She Blinded Me with Science! (Magitek That Doesn't Make Me Cry Myself To Sleep)

For BIOY 381 I have a question on the reproduction part. It states that the golems can reproduce by asexual budding but is there any limit on that? Could I make the creatures bud every .000001 seconds and just flood the plane with reproducing golems?

Also I couldn't find this on the graft page you linked but can you affix the same graft to a creature? In particular the suicide organ.

Still love the class

Good questions!

I guess that's a good call on the reproduction guidelines. It's incredibly open-ended so that people can make pretty much any kind of creature that they like, but I understand there's also room for abuse. I think what I'll do is put in a minimum gestation period based on size category; 1 month, with an additional four months for every size category above Tiny. That gives us mice with 1 month gestation, humans with 9 month gestation, and elephants with 17 month gestation. Not perfect (elephants are 22 and mice are about 20 days) but close enough to satisfy me.

The other main point I'll put in is that the creature can't reproduce until reaching adulthood.

As for the doubling up on grafts, you are allowed to have multiple of the same graft if they occupy separate body slots normally, such as claws in more places than normal. Since these growth slots can count as any body slot, you can double up whatever you like. Nothing particularly unbalancing about having exceptionally powerful death throes, especially from a 4th level graft.

Glad you like it!

You know that one cubic foot of platinum costs 665000 gp, right?

Yes. It's expensive stuff. You can always transmute a smaller amount if you want. But at normal xenoalchemy rates, at Doctorate-level you can make about enough for that in 6 months to a year. As some people pointed out to me, orichalcum is pretty much the biggest gamebreaker in the entire system.
