A suit of Golem Armor consists of a reinforced leather underlay to which thick black iron interlocking plates are firmly riveted. The golem armor consists of breast-and-back with interlocking pauldrons, faulds, cuisses, vambraces, gauntlets and boots. The inside of the armor is treated with various alchemical circles that aid in motion. Even so, a minimum of 19 [[SRD:Strength|Strength]] is required to wear this armor without penalty. Not meeting this prerequisite makes you count as nonproficient with the armor. Golem armor is always [[SRD:Masterwork|masterwork]]; price and benefits are subsumed in the above statistics. 

The golem armor provides the following benefits when worn, on top of its general protective capabilities: 

*Golem armor counts as a masterwork skill tool for the [[SRD:Intimidate Skill|Intimidate]] skill.
*You gain [[SRD:Damage Reduction|DR]] 5/-.
*You have 50% fortification against [[SRD:Critical Hit|critical hits]]. This counts as the [[SRD:Fortification|fortification]] quality at an inherent +2 bonus that the armor has despite being non-magical. As such, increasing the [[SRD:Fortification|fortification]] quality of this armor requires enhancing it to magic armor first, costing an additional 12,000 gp (turning it into a +1 armor of ''moderate fortification'') or 32,000 gp (turning it into a +1 armor of ''heavy fortification'').
*You gain a +4 bonus on any [[SRD:Strength|Strength]]-based checks.

[[SRD:Craft Skill|Craft]] (armorsmithing and alchemy) DC [[Craft DC::34]]. Market Price 8,500 gp.
