Monster Manual II
Example using a 1st-level half-orc fighter who has failed a Will save as the character, are provided here.
A half-golem looks like a bizarre and horrifying melding of a golem and the character it once was. The materials of its golem limbs twine and crawl across its flesh, like ivy growing across a building or tree. In many cases, a half-golem's flesh is horribly scarred and has the pale gray color of death. Half-golems speak whatever languages they spoke before their transformations, but their voices are harsh and strangled.
The limbs of an iron half-golem appear bolted or riveted to the flesh. Irregular and haphazard iron plates join flesh and metal limbs. The limbs can be fashioned in any manner, just like those of a stone half-golem, although they usually appear armored. They are much smoother than those of a stone half-golem.
Breath Weapon (Su): As a free action, an iron half-golem an emit a cloud of poisonous as from its limbs in a 10-foot cone directly in front of it. The cloud lasts 1 round, and the limbs emit another cloud every 1d4+1 rounds. The initial damage is 1d4 points of Constitution damage, and the secondary damage is death. A Fortitude save (DC 10+ 1/2 the iron half- golem's Hit Dice + the iron half-golem's Constitution modifier) negates both effects.
Rust Vulnerability (Ex): An iron half-golem is affected by rust attacks, such as that of a rust monster or a rusting grasp spell.
