Pangea: Blem-Yae Golems

The Blem-Yae are magically animated statues created solely by the priests of The Church of Heaven. Unlike Golems, Blem-Yea are animated by the spirits of willing sacrifices chosen from amogst the Church's acolytes. This means that Blem-Yea have no chance of going “berserk,” and that they can learn and adapt. The Church uses them as elite servants and soldiers in their struggle against the forces of darkness and as guardians of the High Temple at Mt. Meru.

Nohock Blem-Yea are animated with the spirits of mason-acolytes in service to the Gods Of Meru, and continue as great crafters of stone. Treat all Nohock Blem-Yea as Engineers (see page 41 of the Blood & Treasure PHB). All Blem-Yea are under the permanant effects of a free action spell, allowing them to move and attack normally even under the influence of magic that usually impedes movement, such as paralysis, solid fog, slow, and web. Grapple attacks against the subject always fail and escapes by the Blem-Yea succeed.
All Nohock Blem-Yea are extremely strong, able to move huge stones and even burrow through solid stone using their magically augmented hands. In their service to Meru, Nohock Blem-Yea construct temples and waterways, excavate tunnels, and lay siege to enemies of the faith. A common trick in war is when a Nohock burrows under the walls of an enemy encampment, collapsing enemy structures before emerging and attacking "soft" targets with their huge fists.
