[QUOTE="Luce, post: 5373629, member: 29760"] It come to abstraction of HP. You are saying that you are trying to destroy the body, others think that you are trying to erode the magic. As in you smash the side of the golem putting a nice dent. The body repairs itself, but now there is a little less magic left in it. In that scenario it does not matter if you attack a physical weak point(pieces reform and the only repaired damage is the connecting edge) , just how hard you swing (volume deformation, which have to be reshaped). By this theory in the end of teh fight you can gave more or less intact inactive statue. To add to the bizarreness, look at the healing methods for some golems. High heat(fireball for example) should be melting the iron body not healing it. Unless that is the source of its magic. I rationalize it by describing damaged areas to iron golems growing red for a moment and reshaping. But that is my fluff. If you feel that the core assumption in 3rd ed impedes your fun, by all means change it. [/QUOTE]
