Aren't the bludgeoning, slashing, and piercing from non-magical non-adamantine weapons usually a resistance, not an immunity for golems?

Your heal on cold damage references lightning damage.

I think Ice Shards and the normal attacks look good.

Formatting is a little hard to read. If you edit it with Bold or using Header tags you can make sections more clearly separated.

Nope the book states immunity.

Yup it sure does (Most because it is, well along with acid absorption, and fire absorption). All but one golem has an absorption ability, besides, it's from lore that it has this ability.

I usually do that but today I've been busy, busy making more and more translations, reskins, and full on building from ancient burial ground materials.

I would say both of these should allow a save for half damage instead of just straight up dealing damage with no chance to avoid it.

I had that at first but was told to take it away and add damage to make the CR the way I wanted.

And now that I think about it I have to think up of the Golem Manuel version for it as well How could I have forgotten!?

(That was me).

Damage auras typically don't offer a save, but the attack should. I didn't notice that it was auto-hit before... probably because of the save vs. blindness. Definitely add in a Dex save for half damage.

For no particular reason:

o/` Do you want to kill a snowman? o/`

[RavenJovan]

add in a Dex save for half damage.

KK two saves for one attack coming right up

As currently written, the absorption only works if you're hit by cold and lightning simultaneously. The trigger is taking cold damage, but you heal equal to the lighting damage dealt. AFAIK, nothing in the game does those two simultaneously, so it's just immune to cold

-_- you could have just said I had a typo...

[PotatoGolem]

Sorry! From your reply earlier I thought you wanted it to do something with lightning as well. Something like for x rounds after taking cold damage, absorption from lightning. Makes some sense- from my limited understanding, cold improves conductivity.
