Can you enhance a golem?

[DarkJester]

Anyone else have any opinions on whether or not a golem can lower its spell immunity to accept spells cast on it if ordered to?

Considering as it's Mindless, I don't think it should be able to.

 

[DarkJester]

Yeah, I know, but it follows orders. Can it even follow that order?

Depends on if you think golems are vulnerable to a maze spell or not.

The rules do state that creatures with immunities can ignore them if they so choose. They cite the example of an elf being subject to a sleep spell.

-snip- We recently had a question of whether haste would affect undead, and came to the conclusion that intelligent undead could lower their immunity to fort based effects, so that they may be hasted. It didn't occur to me or i think anybody else about what would happen if they put their immunity back up after accepting haste. Technically they would negate the haste again, since they are making themselves immune to those effects again. But if they keep it down, they could be destructioned and such. Interesting. -snip-

I don't think undead should be able to lower their immunity to Fort based effects.

From the SRD:
A creature with no Constitution has no body or no metabolism. It is immune to any effect that requires a Fortitude save unless the effect works on objects. The creature is also immune to ability damage, ability drain, and energy drain, and always fails Constitution checks.

It looks like the undead's immunity to effects requiring Fort saves is a result of their nature, rather than an ability.

I think the Golem's magic immunity, while it might work like spell resistance, is no spell resistance and cannot be lowered.
