Creating a flesh golem

The rules on creating a flesh golem say that it requires human corpses, but I am going to rule that the corpses of any humanoids will do. (The mind flayer's golems were made of bits of goblins.) However, if Small creatures such as goblins are used you need twice as many different corpses (twelve rather than six).

Constructing the body takes 20 days and requires a fairly easy Heal or Craft (leatherworking) check. Since bookbinding involves both sewing and working with leather, I am going to rule that Verschoyle can use Craft (bookbinding) instead of Craft (leatherworking) at a -5 penalty (like with Grim using weaponsmithing to make a siege engine).

Even though it's made of flesh rather than metal, a flesh golem can be repaired using the Eberron repair spells.
