This golem has a [[SRD:Humanoid Type|humanoid]] body made from clay. A clay golem wears no clothing except for a metal or stiff leather garment around its hips.

A clay golem golem cannot speak or make any vocal noise. It walks and moves with a [[SRD:Slow|slow]], clumsy gait. It weighs around 600 pounds.

===Combat===
'''Berserk ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' When a clay golem enters combat, there is a cumulative 1% chance each [[SRD:Round|round]] that its [[SRD:Elemental Type|elemental]] spirit breaks free and the golem goes berserk. The uncontrolled golem goes on a rampage, attacking the nearest living creature or smashing some object smaller than itself if no creature is within reach, then moving on to spread more destruction. Once a clay golem goes berserk, no known method can reestablish control.

'''Cursed Wound ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' The damage a clay golem deals doesn’t heal naturally and resists [[SRD:Healing Subschool|healing]] spells. A character attempting to cast a [[SRD:Conjuration School|conjuration]] ([[SRD:Healing Subschool|healing]]) spell on a creature damaged by a clay golem must succeed on a [[SRD:DC|DC]] 26 [[SRD:Caster Level|caster level]] check, or the spell has no effect on the injured character.

'''Immunity to Magic ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' A clay golem is immune to any spell or [[SRD:Spell-Like Ability|spell-like ability]] that allows [[SRD:Spell Resistance and Spell Immunity#Spell Resistance (Ex)|spell resistance]]. In addition, certain spells and effects function differently against the creature, as noted below.

A ''[[SRD:Move Earth|move earth]]'' spell drives the golem back 120 feet and deals 3d12 points of damage to it.

A ''[[SRD:Disintegrate|disintegrate]]'' spell slows the golem (as the ''[[SRD:Slow|slow]]'' spell) for 1d6 rounds and deals 1d12 points of damage.

An ''[[SRD:Earthquake|earthquake]]'' spell cast directly at a clay golem stops it from moving on its next turn and deals 5d10 points of damage. The golem gets no [[SRD:Saving Throw|saving throw]] against any of these effects.

Any magical attack against a clay golem that deals acid damage heals 1 point of damage for every 3 points of damage it would otherwise deal. If the amount of healing would cause the golem to exceed its full normal [[SRD:Hit Points|hit points]], it gains any excess as [[SRD:Temporary Hit Points|temporary hit points]]. For example, a clay golem hit by the [[SRD:Breath Weapon|breath weapon]] of a [[SRD:Black Dragon|black dragon]] heals 7 points of damage if the attack would have dealt 22 points of damage. A clay golem gets no [[SRD:Saving Throw|saving throw]] against magical attacks that deal acid damage.

'''Haste ([[SRD:Su|Su]]):''' After it has engaged in at least 1 [[SRD:Round|round]] of combat, a clay golem can [[SRD:Haste|haste]] itself once per day as a [[SRD:Free Actions|free action]]. The effect lasts 3 rounds and is otherwise the same as the spell.  

===Construction===

A clay golem’s body must be sculpted from a single block of clay weighing at least 1,000 pounds, treated with rare oils and powders worth 1,500 gp. Creating the body requires a [[SRD:DC|DC]] 15 [[SRD:Craft Skill|Craft]] (sculpting) check or a [[SRD:DC|DC]] 15 [[SRD:Craft Skill|Craft]] (pottery) check.  

CL 11th; [[SRD:Craft Construct|Craft Construct]], ''[[SRD:Animate Objects|animate objects]], [[SRD:Commune|commune]], [[SRD:Resurrection|resurrection]]'', caster must be at least 11th level'';'' Price 40,000 gp; Cost 21,500 gp + 1,540 XP.
