SPECIAL ABILITIES

Immunity to Magic (Ex)

A stone golem is immune to any spell or spell-like ability that allows spell resistance.

In addition, certain spells and effects function differently against the creature, as noted below.

  • A flesh to stone spell does not actually change the golem’s structure but negates its damage reduction and immunity to magic for 1 full round.

Slow (Su)

A stone golem can use a slow effect, as the spell, as a free action once every 2 rounds. The effect has a range of 10 feet in a burst centered on the golem and a duration of 7 rounds, requiring a DC 18 Will save to negate.

ECOLOGY

Environment any
Organization solitary or gang (2-4)

Golems are magical constructs that are created to act as guardians and servants. They are constructed using a base material and then given life by using magical rituals to entrap an elemental spirit within the body. The creation of a golem is often a long and expensive task.

Golems are mindless and rely on the orders of their master. They follow the orders that are given to them in the simplest and most uncomplicated manner. They are incapable of complex strategy or tactics.

There are many different types of golems; each of which possess different powers based on its type. The golems described here are the most common types encountered in a fantasy world.

Stone golems are constructed from either a single piece of carefully-chiseled stone or from a collection of specially-fitted stone blocks. The most elegant stone golems are used as both guardians and art pieces in a building. They appear to be beautiful statues until commanded by their master to move and act.

The average stone golem is 9 feet tall and weighs 2,000 pounds (200 bulk).
