Helmed Horror
A Helmed Horror is a golem, created by an engineer as a servant. It is a mindless construct, animated by an elemental spirit, able to understand simple instructions and programming in a single language chosen at the time of creation. It can speak the same language, with a very simple vocabulary.
Helmed Horrors look like animate suits of plate mail suited for a large creature.
Helmed Horrors are soldiers; that is, they excel at the defense of their master and fulfilling their charge.
The base for a golem's statistics is equal to the level of the engineer who crafted it. Under the command of an Artificer, a golem improves with training, and it is instead based on the Artificer's level.
