem armor uses its controller's mental ability scores as its own, and the controller can see through the golem armor's senses.

Actions

Smash. Melee Weapon Attack: +X to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit 24 (3d10 + 8) bludgeoning damage plus 22 (4d10) fire damage.

Breath Weapon. The golem armor exhales a blast of fire in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC XX Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 35 (10d6) fire damage. On a success, a creature takes half damage. The fire ignites objects in the area that aren't being worn or carried.

Description

Golem armors are special constructs designed to be controlled using magic by a humanoid pilot inside the armor itself. These creatures are usually conjured as part of the new golem armor spell, but permanent golem armors can also be made by through lengthy magical rituals. In some worlds, these giant armors serve as the vanguard of magical armies. In others, they are ancient weapons from a lost age that could turn the tide of many eternal conflicts. Most of them are thirty feet tall, but the ancients tell of armors that could touch the clouds.

Operated By Magic. Golem armors are designed to be operated by magic. An empty armor can be commanded by a spellcaster to open the hidden door in its chest and kneel to allow entry. Once inside, the mage stays in a shielded core, protected from the heat, cold, lightning, or other threats posed by the golem. The controller (sometimes called a pilot) can use any talent for magic they might possess to control the armor. As examples, a wizard would use their intellect, a druid or cleric would use their spirit, and not only sorcerers but even tieflings or anyone else with natural magic could use that same talent to control the armor.
