    I don't get this part. I don't see any aura dealing divine damage on either crab.
    Ah, I'm talking about the Neutronium Golem, not the crabs.

    Heh.

    For the crabs, I think my solution would be force cage, followed by the creation of the order of mages who force cage crabs for the safety of all humanity.

    Ah, I'll agree with you there. Thing has just big numbers and really no way to bypass magic combos.

    Unless we play a little with the absurd number of feats it gets.

    Oh, it could be rebuilt to be truly nasty, I have no doubt of that.

    I'd rather just start fresh if inventing a monster, though. I don't want to have to explain the existance of wizards with caster levels over 9000. The resulting DBZ jokes alone would make it not worthwhile.

    Dimensional door SLA. You'll have to do better than that.
    Hmm. Well, it'll work for Helcaerfax. It's spellcrab buddy, though, will be a problem. Standing back(flying) and orbing it to death is likely the smart move. I don't believe it can fly.

    Wait....so you're saying trip him in space with a marble? Or get him to hit the marble? Because the laws of physics (specifically, Newton's 3rd) have somthing to say about trying to kill him by running him into a marble...and I don't think falling damage applies in space where gravity is only present in close proximity to stars/planets...

    Yup, you missed the point. This is D&D. Physics has no place here.

    All that I say applies only to myself. You author your own actions and choices. I cannot and will not be responsible for you, nor are you for me, regardless of situation or circumstance.

    Well, in fairness, even in reality, a marble travelling at the speed of light would still leave a rather substantial mark. =)

    But yeah, it's actually just an abuse of falling damage. 20d6+d6/200lbs to both objects.

    So, the marble gets destroyed too.

    And in reality, a golem made out of neutronium would utterly ignore everything short of MORE neutronium or a black hole. Your point?

    So, the marble gets destroyed too.
    Poor marble, it never wanted to get involved in this sorta thing. It just wanted to find a nice marble-lady and settle down, have a few marble-kids and live a nice happy life.

    Well, if you're gonna break out the "in reality a marble..." I can do the same thing with neutronium (a real material, after all).

    Neither is, strictly speaking, falling though.

    At best I could see you taking advantage of the Ramming rules. You'd need a small and unobtrusive vehicle rather than a marble. For those with Arms and Equipment Guide easily accessible, is ramming damage uncapped?

    It seems like it would actually be pretty easy to kill a neutronium golem with a Mace of Smiting.

    Demilich would be modded, no? Or do you mean specifically the sample demilich?

    The sample Demilich has 21st level wizard casting, magic immunity, and a supernatural ability that eats your soul. Even without modding it's pretty brutal.

    Based upon my experiance, The imp, its listed as a CR 2, it has;
    fast healing (2)
    DR 5/good or silver
    invisibility AT WILL
    Poison Injury, Fortitude DC 13, initial damage 1d4 Dex, secondary damage 2d4 Dex. The save DC is Constitution-based and includes a +2 racial bonus
    Fly(perfect) 50ft

    2nd level characters rarely have silver weapons, or good aligned so they will do little damage. It has fast healing, so even if you hit it it will get better. It can turn invisible at will to heal up if it DOES take any kind of real damage, or heck, just to pot shot unsuspecting foes. The poisoned attacks will eventually cripple your members one by one reducing their ability to dodge with each failed roll. and to top it all off, it fly's at 50ft(perfect) so you cant even run away from it.

    Ok, then it's only fair we apply that logic to caster as well.

    The wizard teleports? Moving at infinite speed. There's a bug at the end location? Wizard dies in a splatter of blood.

    There are a series of spells in the one of the eberron books that removes various aspects of the construct immunities depending on which you use. The highest of the bunch basically strips them all :).

    Simplest way to defeat the golem that comes to mind is to just build 2 more.
    The following sentence is true. The previous sentence is false.


    What is best in life?
    To win initiative, to roll natural 20s, and to hear the lamentations of the GM.
