[QUOTE="Devilkiller, post: 4067985, member: 12360"] Yes, Hypersmurf, I think you're correct. It even seems pretty clear when you look at the effects for the clay golem. Like with "A disintegrate spell slows the golem (as the slow spell) for 1d6 rounds and deals 1d12 points of damage." the damage that Disintegrate usually does is replaced with 1d12. Looking at just the flesh and iron golems I had thought that the slow effect was something special on top of the damage though. This led to a pretty lame spell choice on my part, Lesser Orb of Electricity. I can turn it into fire with Elemental Substitution. I thought I'd be hurting and slowing flesh and iron golems with this. Instead I have no way to hurt them at all since this is my only spell which bypasses SR. Since the party has lighting and fire energy weapons my slow effect doesn't really help them either.
