Fiery Bolt. Ranged Attack Roll: +10, range 120 ft. Hit: 36 (8d8) Fire damage.
Poison Breath (Recharge 6). Constitution Saving Throw: DC 18, each creature in a 60-foot Cone. Failure: 55 (10d10) Poison damage. Success: Half damage.
how can he range attack with +10 should'not be +4 or +12
just yet another misprint, just roll with whatever you think is better or more fitting for the creature.
Wait so why can't the golem just hit itself with its firebolt attack and heal itself 8d8 each round?
16d8, it can attack twice per round.
I don’t think this is a misprint. The Iron Golem (and Stone Golem) seem to be using its Constitution for their “magic tricks”. Iron Golem’s Poison Breath and the Stone Golem’s Slow spell have their DC based on Con (8+5+5 for the Poison Breath and 8+5+4 for the Slow).
It's a ranged attack, so it can't attack itself. Theoretically, if you have TWO Iron Golems, they could do that. In practice, golems aren't intelligent creatures, so the only way that would happen is if the golem's creator was present to give that command. In which case the party fighting them would want to target the creator.
Did they change the formula for calculating Initiative or what? How is he getting a +9 Initiative bonus with a -1 Dexterity modifier?
a lot of high CR createrse have expertise in Initiative
