ST:	19 (KYOS: 17)	HP:	31 (KYOS: 29)	Speed:	5.25

IQ:	0	Per:	10
HT:	13	FP:	N/A	SM:	+1
Dodge:	8	Parry:	8 (unarmed)	DR:	20 (vs. electricity; absorption, see text)

    Soiled Punch (10): thrust 2d crushing (KYOS: 2d+2 crushing) + follow-up 1d toxic, Reach C-1.
    Electricity Absorption: The grave dirt golem has DR 20 against electricity, is immune to electrical conduction and noxious electrical effects. Each point of damage this DR stops turns into one character point that the grave dirt golem can use to heal itself. These points are stored into a pool that can contain up to 20 character points. Once this pool is full, each point of DR will still stop one point of electricity damage, but will not convert it into a character point. The grave dirt golem does not have to use stored points immediately. It loses absorbed points – unused ones first – at the rate of one point per second. It loses enhanced abilities as the points drain away. Restoring one HP drains 2 stored points immediately. Such healing is permanent. Only HP in excess of the grave dirt golem’s usual scores drains away. The grave dirt golem cannot absorb damage from its own abilities (for example, if its natural weapons are magically imbued with electricity).
