Golem Master O.C.C. (Working Creation)

Unread post by Panomas II »

Golem Master O.C.C.

The Golem Master is an uncommon variant of the Stone Master, both of whom utilize Stone Magic. On Rifts Earth other than Atlantis, the specialty of Stone Magic is only commonly practiced by a decent number of citizens within the city of Manoa. While the Golem Master has many abilities that are similar to a Stone Master, whose specialty is stone pyramid design, the Golem Master has instead chosen to specialize his/her magical aptitude to the stone crafting and sculpture of a growing variety of intricate golem creations. If the Stone Master through the application of their magic is considered Manoa’s engineers or architects, then the Golem Master should be equally considered the city’s aspiring stone artisan or sculptor. The line and likeness of a stone sculpture (golem or not) created by an experienced Golem Master is flawless. It is with involving passion and practice with stonework, as well as their knowledge of gem magic; that the Golem Master is known to create some of the most beautiful and versatile stone golems and statues imaginable. In fact over 70% of the largest stone statues and sculptures that beautify the city of Manoa (which many of the common citizen believe are only decorative), are actually the time intensive labor, of love and magic of the Golem Master at work.

Attribute Requirements: I.Q. M.E. and Same as the Stone Master (WB 2 PG 99). The Golem Master O.C.C. is only available to the Ewaipanomas and True Atlantean which are native to the city of Manoa. In the city of Alexandria (Atlantean Colony; Phase World) the O.C.C. is only known in commonality to members of the True Atlantean clan Acherean. The availability of the O.C.C. should be limited to the largest of the Atlantean established cities that utilize stone pyramid magic.

Alignment: Same as the Stone Master (WB 2 PG 99).

O.C.C. Skills: Notes: Only Skill differences between the Stone Master and Golem Master are listed. If listed as "Same" this is reference to the Stone Master. Percentage differences listed below are also relevant to the Stone Master.
Languages & Literacy: Literacy Same
Languages: One Additional Language of Choice (+10%)
Basic Math: (-15%)
Advanced Math (-5%)
Astronomy (-10%)
Lore Demons & Monsters: No
Land Navigation: No
New
Art (Sculpting) (+25%)
Masonry (+15%)
Gemology (+10%)
W.P. of choice (-1)
Hand to Hand: Same.

Verbiage about the costs of changing hand to hand styles... Same.

O.C.C. Related Skills: Select a total of eight other skills. Select two additional skills at level three, seven, eleven and fifteen.

Communications: Same
Domestic: Any (-5%)
Electrical: Same
Espionage: Same
Mechanical: Same
Medical: Same
Military: Same
Physical: Same

Pilot Related: Same, but (-5)
Rogue: Same
Science: Same, but (+5%)
Technical: Same, but (+5%)
Weapon Proficiencies: Any, though most distain modern weaponry.
Wilderness: Same, but (-10)

Secondary Skills: +1 more than the Stone Master total. Same verbiage about Secondary Skills.

Standard Equipment: Equipment is the same except... A carrying case containing sculpting tools (yes, Golem Masters do not only use magic to perfect their abilities) which commonly includes; 1D4 large chisels, mallet, hammer, hand pick, shovel, putty knife, magnifying glass, gem cutter’s glass and tools. Many also carry either a self-made stone (gem encrusted) staff /wand or wear a stone (gem encrusted) hand or wrist bracelet. Though these devices do not inflict mega-damage they do allow the user easy direct contact (engraved on the handle), so that the Golem Master can utilize the gems for effect.

Note: Most have a moderate distain for mechanical or modern vehicles preferring to use a horse or self-created Statue/Golem Mount which is detailed (as well as creation rules) after this O.C.C. description.

Magic Tattoos: Same.

Money:10D6x10000 in precious gems. Golem Masters have little use for accumulating less then what would be considered more than a moderate fortune, not to mention that the gem and crystal components that their stone golems require are expensive. Most have the typical attitude of pure artist with little drive to acquire anything they can’t use to further their artistic experience. Note: G.M.s should consider what gems are available as most Golem Masters will collect gems on site if they can afford them. The prices listed here and other locations should be used as a guideline.

Cybernetics: Same.

Insanity: Same.

True Atlantean Characteristics as they apply to Golem Masters (Derivative Source: Rifts Book of Magic)

Notes: That's all for today... I need to edit a couple of things as I go forward and discard this or that so that I'm not infringing on the Stone Master O.C.C. I'll Be back!

"same" as what?

-----

There is a spell in the PF:MoM1 books that this class might have as a starting spell. Or as a mature experience mage L5/L7 level up spell.
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.
Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.

Don't just tell me then. *points at the edit button on the post that only you can see*
Even in the canon books they write out fully what the power is the same as <class x>.
