Introduction
============

Golems can be constructed with the "Construct Golem" ability which you can learn from the various golem building manuals.
A short dialog allows you to select the desired golem type and variant to build. The construction of the physical
body takes several hours up to several days, followed by the enchantment process. There is a 4 percent chance that
the golem may break free and turn on the caster for 1d4 rounds before it finally submits to your will. After the
construction process finished the caster will be too tired to cast spells or fight properly for several rounds.

Because of the equipment required to successfully construct the golem's body you are limited to a few selected locations
where you can actually build a golem. Promising locations are usually (abandoned) strongholds of powerful mages.
More details can be found at the end of this document.

The "Construct Golem" ability can be used as many times as needed without the need to rest in between (although it is
strongly recommended).

Golem manuals will also teach you the "Repair Golem" ability. It can be used once per day in any location, but does
not work while enemies are around. The repair process takes about two rounds. Heavily damaged golems may require several
attempts to restore them to full health.


Conventional Golems
===================

Conventional golem types are described in the "Manual of Golem Building" which comes in six volumes. The tomes
themselves are not terribly difficult to obtain. Some can be purchased from merchants while others may be hidden
in some dungeon or guarded by creatures.

The materials required to build golems are also obtainable from various sources. More common ingredients can be bought
from merchants, looted from creatures or found in various locations, while the more expensive or exotic materials are
available by other means.

Conventional golem types can be build in lesser, regular, greater and perfect variants. Each variant requires its own
materials. The perfect variant will also require a specific artifact of power which is only available in limited numbers.

Golems that can be commissioned in BG:EE
========================================

These types of golems are described in the "Forbidden Manual of Golem Building" which can be found somewhere during
your adventures in the BG1 part of the game. You have to find an experienced mage who may be able to construct them
for you. More about it below.

1. Doll Golem
- Ingredients:
  - One full set of body parts
  - One cursed Antidote potion
- Stats:
  - STR: 12
  - HP: 40
  - AC: 4
  - THAC0: 11
  - APR: 1
  - Saves: 13/14/13/14/14
- Resistances:
  - Magic: 50
  - Cold: 80
  - Magic Cold: 80
  - Electricity: 50
  - Piercing: 25
  - Missile: 25
- Immune to non-magical weapons
- Special: Each attack has a chance to apply an uncontrollable laughter to the target if it fails a save vs. spell
  with a +2 bonus. The victim becomes unable to perform any other actions. Starting with the second round, each
  successive round causes +1d4 damage compared to the previous round, which is caused by the muscle spasms imposed by
  the laughter. The victim is allowed to make a save vs. spell with a +2 bonus after every round to end the laughter.
  Otherwise it ends after one turn or when removed by a Dispel Magic. Magic resistance can prevent the effect
  altogether. Undead and constructs are not affected. After the effect ended the victim is fatigued for half the time
  it was under the effect of laughter, which includes a -1 penalty to AC, THAC0 and all saving throws.
- This golem can be built by the necromancer Arkion (for a fee) who lives in Baldur's Gate, south of the Elfsong Tavern.

2. Bone Doll
- Ingredients:
  - A pile of bones
  - A small portion of life energy
- Stats:
  - STR: 12
  - HP: 35
  - AC: 6
  - THAC0: 10
  - APR: 2
  - Saves: 13/14/13/14/14
- Resistances:
  - Magic: 75
  - Fire: 20
  - Magic Fire: 20
  - Cold: 100
  - Magic Cold: 100
  - Electricity: 100
  - Piercing: 50
  - Missile: 50
- Immune to non-magical weapons
- Special: The bone doll explodes when it dies which causes 2d6 piercing damage and 1d6 crushing damage to everyone
  in 10 feet radius.
- This golem can be built by the necromancer Nemphre (for a fee) who lives in Baldur's Gate, east of the Blade and
  Stars Inn.


Each golem has the following abilities by default:
1. Dismiss:  Activating this ability will cause the golem to disintegrate. The process is irreversible.
2. Teleport: Teleports itself to a selected party member in visual range. This ability may be needed for golems with
             big circle sizes so they won't get stuck in narrow pathways. It can only be used while no enemies are
             around.
             Note: This ability is added by the Tweaks component "Add "Teleport" ability to golems".

You can also give your golems simple commands. Lesser variants of flesh, clay and stone golems, as well as maggot golems
may follow the following orders:
- Follow me! (The golem becomes controllable, but does not act on its own. This is the default action after activation.)
- Stand guard! (The golem turns neutral and does not budge from its current position.)
- Destroy yourself! (Causes the golem to disintegrate. This command is the same as the "Dismiss" ability, but can also
                     be issued when the golem is on guard duty.)

More advanced golems may also follow the following orders:
- Follow and protect me! (The golem becomes controllable and will attack any hostile creature in sight, or enemies that
                          are attacking party members.)
- Stand guard and defend the area! (The golem turns neutral and attacks any hostile creature in sight. Always returns
                                    to its guarded position.)

