Fire Absorption. Whenever the golem is subjected to fire damage, it takes no damage and instead regains a number of hit points equal to the fire damage dealt.
Immutable Form. The golem is immune to any spell or effect that would alter its form.
Magic Resistance. The golem has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
Magic Weapons. The golem's weapon attacks are magical.
Multiattack. The golem makes two melee attacks.
Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 20 (3d8 + 7) bludgeoning damage.
Sword. Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 23 (3d10 + 7) slashing damage.
Poison Breath (Recharge 6). The golem exhales poisonous gas in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 19 Constitution saving throw, taking 45 (10d8) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Posted Dec 14, 2023True polymorph's duration can become indefinite if you concentrate on it for the whole hour, so you could semi-permanently keep a player as an iron golem until the magic is dispelled or the target gets downed

Posted Jan 19, 2024These things have funny enough nearly resulted in TPK's twice because players have a bad tendency to underestimate them. I often use them to guard high value NPCs like kings and such. But the typical "WE'VE SLAIN DRAGONS!" attitude often pops up as players learn the hard way that an Iron Golem has almost the same CR as an adult red dragon, so facing TWO of them at once is very bad for the average party.

Posted Mar 12, 2024wait, it says, "An iron golem’s shape can be worked into any form," meaning you could technically make like some sort of oaken bolter headed (mordenkainen monsters of the multiverse) 20ft long five headed flails in each of it's hands with back propulsors or something that OP. (DM must agree and it is VERY overpowered)

Posted Jun 14, 2024Would a disguise self or illusion or changeling effectively fool a golem into taking commands if its actual creator wasn't there? I would think the golem would still get advantage on the magical effect, but with such a low INT, the chances are still strong it could be fooled. What ruling would you make?

Posted Jan 22, 2025I ran this through a CR calculator and it was only CR 11. Even if that is inaccurate and its actually higher, CR 16 is still definitely too high for this guy.

Posted Feb 15, 2025I think the implication is it has a furnace inside if it (or a fire elemental) and it’s spewing toxic gas out of it?
