    How do you beat the iron golems? I noticed that slashing damage works with a good weapon and some muscle but so far everyone ends up dead.

    Can I modify the primary traits (Eg - Charisma) on my party? If so,how?

    Well, any weapon will work well, as long as it's +3 or better. Anything else won't even make the golem flinch.

    Two words: sneak attack. Your theif is your best friend here. Just buff him up, occupy the golem with fodder, plant your theif behind him, and go to town. He just romped all over me until I realized golems can be sneak attacked.

    Easy way would be...

    Place your party before your most useless character in fight will actually loot the tomb (rogue open/disarm before).

    Place 2 summoned monsters close to each 3 Golem you are not focusing on first.

    Surround the last golem with group, you need +3 or better weapons...you can go in the underdark first, they sell many +3 or better weapons there.(just the next stage, so not much of a walk back after). Put your tanking character the closest to the golem before looting in the middle, it should make him tank and take the dommage and not whoever is closest. When this golem is dead, go surround another and take the time necessary to place you tank closest even if you lose a few attack, getting attacks on wrong character from a golem is not fun. If your group is strong enought, you can divide the party on 2 golems and proceed that way...or even more...but...this is the easy way. Make your wizards/sorcerer replace the monsters that died and maybe the cleric, but overheal instead of trying to be spell efficient, wasting a spell is better then reloading, your time as a human >>>> your party time on the save game.

    Of course haste prior the looting, and any other nice group buff you have. GreatAxe, Halberd, Lance & GreatSword are your friends, in that order fr massive damage, dual wielding is a lot less efficient in the long run for massive damage, it is good at the start of the game, but the more you gain levels, the more you rather be using a 2hand weapons, GreatAxe or Halberd if possible...as long as they are +3 or better.

    Sneak attack should not work on Golems and if it work, I humbly suggest you try not doing it, yet, as a last resort, use it, but...this would be using a breach not intended in the game, a last resort solution and not a first option.

    In HoF mode, just use the Kegsplitter of Shaengarne on them. One hit = instant death.
