===== Creation =====

Briar golems must be grown and require a magical starter seed that takes a Craft Check DC20 to make and requires 10 Alchemy Parts and 10 Magic Parts (10 hours of work). Once planted the seed takes 1 Week to grow. 

A defeated Briar Golems Heart can be replanted and regrown if intact, Craft DC 20 to do so and 1 Hour of work.

Newly grown Briar Golems follow the commands of the person who planted them and treat them as their master. An individual can only control a number of Briar Golems equal to their (Caster Level + Initiation). If they are not a caster, they can only control a number equal to their Hit Dice. Golems not under anyone's control plant themselves and become an umoving thorny plant after 6 months of without a master.

A dormant Briar Golem can be taken control of by a new master by doing a short ritual requiring 2 Magic parts and a DC 15 Knowledge (Arcana) check and 1 hour of work.
