Fighting Golems

Post by gregatkins »

I've read several posts about fighting golems. I somehow managed to pick up a Rod of Smiting (I forgot where). If a golem fails its save after being hit, it is instant death. I just give it to Jaheira, have her suck down a potion of giant strength to help her to hit rolls, and whack!

I want to say I bought that rod at Trademeet.

I cannot be caged.
I cannot be controlled.
(I probably cannot be contained either) :p ;)

Yes, you find the Rod of Smiting in the Underdark. ;)
There's nothing a little poison couldn't cure...

What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, ... to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if he people could understand it, it could not be released because of national security.

that stinking rod does not work on some tob golems....grrrr............................

on sec level of watchers keep?? it did not hit the golems at all!!!!

i think it does not work on adamantium golems, you need +3 to hit, and the rod i think is only +2...

The Rod of Smiting is a +3 weapon, so it will hit iron and adamantite golems. The problem with it is that it allows a saving throw vs. death, and iron and adamantite golems have decent saving throws.
