Complex Monsters II

Here's another attempt at a monster that would require more explanation to run.  In the last post the monster was complicated because it had something like a biological life cycle.  Complexity can also come from Magic and its quirky rules and steps, so let's explore that angle.  An older monster that might fit the bill is the Nested Golem.  I can imagine a seperate illustration for each stage making even more than a page possible to present it.  Here is a similar but slightly different Golem.  This one doesn't have actual physical stages but magical rule stages:

Hermetic Golem
The most learned of Kabbalists could not only make inert matter come to life, but make it impervious to harm.  Not completely impervious; always one secret way remained to make the creations able to be harmed.  Refinements to the process led these sages to layer the dweomers so that even if a person were to dicover the secret to harming the golem, another different secret awaited underneath.  Like tumblers in a lock these secrets must be presented in the right order:

Hit it with:

1. a blunt weapon
2. a sharp weapon
3. magic
4. wood
5. iron
6. earth
7. water
8. fire
9. salt
10. acid

Cause it to walk across:

1. a map
2. a piece of clothing that was worn by its maker
3. a singular book
4. salt
5. accidentally spilled wine
6. a poem written in chalk
7. its shadow
8. the shadow of a child
9. the clothes of someone you love
10. the hair of a dead family member

Do this aloud:

1. speak it's name
2. speak your name
3. speak the name of its maker
4. rebuke it in the language of its maker
5. speak a secret word
6. sing a song in the language of the maker
7. recite the story of its making
8. give the just reasons that you must pass
9. laugh genuinely
10. lists the names of your children awaiting you

Assign a d10 of a particular color to each list and roll them.  Determine from how they land what order they will be in.  This gives 1000 possible combination to get past the  Hermetic Golem.  Obviously some research or divination might be required.
