Gigantic Ice Golem
To add to the pile of Crinti-esque building....
+44 to hit (keep in mind, barring a one this means will always hit anything below AC 47)
Damage 60-70 per hit...without a crit...
Occurs in what used to be a mid-level area...
Insanely built, old-drow with full benefits...dead in three rounds (I count myself lucky to have lasted that long)...
Please tone down.

Re: Gigantic Ice Golem
It's AB shouldn't be this high. Are you certain it was 44?
On other news, I'm lowering its damage.

Re: Gigantic Ice Golem
Absolutely sure AB 44, got the stat from the combat logs while I waited at the Wall.
If anything reported was a guesstimate, it was the damage, which did dip into the 50s on me sometimes, but 60-70 was the general average in my brief encounter. Thank goodness it did not crit or I would have had even less data in the combat log.
Thanks for the tone-down. I think high AB or high damage is fine, but both where it was puts it in the party-only/epic boss fight category.
Another alternative would be to scale some more of its damage to cold, where at least there are easily had protections.

Re: Gigantic Ice Golem
Is there a reason they are basically immune to Magic??
I had my mage use Maximized Flame Arrow on it three times, it literally showed no damage, no resistance, nothing.

Re: Gigantic Ice Golem
Gigantic Golem has 26 SR.
It's by design to be a bit more challenging than the dragon, since before I thought it was rather pathetic. Damage is being reduced significantly soon.

Re: Gigantic Ice Golem
ahh, well my lvl 15 drow with Maximized Fire arrows couldn't even dent it. Lol
Re: Gigantic Ice Golem
There's the problem, as a level 15 spellcaster without spell penetration feats you need to roll 11+ on the spell resist roll to get any spells through on a SR 26 creature.Gods_Kill_People wrote:ahh, well my lvl 15 drow with Maximized Fire arrows couldn't even dent it. Lol
Re: Gigantic Ice Golem
I've heard that the Ice Golem is immune to fire? But I'm not brave enough to go back and check it till Cortex dials it back abit...

Re: Gigantic Ice Golem
Now why would "Ice" be immune to fire?...logically Air or water would make a lot more sense as Fire would melt ice, if anything it should be a vulnerability, Water or Air doing nothing and Ice damage healing it.
Re: Gigantic Ice Golem
Because this golem's powerful! The lesser versions are weaker, and should be vulnerable to fire.

Sorry..still makes no sense...not what so ever.
Re: Gigantic Ice Golem
Ice being immune to fire actually makes a great deal of sense. Try throwing a block of ice on a campfire and you'll get a lot of noise and steam but very little actually happening, melting ice with a direct flame takes a fair while.Gods_Kill_People wrote:Now why would "Ice" be immune to fire?...logically Air or water would make a lot more sense as Fire would melt ice, if anything it should be a vulnerability, Water or Air doing nothing and Ice damage healing it.
What would make more sense in my book would be sonic vulnerability.

It takes a fair while, but it DOES melt it, FIRE is stronger then ICE.

So does room temperature, but we don't see ice golems taking constant damage over time, do we?Gods_Kill_People wrote:Nitro wrote:Ice being immune to fire actually makes a great deal of sense.

Re: Gigantic Ice Golem
So it's really just a Ice Golem that Mega Evolved and thus lost weakness to Fire attacks.
Guys we solved the mystery

Re: Gigantic Ice Golem
If you are talking about the one in the cave close to the ice road its XP seems to be bugged: Killed it two times and got 1xp each time...
Re: Gigantic Ice Golem
It is currently bugged, pending an investigation & fix.
Re: Gigantic Ice Golem
With the problem probably have been found, I'll have a new version uploaded soon ish.
Re: Gigantic Ice Golem
As in other threads, Golem is now doable and something less than insta-death for high teens low epics.
However, just fought it last night, and the 1xp payout it real. Is the CR set artificially low or something?

Re: Gigantic Ice Golem
The CR is 46. I've made another boss from the ground up to replace it soon, perhaps that will fix it.
