Maybe Origins/Awakening does not give rogue wardens a spirit related specialization like mages and warriors get because it knows they would be too powerful

I have created a Bomb Golem. I made him out of explosives cannon shot, kegs, fireworks, and a cannon. I have named him Bob the Bomb and I expect his blast radius and strength to be able to level the Arcane City. I have become the most powerful artificer alive! Get fucked Jorge! You said I’d never amount to anything! I’m gonna blow up your tower first!
Yes, I put runes on him, he can only explode when he wants to.
I might put him in the golem trebuchet…

An annoyed huff escaped Terios’ pursed lips as he thumped his tail on the ground. Terios was deep in thought; cataloging his emotions and feelings in terms of importance. He would be lying to himself if he didn’t admit to feeling a bit overwhelmed. He was still processing everything. If only he had Blue’s guidance. They were very insightful in these types of situations and generous in providing direction.
His eyes shifted to the two capsas on the ground. The parchment scrolls nestled inside left detailed instructions on what to do. Hundreds of years worth of instructions were left behind, delicately penned by the hand that trusted him the most. It would take an extensive amount of time and energy to preserve the Chaos Crystals from potential harm. All of that work for a single individual and his rock companion to have on their shoulders. Well, only one of them had shoulders. The other was just a head.
The subtle, but bittersweet noises of nature would take some time to get used to… unlike the first time he waded into this terrane. That was a cultural shock that he had not experienced before. The ebony hedgehog released his breath as he glanced down to his single-headed golem friend. The rock waddled side-to-side, chirping a song to himself as he felt the sun’s rays warm him up. Terios shook his head with a half-hearted chuckle. OMEGA always seemed to find a positive out of a negative situation.
“They would know what to do in a situation like this,” he muttered to himself. “Come, OMEGA. Let’s get this over with.”

I really love this bit, because it helps illustrate a key part of superhuman fights in Worm: fights tend to be dangerous not just because the combatants are dangerous, but because their powers are often unknown and unpredictable. A good portion of the fight scenes in Worm pivot on learning the details of an enemy’s power and figuring out way to counteract it mid-fight. But this passage shows how if you know the ins and outs of an enemy—like, how they can only extend sharp edges—you can figure out how to safely counter them with some preparation and training. If Jack Slash hadn’t had the Slaughterhouse 9000 backing him up, I’m pretty sure Golem might have been able to overwhelm him using this maneuver, even with his secondary power.
This also helps explain why there aren’t a huge amount of direct nemesis relationships like Golem and Jack. If you are constantly at each others throats, it becomes both easy and advantageous to become familiar with each other, and if you’re familiar with each other, it becomes easy for one to overpower the other quickly. No wonder so many villains change towns with regular frequency, why the PRT will transfer heroes to new cities so regularly. We see this in action earlier with Shadow-Stalker—Grue and Shadow were already more dangerous towards each other than the rest of the Undersiders and Wards were because of how their powers interacted and the consistency with which they faced each other. It’s probably one of the factors in why the Undersiders chose Sophia as the Ward to Regent-jack during the PRT heist. And, because the Undersiders were familiar with both her weaknesses and how she fought due to her spats with Brian and Taylor, she was fairly easy to overwhelm and subdue.
Man, this really makes me want to see how a more long-term battle between the Undersiders and the PRT would go. It was already heading in the direction of nemeses specifically counteracting each other, what with Taylor’s more brazen solo assaults on the headquarters using her swarm more ruthlessly to overwhelm the heroes, Kid Win developing the anti-bug drones, and Skitter having an even more direct adversarial relationship with Tagg than any previous PRT official. I’d be excited to see who’d win the prep race in that scenario.

