I was wondering if anyone could explain to me how the game determines the amount of time you will be protected by casting Golem?

thanx

It doesn't. If I recall correctly, Golem protects you for a set amount of damage. Once you've depleted this "pool" of damage, Golem wears off. I THINK the damage is a function of the caster's HP, but I'm not fully positive on that.

The amount of damage the Golem can take is equal to the caster's Max HP. This is why you would want to cast golem with a knight/lancer/etc. than with a black mage/summoner.

I don't like using it because it prevents every reaction ability from the hits it blocks...

Yeah, I only ask b/c I had cast it at the beginning of a battle and like 5 or 6 rounds later a goblin hit me and golem didn't protect me

I thought it was the user's MP. But i like using Golem if not for him the game "for me" whould be a lot harder.

The caster's faith and the caster's MP amount come into play. It's unique in the aspect that it's based off of the executor's stats rather than the target's. Personally, I never used Golem (or any other summons) because I liked the physical aspect of the game. Isolation, going out of reach, etc. were all strategies I liked to employ, and using magic didn't really come into play, I guess.

I actually never summoned him once the entire game my first time through. I found out the next time that he was actually useful. *sigh*
But yeah, it goes off the caster's HP. Thats very nice, but it doesnt save you in the Ultimate Monster Battle. I did manage to win, though.
