Lesser Golem Armor
When Poderik Strind survived his first attack from a golem, he was struck by a thought. If a person could harness the same magical energies that animated a powerful golem, and put them on a suit of armor, that person would be a walking death machine. Such a warrior would be better than either a golem or a regular warrior, since he would have the strength and toughness of the golem, but the flexible mind of a man. The design disappeared with Poderik when he went to test his armor in a haunted cavern and never came back.
