[QUOTE="DnDChick, post: 81770, member: 54"] Gish is righ. You need to show the average hit points for the golem. This would be 26 × 5.5 (round down) = 143 hp [b][/b] Your melee bonus is off by 1. The -1 that applies to AC also applies to attacks, and you didnt factor in the +5 from its Fists of Might special attack, so this should be: Attacks: 2 slams +40 [b][/b] According to Dragon Mag #276 in the article that details monster making, the most a Large construct could do with a slam attack is 2d8. Also, since the Slam is its only natural attack, its Strength bonus is multiplied by 1.5. You must also add in the +5 for its Fists of Might. Your damage here should be: Damage: 2d8+30 [b][/b] You didnt subtract 1 from the Ref save from the Dex of 9. These should be: Saves: Fort +8, Ref +7, Will +8 [b][/B] Other than these things Ive noted here, looks good! :) [/QUOTE]
