The SRD Stone Golem is slightly too powerfull for the challenge i intended. I want to make it a CR 9.
I have given it 12HD and a bonus HP of 20, which means it goes from 107 hp to 86 hp, it will stay large.
I reduced it's natural armor by 2.
I reduced it's DR from 10/adamantine to 8/adamantine.
Because of the lost HD i reduced it's BAB by 1, it also loses 3 STR.
It's attacks therefore go from +18 (2d10+9) to +16 (2d10+8).
It also loses it's "Slow" ability.
Does this justify going from CR11 to CR9?
<edit> also, does the fact that we have no real casters (3 melee, 1 archer, 1 rogue, 1 bard) make this encounter easier?
