A Clay Golem is a humanoid construct animated by magic or alchemical means. Clay Golems are incapable of independent thought or action and may be programmed to obey up to three separate commands. Clay Golems may also be programmed to follow simple and direct commands given by its master.

While this may be useful to some extent, the Golem will only respond to simple, single subject commands. Even combining two simple commands into a single sentence will baffle it (i.e. “Go to the door and open it” is too much).

Clay Golems are incredibly strong, able to easily move up to double its own mass. They are often used by spell casters as bodyguards, laborers, and sentinels. They are immune to non-magical weapons, extremes of cold and heat, and they are unaffected by any magic or effect that affects the mind, such as control spells, magical command spells, illusions, etc.
