    This week BioWare provided us with something much better than another Hordes of the Underdark spell - the full scoop on the fearsome Adamantine Golem!

    Adamantine Golem

    The Adamantine Golem is truly one of the most feared and unstoppable juggernauts in existence. Adamantium is one of the hardest substances known within the world of Dungeons & Dragons. Only the really hardcore magic-using uber-nerd would even attempt to mess with this stuff to create a golem. Success would elevate the creator into the near-unreachable stratosphere of magic-using heights such that all the other magic-using nerds would only be capable of making that incoherent wailing sound through the nose when they saw him:

    First magic-using nerd: (walks into the main room at the ‘House of Fantastic Nerds’ with Adamantine Golem holding his groceries)
    All other magic-using nerds: (make that incoherent wailing sound through their nose).

    AC: 38
    Hit Points: 220

    Abilities:
    Str 51
    Dex 9
    Con 10
    Int 10
    Wis 11
    Char 3

    CR: 32
    Alignment: True Neutral
    Class: 40 Construct
    Special Abilities: Immunities

    Check out these two shots of the monster: Shot #1 and Shot #2!

    CR 40? I'm not impressed. AC 38 is not all that high; A level 25 fighter should probably have at least a +35 to hit on his base attack, which means he can expect to hit it 2.1 times per round, 3.0 times if hasted (counting iterative attacks). Similarly, 220 HP is very light for that level. While a typical golem's magical immunities will shut down rogues and wizards, a couple of fighters ought to be able to bring it down easily.

    Or am I the nerd here?