Golem Grafter (Pathfinder Second Edition Archetype)
Tumblr media
(art by Sincker on DeviantArt)
Prosthesis and mobility aids are an important part of helping people live active productive lives when they have a disability. Now, take that and apply it to fantasy and sci-fi, and you get devices that not only improve lives, but also go beyond mortal capabilities, something that can feel very empowering to folks in similar situations in the real world.
There are those that dismiss the presence of prosthesis in fantasy gaming because “magical healing renders them obsolete”, but this rings hollow when spells that regenerate limbs are so high level, or don’t even function for those born with congenital conditions.
And besides, disabled folks deserve to see themselves in gaming too.
In any case, today we’re looking at an archetype that serves as a spiritual successor to 1e archetypes like the constructed pugilist, though while those archetypes were often vague about the exact form of construct they were, the flavor of the golem grafter suggests that the construction is similar to that of creating golems, though this need not necessarily be the case if you’d like to have more clockwork-like limbs.
Whether they had an injury that needed repair and they took it further, or they have an earnest belief in the need to seek perfection in the mechanical form, these grafters replace their limbs with enchanted replicas of stronger materials. As they grow in skill in other areas, they often replace organs as well, (or possibly just master the use of a previous replacement) truly making the strength of these prosthesis their own.
In preparation for other augmentations, these grafters have their flesh augmented by magical and alchemical means in a similar way to the flesh of a flesh golem, hardening them against attack.
Some replace one of their fists with one of clay, and have it imbued with the same sort of cursed magic seen in clay golems. While not able to impede healing, their mighty strikes can weaken a foe’s resistance against other curses.
With a replacement heart, they can accelerate their own heartbeat to stimulate adrenaline and get the blood flowing, speeding themselves up the move more quickly or counterbalance effects that would slow them.
Whether they are made of stone or some other, sturdy material or design, some have replaced their legs with powerful prosthesis that give them nearly unshakable footing. Of course, just as they are immovable, they can also be unstoppable, pushing foes away.
Finally, some replace their lungs with strong mechanical equivalents that are not only more resistant to poison, but also can store such toxic gasses in a separate chamber, allowing them to exhale the poison back at their foes.
No matter how exactly you flavor or reflavor it, this archetype is a fun way to play a character with a little bit of golem in their bodies. If you’re looking just for one specific feat from it, it can be  fun way to have a character with a prosthesis that empowers them, or you can go whole-hog and become more machine than man. The more of these feats you take the better the dedication’s damage resistance and hp increase is, so it can be used with any sort of tanky build, or you could pick and choose to get a few neat gimmicks that a roguish character might find handy.
This is a relatively short archetype, but one that is just begging to take abilities based on every golem in the game in making into additional homebrew feats for the archetype. Imagine an alchemical golem stomach that can digest and vomit poison, or maybe a magnetite skeleton that makes the user hard to disarm. The possibilities are myriad and delightful.
While he is a suli, Ageshu has always had the strongest affinity with earthen elements. After losing an arm during a hunt, the young gnoll got a clay replacement limb, and was shocked to see he could manipulate it like flesh and bone. Now, he seeks other ways to transform his body, an interest that has proved polarizing to the rest of the tribe.
Having had enough of a lifetime of constant illness, Kagonne the plague giant has vowed to somehow break the curse of perpetual disease and illness over his people… or barring that, finding a way to replace flesh with something no disease can touch. For this purpose, he has kidnapped one of the greatest alchemist golem-crafters around, and his work has already paid dividends in augmented giant soldiers.
Though it is nothing more than a simulation created by Big Idea, a supercomputer the size of a city, the world of Lucity is intricate enough that the AI within have souls of their own. In one nation within that land, the people have discovered a way to replace body parts with construct replacements. While this is impressive, minor mistake in the coding has caused an error which now interprets simulated nonliving matter as being alive, causing an epidemic of spontaneously animating objects. The only way to fix this error is to venture into the deep code and insert a missing rune (square bracket).

Thoughts on nichevoya=golems?
My first answer was no, I pictured the clay man from Císařův pekař a pekařův císař, baking bread for the people...
Tumblr media
But I looked at wiki for less fairytale-y informations and:
The most famous golem narrative involves Judah Loew ben Bezalel, the late 16th-century rabbi of Prague, also known as the Maharal, who reportedly "created a golem out of clay from the banks of the Vltava River and brought it to life through rituals and Hebrew incantations to defend the Prague ghetto from anti-Semitic attacks and pogroms".[16][17] Depending on the version of the legend, the Jews in Prague were to be either expelled or killed under the rule of Rudolf II, the Holy Roman Emperor. 
They're not the same, I doubt LB wrote them as such, unless she was trying to say mythical Jewish protectors were evil, but there are similarities.
They're made by powerful leader of people oppressed over a long period of time, who happen to be in greater danger than usual. They're made by unconventional, for ordinary mortals forbidden, means.
The greatest difference is golem was made out of ordinary material, brought into life by said magic, while nichevo'ya are almost completely merzost-made out of the Darkling's own being. Horrifying way to protect others.

Hello, how are you?✨ 
Today I bring to you (a bit late as usual) my autumn TBR, of which I am currently half way through 😅
So, in no particular order, we have: ▪︎The secret history by Donna Tartt (do not come at me, but I was not the biggest fan of this one) ▪︎The creeping shadow and The empty grave by Jonathan Stroud (the 4th and 5th installment in the Lockwood & Co. series) ▪︎The graveyard book by Neil Gaiman (which is just really good) ▪︎ A far wilder magic by Allison Saft (that I keep on seeing everywhere and also that cover 😍) ▪︎Ordinary Monsters by J.M. Miro (in this gorgeous Italian edition that reminds me a lot Jonathan Strange ✨) ▪︎The golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker (that has been on my shelf for ages)
Also, if you scroll, you can see the rest of my autumn list on Notion 😊
What about you? What are your reading plans for this fall? 👀🍂

Amazing Mirror is the only mainline Kirby game I've never beaten.
I've beaten the main stories of literally all the others.
But not Amazing Mirror.
Gonna admit I'm someone that easily gets lost in its layout. It would be very hard for me to beat it without being heavily reliant on a guide.
I don't at all mean to insult the game, by the way. I just wish I could more easily find my way throughout the layout without inadvertently going around in circles.
I'll try to beat it some day if I can. Maybe during this year because the game came out in 2004, so it'll be 20 years old in below a month.
But yeah.
Just wanted to point out the random fact that as of now, I've beaten the main story of every mainline Kirby game except Amazing Mirror.
Welp.

Making this post from my orb, currently hiding from the Mage Guild. I don’t regret what I did. Changing the statue into a golem was hilarious. Not my fault the kids weren’t fast enough. So what if the Grand Archmagos didn’t make it? If he’s not fast enough to teleport away from a golem’s fist, he shouldn’t be in charge.
