But being an IRON GOLEM, makes you immune to magic. So even items do not work.

I think this is opened to interpretation, but this is why I was thinking of mounts or vehicles because it sidesteps this issue entirely.

There's a lot of room to interpret that ruling.

Many magic items affect you without actually casting a spell on you. A ring of energy resistance doesn't actually cast resist energy. The golem's immunity to spells shouldn't kick in for such things. But if the item's description says "can cast feather fall on the wearer 1/day" it would fail on a golem wearer, since feather fall allows spell resistance. If it just makes you fall slowly without casting the spell, it would work for the golem. At least that's my interpretation.

There's some ambiguity here as well, since it specifically says "an iron golem is immune to spells or spell-like abilities that allow spell resistance." So if an item doesn't allow spell resistance, it should work. Again, my interpretation.

Ultimately I'd say this is 100% the GM's call.

I agree, the argument to me it seems that it depends on how far the aura of "antimagic" around the a golem extends. After all if an iron Golem grabs a magical weapon it doesn't turn the magic off.

Name effect/spell that does not allow spell resistance ? (Outside mythic spells)

[Eros Angel]

 Cloudkill is a good attack spell that doesn't. I think what I want to do with Adam is add powers storyline to him as we go, when the other PC's level up have the spell casters make alterations to him etc. Add a haste effect, the advanced simple template, whatever we work out. Dozle has a hard time with rules so I try to keep it easy for him.

[Dozle The Crusader]

sorry im a poor soul 

[IsabellaRose]

Black tentacles!

(yes, I know I have a thing with tentacles, and no, I'm not admitting that it started in a ttRPG campaign years ago when someone used a black tentacles spell on my character)

[Eros Angel]

It's all good Dozle

[MIroque]

Add-ons like warforged would be good way to go I think. 

 

[Eros Angel]

I was thinking that at first, not sure might keep it even more simple, we will decide more when it's time to level

My character is going to take Craft Golem, and the required skill Craft (Sculpture), but that is a few levels away, if you wish when I rework for improve initiative I can fit this earlier.

[Eros Angel]

If you would like. That works for me well.

Done!

For anyone interested changed two feats (Improved Initiative and Quick Draw for Eschew Materials and Craft Construct not a 1-1 change), my two traits and moved some skills around loosing three languages, some ride/swim skill so i could get the Craft Sculpture skill.

@DozleZabie2 As soon as you can afford the 500,000gp we are making you and Adamantine body, and a few other improvements...

[MagnificentBastard]

@GM Angel Can I/we see the hound? I have an Evil alignment, I am guessing i still take the damage?

[Eros Angel]

No one can see the hound as it is actually in El'lieral's head, though that doesn't necessarily mean it isn't real. As you have an Evil Alignment you suffer no ill effects from the vile word.

[MagnificentBastard]

@GM Angel Not even the Sonic Damage? I suddenly feel over powered

[Eros Angel]

haha nope, and don't worry about being overpowered this is just the games beginning You will need all your resources and problem solving skills

[MagnificentBastard]

@GM Angel So... About surrendering after threatening to kill me... I get OOC that she is being controlled but I don't think my character knows that.

[Eros Angel]

Do what you like it's a free country

[MagnificentBastard]

Well is not my turn unless combat has ended. To be honest not sure if its a good idea to keep her alive but I can't help but think she is on a suicide run and if I kill her she explodes or something.

[Eros Angel]

I meant when your turn comes up again, unless you personally accept her surrender then the combat ends.

She is following a Goddess that wants to kill/destroy literally everything and she was surprisingly easy to defeat, can you blame me for being suspicious.

[Eros Angel]

oh I'm just teasing lol, and yeah, stay on your toes in this game, you never know what might happen =D
