Clay Golem
A Clay Golem 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.
Clay Golems look like clay golems.
Clay Golems are brutes; that is, they excel at smashing things.
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.
