Papa's Notebook is the notebook of the deceased "Papa" who did some esoteric experiments on living people.
Magic Item
Papa's Notebook
Requires attunement for construct creation
This tome contains years of research notes from the mundane to the macabre including working as his spell book and a living manual to make flesh golems. The notebook can be read by anyone but requires attunement for any process of crafting a flesh golem. The writing is esoteric and erratic and requires a long time to acclimatise to even to just understand. Using the notebook without being acclimatised to it takes four times as long as from a regular source.
In order to acclimatise to Papa's notebook, you can spend five full days researching it and at the end of that time make a DC 20 Arcana check to use the notes unhindered. If the check fails, for each subsequent check, the DC is lowered by 2. You can further become comfortable with the notebook, "making it your own", by succeeding on an additional check of DC 35 using the same method. You can not attempt to create any type of construct using this notebook if you haven't made it your own.
The notebook works like a Manual of Flesh Golems but with a few changes. Instead of the whole book burning up, only the arcane notes for the current creation turns to ash and is used in the construction. To make a page of arcane notes for a creation you must spend a full 8 hour writing, succeeding in a DC 28 Arcana check at the end. If successful you also need to apply 10 000 gold worth of reagents to infuse magic into it. After you then attune to it, and remain attuned during the creation process, you may create a flesh golem as per the Manual of Flesh Golems.
In addition to making powerful flesh golems, the notebook can also be used to make minor creations. These do not require a pre-written page of arcane notes but do requireyou to be attuned during the whole process.
- To create a CR 1/8 flesh golem (mastiff, kitten displacer beast, etc) you must spend 10 days working and spend 500 gp to purchase supplies. Some items, like body parts, may need to be acquired separately.
- To create a CR 0 flesh golem (rat, cat, small bird, etc) you must spend 5 days working and spend 250 gp to purchase supplies, including body parts.
