[QUOTE="Devilkiller, post: 4067477, member: 12360"] Morithiel, the golem is only immune to spells which allow SR. If I hit a flesh golem with Orb of Force, for instance, it would just take 10d6 damage. An Orb of Acid would function similarly. What I'm not sure about is an Orb of Fire (or Cold). Clearly it would slow the monster, but would it cause damage too? It would be helpful if the wording were more like: "A magical attack that deals cold or fire damage [I]instead[/I] slows a flesh golem (as the slow spell) for 2d6 rounds, with no saving throw." -or- "A magical attack that deals cold or fire damage [I]also[/I] slows a flesh golem (as the slow spell) for 2d6 rounds, with no saving throw." Several groups I've played with have used [I]also[/I], and I thought that was correct up until a few days ago when another DM used [I]instead[/I]. The [I]instead[/I] option seems to match up better with the way other spells affect golems. I figured I'd check online though. [/QUOTE]
