[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 7008782, member: 57383"] Yup, the original monster has "Intelligence: Non- (0)" so the Working Draft ought to have a "—". Probably just forgot to change the Int stat from whatever creature I copy-pasted for the base stats. I think it was the Sa'ir, but can't recall for sure. Hold on a moment. The saves are completely wrong - it ought to be Fort +2, Ref +2, Will -3, not Fort +5, Ref +6, Will +5. Updating the [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?p=6908105#post6908105"][B]Chocolate Golem Working Draft[/B][/URL]. My thinking was the same.

A lesser chocolate golem is a halfling-sized version of a chocolate golem whose hollow interior is stuffed with sweets and trinkets. The golem is meant to be smashed to pieces like a piñata, so the goodies inside can be enjoyed by the party-goers. A typical lesser chocolate golem stands 3 feet tall and weighs 25 pounds, its hollow interior can hold up to 15 pounds of filling. [B][SIZE=3]Combat[/SIZE][/B] Lesser chocolate golems are designed to be victims of "playful violence" rather than opponents. They are normally ordered to run around in circles when attacked to prolong the "game" of smashing them apart. If a lesser chocolate golem is ordered to fight, it can only feebly slap at an opponent with one of its limbs. Its slam attack is treated as a secondary attack and adds only half the golem’s Strength bonus to damage. A lesser chocolate golem's cold hardening and susceptibility to heat traits are identical to those of a standard chocolate golem. [SIZE=4][B]Construction[/B][/SIZE] To create a lesser chocolate golem 25 pounds of the finest chocolate must be melted, mixed with special spices and flavorings, and then cast into a mold carved into the shape of the golem's body.
