Stone Golem Traits

The various pros and cons of a Golem

Ability Score Increase

Your Constitution score increases by 2, and one other ability score of your choice increases by 1.

Age

Golems neither physically age nor mature; they are as they have been created, but mentally they can be infantile or a few centuries old.

Alignment

Most golems are lawful, created to stoutly uphold societal order. They tend toward good as well with a strong sense of loyalty and a belief in the benefits of a just order.

Size

Golems stand between 8 and 9 feet tall and can weigh 675 to 890 pounds. Your size is Medium.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 25 feet. Your speed is not reduced by wearing heavy armor. Because you are made of stone you have no swimming speed but instead are able to walk under water at the same speed as walking.

Creature Type

You are a Construct

Stone Resilience

You have remarkable fortitude, represented by the following benefits:

  • You have advantage on saving throws against being poisoned, and you have resistance to poison damage.
  • You don’t need to eat, drink, or breathe.
  • You are immune to disease.
  • You don't need to sleep, and magic can't put you to sleep.

Sentry's Rest

When you take a long rest, you must spend at least six hours in an inactive, motionless state, rather than sleeping. In this state, you appear inert, but it doesn’t render you unconscious, and you can see and hear as normal.

Integrated Protection

Your stone body can be enhanced with armor

  • You gain a +1 bonus to Armor Class.
  • You can don only armor with which you have proficiency. To don armor, you must incorporate it into your body over the course of 1 hour, during which you must remain in contact with the armor. To doff armor, you must spend 1 hour removing it. You can rest while donning or doffing armor in this way.
  • While you live, your armor can't be removed from your body against your will.

Stone Healing

If the Mending spell is cast on you, you can spend a Hit Die, roll it, and regain a number of hit points equal to the roll plus your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1 hit point). Because of your stone body, you are unable to benefit from conventional healing options.

Healing spells have no effect on you like the fleshy creatures around you, the only spell that can do serious healing is Stone Shape. When Stone Shape is casted on you, it is treated as a 4th level Cure Wounds.

Immutable Form

You are immune to any spell or effect that would alter organic forms.

Powerful Build

You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift.

Defensive Reach

Your reach for interacting and attack is 5 feet greater than normal.

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common and Dwarvish.
