RE: [DL] deadlands humor, or Not a hollow golem, or Voodoo doll golem

Question: how do you stop a normal Voodoo doll?

Answer: you kill it's creator.

The PC should run away from the Golem.  He then must find it's creator
before the Golem finds him.

I meant to reply to this days ago, but here goes:

O.K., this thing mirrors on him the damage it takes, right? Well, how
about
the only way to damage it is for him to damage himself? He cuts his arm
with
a knife, only he doesn't take the wound- it does. He cuts his arm off,
his
arm is intact but the voodoo doll's arm falls off. He blows himself up
with
dynamite, the doll takes the massive damage instead... up to the point
required to kill it :) .
