ABOUT

A steamwerks golem is a curious collection of heavy industrialized armor, machines and plating rolled into a large-but surprisingly agile-construct. It is a bloated thing of iron and steel, filthy with soot and oil, its rusting form belying its considerable quickness. Steam belches from innumerable vents and apertures and its movement accompanied by the scraping and grinding sound of protesting metal. Standing at just over ten feet tall and weighing 2,700 pounds, the steamwerks golem is able to repeat simple phrases programmed into its making during creation. Industrial Construction. Certain companies use steamwerks golems for harder work-and create larger specimens as a result. Many specialize in work such as deep mining or dangerous security work. Tales abound of vast steamwerks golems the size of small towns that are used to coordinate various tasks into a single entity; that these creatures-like their flesh golem cousins-occasionally go berserk is a secret few wish to admit to; steamwerks golems become so common in some places that they can outnumber employees.

Built-In Weaponry. Steamwerks golems are created with an ability to understand and use weapons, in the same way as a construct generally in human form. This weaponry is built into the construct at the time it is created, although some more advanced engineers have been able to modify the weapons after this point.
