[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 6294138, member: 177"] Quoting the d20SRD: [I]"Immunity to Magic (Ex) Golems have immunity to most magical and supernatural effects, except when otherwise noted."[/I] On spell immunity (emphasis mine): [I]"A creature with spell immunity avoids the effects of spells and spell-like abilities that [B][I]directly affect it[/I][/B]. This works exactly like spell resistance, except that it cannot be overcome."[/I] On Spell Resistance: [I]"Only spells and spell-like abilities are subject to spell resistance. Extraordinary and supernatural abilities (including enhancement bonuses on magic weapons) are not."[/I] Now, we see that golem magic immunity is not exactly like Spell Immunity to all spells - the Golem power includes supernatural effects, while Spell Immunity does not. But, the functional bit here is the "directly affect" part. Is the magic itself *directly* affecting the golem? There's a lot of judgement call in that question - you have to decide for yourself. If you want to walk through a wall of force, get yourself a colossus - they have outright Antimagic Field. [/QUOTE]
