Golem Clay

Wondrous item, uncommon

A pack of golem clay weighs 5 pounds and is roughly the size of a large brick. You can spend 10 or more minutes molding the clay into a Tiny sculpture. Once you've done so, you can use an action to speak the clay's command word to animate it as a mindless golem, treating it as a Tiny object. The golem can perform simple tasks at your command. It has AC 13, 1 hit point, a Strength and Dexterity of 2, and it can't attack.

Once on each of your turns, you can verbally command the golem (no action required) to walk, swim, or climb—as appropriate for the golem's form—up to 15 feet and interact with an object. The golem remains animated for 1 hour, at which point it crumples into a lump of clay again. If it drops to 0 hit points, it immediately ceases to be animated, but it can be remolded and then animated once again. The golem and its clay are destroyed if it takes 10 or more damage in a single turn.

For the fledgling artist or artificer, the golem clay makes the perfect gift for any occasion!

I love this little guy! He reminds me of the cover of the statue on the 1e Player's Handbook. He's adorable. And the item is awesome, too! I've got a warforged knowledge domain cleric PC in one of my games who is wrestling with themes of consciousness, spirit, and the like. This item is perfect for him! Thanks as always for your beautiful work!
