Golem and Construct or just Construct?Cure 07:23, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Ticky... The MM defines golems as construct created through magic and animated with an elemental earth spirit. Obviously Ravenloft changes that a bit, and in the RCS, the Dread Golem template is supposedly for any construct brought to life though a dark obsession. But that template gives a lot of bonuses that I don't think every Ravenloft construct needs to have, even though the vast majority of constructs in Ravenloft probably came into being through a dark obsession.

Ultimately, it's an arbitrary distinction, and I think the easiest line to draw is: If it's got Golem in the name, it's a Golem, if not, not. Any counterexamples? -- Gonzoron 20:47, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
