[QUOTE="BOZ, post: 1855496, member: 1241"] Otu, for the maggot golem I think you got just about everything I was saying before, but there's still one more thing. If edged weapons cannot harm him because he is already immune to them, then DR is taken out of the equation for those, correct? If bludgeoning weapons, according to the original description, only deal half damage to him, then we want a DR to keep bludgeoning weapons from doing their full damage, right? But if the DR is set to let bludgeoning weapons get through to do their full damage then that is counter-productive isn't it? This is why I suggested using DR 10/adamantine. Follow me here. That way, attacks from slashing (and piercing I assume) weapons will always do no damage because of the separate immunity. Bludgeoning weapons (even magical ones, as the text states) will deal 10 points fewer of damage because they cannot break the DR. I'm not still particularly fond of adamantine weapons being the breaker for DR, but at least that way it's unlikely that most characters will have a weapon that can harm this golem. Plus, that puts it more in line with golems from the MM. [/QUOTE]