You should always take good care of your golems as they may start to malfunction when badly damaged. These penalties can
be removed by the "Repair Golem" ability.


Upgrading golems
================

Conventional golems may gain combat experience for each opponent they have killed. If their experience reaches a certain
threshold they can be upgraded to the next higher rank by any spellcaster who is knowledgeable in constructing golems
of that type. The more powerful a golem variant the more experience is required to advance to the next rank.
Perfect golem variants can't be advanced any further.
Lesser Flesh Golems:       50 kills or more to advance to regular Flesh Golems
Regular Flesh Golems:      100 kills or more to advance to greater Flesh Golems
Greater Flesh Golems:      200 kills or more to advance to perfect Flesh Golems

Lesser Clay Golems:        75 kills or more to advance to regular Clay Golems
Regular Clay Golems:       150 kills or more to advance to greater Clay Golems
Greater Clay Golems:       300 kills or more to advance to perfect Clay Golems

Lesser Stone Golems:       75 kills or more to advance to regular Stone Golems
Regular Stone Golems:      150 kills or more to advance to greater Stone Golems
Greater Stone Golems:      300 kills or more to advance to perfect Stone Golems

Lesser Iron Golems:        100 kills or more to advance to regular Iron Golems
Regular Iron Golems:       200 kills or more to advance to greater Iron Golems
Greater Iron Golems:       400 kills or more to advance to perfect Iron Golems

Lesser Mithral Golems:     150 kills or more to advance to regular Mithral Golems
Regular Mithral Golems:    300 kills or more to advance to greater Mithral Golems
Greater Mithral Golems:    600 kills or more to advance to perfect Mithral Golems

Lesser Adamantite Golems:  250 kills or more to advance to regular Adamantite Golems
Regular Adamantite Golems: 500 kills or more to advance to greater Adamantite Golems
Greater Adamantite Golems: 1000 kills or more to advance to perfect Adamantite Golems

To perform an upgrade you'll need the required materials. The amount of materials consists of the difference between
the new and old golem variant. There are no physical penalties applied to the caster for upgrading mithral or
adamantite golems. Talk to the golems to find out their number of kills or to initiate the upgrade process.

It is also possible to upgrade golems by a wish or limited wish spell if the caster is wise enough to choose the right
wording.


Spells that are affecting golems in some way
============================================

Since golems are non-living constructs they may be affected differently by certain spells. The following effects can
be triggered when the Tweaks component "Make golems vulnerable to specific spell effects" has been installed:
- Flesh to Stone:
  Turns Flesh Golems into Stone Golems of the same variant if they fail their Saving Throw vs. Petrify/Polymorph.
- Stone to Flesh:
  Turns Stone Golems into Flesh Golems of the same variant if they fail their Saving Throw vs. Petrify/Polymorph.
- Abi-Dalzim's Horrid Wilting:
  This spell dehydrates all Clay Golems in the area of effect and turns them into Stone Golems if they fail their
  Saving Throw vs. Spell at -2 penalty.
- Death Spell:
  Kills Maggot Golems automatically (no save allowed).
- Cone of Cold and Ice Storm:
  Clay Golems hit by this spell are slowed for five rounds if they fail their Saving Throw vs. Spell.
- Sunray:
  Causes the adamantine alloy of Adamantite Golems to deteriorate which reduces physical resistances permanently
  if they fail their Saving Throw vs. Spell. The "Repair Golem" ability can remove this effect.
- High-level fire-based spells:
  These spells will heat up Iron Golems for five rounds (no save). In this time they are able to deal out fire damage
  in addition to physical damage.
  The following spells are know to cause this effect: Meteor Swarm, Dragon's Breath, Comet, Incendiary Cloud and Fire
  Storm.


Known locations where you can successfully construct golems
===========================================================

Siege of Dragonspear:
- Sorcerous Sundries:
  You may rent the second floor from the proprietor of the shop.
- Repository of Undeath:
  This dungeon can be found beneath the Dwarven Dig Site. You have to make the area safe first by destroying the
  undead minions and dealing with the current resident.
- Ruins of Kanaglym:
  The ruins are accessible from the Underground River area. You have to make the area safe first by destroying all
  enemies and dealing with Kherriun.

Shadows of Amn:
- Planar Sphere:
  The opening area of the Sphere may be suitable for golem building (after dealing with the former owner, of course).
- Jermien's Home:
  You may be able to convince Jermien to use his home in Imnesvale for building your own golems if the protagonist is
  a spellcaster or Imoen is present.
- Cleric stronghold:
  Either of the three available temples in Athkatla's Temple District can be used to build clay golems if the
  protagonist is a cleric and chooses the respective temple of their faith as their stronghold.

Watcher's Keep:
- Second Level:
  The Wizard's Library is well equipped, but you must disable all defense mechanisms first (which includes the creature
  that guards the teleporter to the next level).

Throne of Bhaal:
- The Pocket Plane:
  This place looks safe enough for all kinds of magical experiments. Lazarus Librarus may provide the required
  equipment for a fair price.
