Transmuters who enjoy animating objects as guardians and companions are limited only by their imagination. Below are two more common examples of animated objects.
Constructed Nature. An animated object doesn't require air, food, drink, or sleep.
The magic that animates an object is dispelled when the construct drops to 0 hit points. An animated object reduced to 0 hit points becomes inanimate and is too damaged to be of much use or value to anyone.

Transmuters who lack the resources to create high-end golems sometimes turn to simpler ingredients to create their constructs. Such is the case with candle golems, animated mounds of wax and fire.

Morlocks are a semi-intelligent species of humanoids who live in subterranean caverns. Because of their albinism, they are frequently referred to as "white apes" or even "white orcs" by less enlightened above-ground-dwellers—both terms are incorrect, as the species does not descend from primates or elves, respectively. Instead, morlocks trace their origins to dwarves.
Despite their aggressive, stubborn nature, morlock societies are rather well-organized. Typically, morlocks gather in ...

Hey all!
The Kickstarter is officially funded—we did it in only 84 minutes. And now that all the prep for that is out of the way, I can focus on what I love again... writing!
I've already got three adventures that nearly complete. Just gotta put the finishing touches on them. I'm also working through a few commissions, so expect to see those soon, too.
Anyways, thanks everyone for your patience and understanding! I hope you enjoy the Kickstarter that we put together.

Earth elementals are stubborn, powerful brutes, but slow to act. Fire elementals are flighty and impulsive, but lack the raw strength of the earth elementals. Magma brutes—elemental creatures who possess the worst traits of both types of elementals—are extraordinarily dangerous creatures whose wrath knows no bounds and whose unbridled strength can overtake even the most powerful giants.

Not all earth elementals are walking hills of mud and dirt plodding along through dungeons, mountains, or realms of stone. Some earth elementals are literally formed from precious gems. This relationship grants them special abilities, often transforming them into dangerous foes for those who'd happen to come across one.
