Adding abilities to Golems

[Nekira Sudacne]

Nope. There are no rules anywhere for adding features to golems. or zombies. or mummies. There's only a single stock version of each. (well, more zombie types in Dead Reign, but that's a whole 'nother story, and they arn't made by a spell anyway)

However, in the Federation of Magic, the closest you get are Automations, which are extremely advanced golems.

The problem is, only a single class can make them, the High Magus, they take months of time and millions in resources, and they require a specific God to imbue them with a portion of his own power to activate. So...not really what your looking for.

And before you ask, no, you can't customize THEM either, there's just a number of premade models.

One of the Rifters had an article about golems. It included adding special abilites to them.

Looking at the Create Golem Spell in the Rifts Book of magic, I saw that a Golem is only Speed 8, and instantly wanted to increase it's speed. I looked through my library of rifts books, and found no entry about adding extra spells and/or abilities to constructs/automatons. My query is whether or not it is possible, by the Rules, and if so, where can I find them?

You could always cast Superhuman Speed on them for short duration boosts.
If you can find a PFRPG Diabolist, he/she could add a permanency ward to that spell, making it permanent.
Or other spells, like Fly As The Eagle, Fleet Feet, etc. etc.

Here's a discussion from a while back about generally improving and buffing up your golems.

There is also the Immortal golem char type in PU2.

Ok, I saw the post in the previous thread, but what I'd like to know is which rifter it's out of, so I can get a copy of it and show my GM.

It's the only form of proof that they will accept.
