Golem background

Once a crucial part of Orzammar's defenses, golems have all but vanished as the secret to their
manufacture was lost over a thousand years ago. What few golems remain are guarded closely by
the Shaperate, brought out when the battle with the darkspawn grows desperate enough to risk
their loss. No one now would sell a golem for any price, but in ancient times, dwarves sold many
golems to the magister lords of Tevinter.

They are devastating weapons in war, living siege engines, capable of hurling boulders like a catapult
or plowing through enemy lines like an earthquake.

Playing a Golem

If you choose to play a golem, modify your character as follows:

• Add + 1 to your Strength ability.
• Add +1 to your Dexterity ability. Golems are quite the brawlers.
• Pick one of the following ability focuses: Strength (Might) or Dexterity (Brawling)
• You can speak and read the Trade Tongue.
• Add +7 to AR. At 5th level increase the AR with +2
