Editing Blackstaff's Tome of Wizardry (section)

==School of Golemancy==
This is a wizard focused on the arts of crafting [[golem]]s; it has no direct precedents amongst the "core eight" schools of magic, but is arguably closest in thematic elements to the [[necromancer]].

At level 2, they gain the features '''The Basics of Crafting''' (free proficiency with Mason's, Smith's and Woodcarver's Tools, add Mending as an extra cantrip that doesn't use up your maximum cantrips list) and '''Prototype Golem'''. This is the core feature of the subclass; a personal pet in the form of... well, a [[golem]], duh! This has some fairly complex rules, but what it boils down to is that the golem has a telepathic link to its creator, it acts on its own turn and initiative in combat, its stats scale with the golemancer's level, it can be healed with Mending, and if destroyed, it can be rebuilt by working on it over a long rest.

At level 6, '''Advanced Programming''' boosts the golem's armor and damage output, gives it Proficiency in Strength and Constitution saves, and gives it two skills of the golemancer's choice.

At level 10, '''Adaptable Build''' lets the golemancer install one of three advanced abilities in their golem as part of a long rest; it can only have one at a time, but it can swap them out as part of a long rest. These options are ''Hostility Confrontation Matrix'' (gain a Slam attack that is extra effective against inanimate objects), ''Arcane Hardened Chassis'' (damage resistance to non-magical weapons and to acid, cold, fire and lightning), and ''Prescient Defense Measures'' (so long as the golemancer is within 30 feet, they can transfer half their damage taken per attack to their golem and the golem can use its reaction to boost the golemancer's AC).

Finally, level 14 gives them '''Spell-Powered Golem''', which lets them store a 4th level or lower spell in their golem, which can be activated whenever the golemancer decrees. Until it's activated, the golem gains magic resistance, its attacks count as magical, and it regenerates 5 HP a turn.
