Creatures immune to force damage?

Ah, but what about a Force Golem?

A force golem would have some nasty power like enclosing targets in forcecages which it can move through without hinderance, so it can pound on you and you can't get away.

To the OP: at least in the "open" materials, you seem to be completely in the clear. I don't recall anything off the top of my head in the MM3 or MM4, either (but that's not a guarentee). Overall, though, I think you're right: that sounds like a great deal. What's the price?

And yes: your weapon enhancement would certainly cut through creatures immune to magic of any kind - they are not "immune to force," but to magic spells.

The only thing that seems like it would confound you is a caster using a spell specifically that made it "immune to force," but that's a pretty specialized encounter.


Edit: Similarly to the force dragon, Races of the Dragon has a half-dragon template for "non-MM" dragons that includes force dragons. So along those same lines, any half-force-dragon would be immune to force.

There's also a dragon listed in the Dragonomicon that gets a +4 resistance to force effects (Tarterian dragon), but as above, a resistance bonus is clearly not "immune." Still looks like you're doing good...

Cost is +2 weapon enhancement, with the restriction that it only works with projectile weapons (e.g. bows, crossbows).

Thanks for the info, everyone!
