Berserk. Whenever the golem starts its turn with 40 hit points or fewer, roll a d6. On a 6, the golem goes berserk. On each of its turns while berserk, the golem attacks the nearest creature it can see. If no creature is near enough to move to and attack, the golem attacks an object, with preference for an object smaller than itself. Once the golem goes berserk, it continues to do so until it is destroyed or regains all its hit points.
The golem's creator, if within 60 feet of the berserk golem, can try to calm it by speaking firmly and persuasively. The golem must be able to hear its creator, who must take an action to make a DC 15 Charisma (Persuasion) check. If the check succeeds, the golem ceases being berserk. If it takes damage while still at 40 hit points or fewer, the golem might go berserk again.
Aversion of Fire. If the golem takes fire damage, it has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks until the end of its next turn.
Immutable Form. The golem is immune to any spell or effect that would alter its form.
Lightning Absorption. Whenever the golem is subjected to lightning damage, it takes no damage and instead regains a number of hit points equal to the lightning damage dealt.
Magic Resistance. The golem has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
Magic Weapons. The golem's weapon attacks are magical.
Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d8 + 4) bludgeoning damage.
Description
A flesh golem is a grisly assortment of humanoid body parts stitched and bolted together into a muscled brute imbued with formidable strength. Powerful enchantments protect it, deflecting spells and all but the most potent weapons.
This is pretty cool. Next I want a damaged stone golem.
How does an HP of 5 (11d8+44) work exactly...?
Dice comes out to 55 minumum, 11 times higher than 5...
This monster is basically identical to the standard "Flesh Golem" from the basic rules. I believe it is supposed to read "Hit Points 93 (11d8 + 44)". It should also have a Challenge Rating of 5 (1,800 XP) and a Proficiency Bonus +3.
If you look in the Frozen Sick adventure (currently available for free in the Quarantine Resources tab), the HP, ability to multi-attack, and CR have all been adjusted because this golem was "damaged". Its berserk trait is also already active at this point in the adventure. The rolled HP is likely just carried over from the base stat block for the basic Flesh Golem. However, the creature is nerfed since characters are level 2 at this point in the adventure!
I think that it was a mistake. 95.
Um, l don't have EGtW, why am l able to view this?
It's a pretty rough nerf. It gets to keep One of its hit dice (4.5, rounded to 5), and doesn't even add its CON mod to its hp.
It is a damaged version
It is a damaged version
It's intended for a lvl2 party.
The devs put him there probably just to have those who know what a Flesh Golem is poop their pants.
no it lost an arm and is at 5 out of 93 hp
