This liquid guardian can be created by any Magic-User of at least 11th level. First a small, humanoid statue made of silver is needed; either found or constructed (costing at least 2,000gp). It is placed into a pool of at least 1000 gallons of water, and the following spells are then cast upon the pool: CONJURE ELEMENTAL, FABRICATE, WATERSHAPE (variation of STONE SHAPE), and finally DISMISSAL. The resulting elemental "ghost" is a guardian capable of understanding simple commands as any Golem. Water Golems landing a successful hit will drown its opponent unless a save vs. Paralysis is made at -2 to the roll. Unconsciousness occurs in 2-5 rounds, and brain death after 1-2 turns. If the character saves, no damage is inflicted. These particular Golems are not affected by ELECTRICAL attacks as would be assumed; they will actually be reflected back upon the caster! However, FIRE-based ones will evaporate the Golem at a rate of 1-4 damage per round of exposure, and COLD-based attacks freeze it for as many rounds as one-third the level of the caster (round down). Once frozen, the Golem is susceptible to normal physical attacks and cannot defend itself.
