[QUOTE="Timely Drought, post: 1689857, member: 13859"] Golems sense things through sight and sound, like everyone else. You'll notice it has no spot or listen ranks (in fact no skills at all). An invisible rogue moving silently can sneak around without fear. From the SRD -- Rust Monster [i]Rust (Ex): A rust monster that makes a successful touch attack with its antennae causes the target metal to corrode, falling to pieces and becoming useless immediately. The touch can destroy up to a 10-foot cube of metal instantly. Magic armor and weapons, and other magic items made of metal, must succeed on a DC 17 Reflex save or be dissolved. The save DC is Constitution-based and includes a +4 racial bonus.[/i] What the hell does that last phrase mean? A constitution-based reflex save? What racial bonus? Ignoring that last phrase, the Golem has a good chance of failing the save with a +5 reflex save. If he succeeds, he'll crush the rust monster into a fine paste. Better have a few of them. Or make one invisible and silent... From the SRD -- Iron Golem [i]An iron golem is affected normally by rust attacks, such as that of a rust monster or a rusting grasp spell.[/i] [/QUOTE]
