I'm curious if the infinity engine treats magic immunity and magic resistance differently. I'll have to check the old Monster Manual when I get home to verify, but I believe clay golems are actually immune to magic. This implies there is no resistance to lower, it just doesn't affect them at all, period. I do know they are traditionally the toughest of the golems, because very few things can hurt them (only blunt magical items +2 or better iirc) and they can haste themselves. In BG2, Iron and Adamantite Golems are bigger, with more hp, but clay golems in good old PnP AD&D are very, very nasty.

Of course, it could just be a bug....now where did I put those 2e books anyway?

First post here too btw...nice board, with a pleasant lack of Trolls [img]smile.gif[/img]
