[QUOTE="Garnfellow, post: 1567442, member: 1223"] Cthuludrew, Very nice rendition -- much thanks! I knew I should've scoured that Starflung site more thoroughly before going off and making my own conversion. Anyway, here was my take on the bronze golem -- although I will likely incorporate some of your cool ideas into a revised version. We seem to have come up with pretty similar end products. At 16 ft tall, this golem is right on the border between Large and Huge size. I went with Huge just for a contrast with an iron golem (Although I wanted the bronze golem to be slightly weaker than an iron one. I see we both went for a CR of 12.) I also used 3.5 rules. Anyway, here's my take: [B]BRONZE GOLEM[/b] Huge Construct (Fire) [B]Hit Dice:[/b] 20d10+40 (150 hp) [B]Initiative:[/b] –1 [B]Speed:[/b] 25 ft.

A bronze golem can be fashioned in any manner, but is often formed like a broad-chested, bearded giant with half-plate armor and a horned helmet. A bronze golem is 16 feet tall and weighs about 13,000 pounds. A bronze golem cannot speak or make any vocal noise. Its body shimmers with the great heat inside it and it moves with a slow, deliberate gait. Each step causes the floor to tremble unless it is on a thick, solid foundation.

In addition, certain spells and effects function differently against the creature, as noted below. A cold effect that deals more than 30 points of damage slows it (as the [i]slow[/i] spell) for 1d6 rounds, with no saving throw. [B]Construction [/b]A bronze golem’s body is sculpted from 13,000 pounds of pure bronze, smelted with rare tinctures and admixtures costing at least 30,000 gp.
