The dread golemcrafter is the dread crafter of a golem that receives the dread golem template. The dread golemcrafter is engaged in dread constructcrafting and dread golemcrafting. The competences the of the constructcrafter and golemcrafter are not presupposed. What is achieved is achieved through dark desire and the assistance of the Dark Powers. One need not be even a novice at magic to create a dread golem. Equally, one can be the most gifted scientific mind in the Land of Mists but the golem will not animate save by the fiat of the Dark Powers. Crafting a dread golem is will to the creation of life and as such is hubris and transgression. The dread golemcrafter is certainly worthy of a Powers Check, but such a check may be unnecessary as the dread golem itself is "reward" enough.

The dread Golemcrafter is a bit like a cyclist. The cyclist knows how to ride his or her bicycle. But he or she cannot explain the physics that makes it possible. The crushing majority of dread golemcrafters do not truly know the "how" of "what" they are doing. They do not recognise the hand of the Dark Powers in the animation of their golem and they do not understand the role of dark desire in its creation. Neither Emil Bollenbach nor Dr. Victor Mordenheim constitute exceptions. Individuals such as Azalin Rex or members of the Fraternity of Shadows who have a firm understanding of the process consequently have no intention of engaging in it.

Knowledge of the particulars of the dread golemcrafter and his craft is Ravenloft Lore and Knowledge (Ravenloft). Arcane Lore and Knowledge (arcane) are useful, but afford no information about the ways in which the dread golemcrafter differs from the golemcrafter, and so may even offer information that is, in certain points, dangerously inaccurate. The crafter of a dread golem is not, for example, the crafter of a mindless creature destined to remain firmly under control.
