Greensteel Golems in mod9

[Angelus_dead]

A fast suggestion for devs:

Remember to put Green Steel constructs as opponents in module 9 shavarath sections. Some of them can be iron golems in a new texture, or like earth elementals of an evil ore, and some can be clusters of hovering weapons and shrapnel... but all of them should get seriously healed by attacks from Green Steel weapons.

[Xithos]

I like the suggestion; would probably be a neat looking/challening opponent and would hopefully make Transmuting of Greater Construct Bane a little more useful than what it is currently

[frugal_gourmet]

Ahahaha. That is genius.

I like that.

[Angelus_dead]

Oh and it goes without saying, that they can have Unholy Evil Burst Acid Blast Transmuting Flaming Radiance Disintegration on their natural weapons..

type: greensteelconstruct

not: construct


no greater banes here cheaters!

[sirgog]

Ouch. That's an evil suggestion...


Without supporting the 'healed by greensteel weapons' thingy, I like the rest of this idea, however. Golems with a variety of savage attack forms - e.g. a Radiance greensteel golem that deals 1d6 Fire damage on a hit, plus has Goodburst - neutral characters beware, and procs a light ray that deals damage and blinds on a 15-20 crit - would be cool. Can you say OUCH?


A couple ideas follow:


Supreme Tyrant Greensteel Golem of Ash

Hehehe.... Added some loot too, so maybe these won't seem so evil.

Here's a little fella you don't want to encounter in a dark alley - especially not in an antimagic zone.


Supreme Tyrant Greensteel Golem of Negative Energy

[Arkat]

Make sure they have all the Guards like Slay Living Guard, Radiance Guard, etc.

Cool idea A_D.

[sirgog]

And one last one. Possibly the most evil of all.

You'll never encounter this one in a dark alley. Even if you did, the alley wouldn't be dark for long.


Supreme Tyrant Greensteel Golem of Radiance

Excellent and evil idea. Didn't think of that.

Cannot be bothered modifying 5 stat blocks to add them in, however

[Aerniel]

i think the loot rate should be WAY higher >_> but that just my two cp

[Uska]

I cant belive I am saying this but I like this idea

[sirgog]

That's a 5% loot rate for a manufactured ingredient (worth 4 normal ingredients) - I'll take those odds

[Lorien_the_First_One]

I LOVE the idea of GS Golems that are healed by attacks with GS weapons. Even if its only 1D6 healing. It will make the min maxers NUTS.

[SableShadow]

Hilarious idea.

Horrible idea if serious.

Introducing new grind mechanics is something Turbine seems pretty much set on, to give us folks with way too much time on our hands something to do...throwing negatives onto a grind item isn't going to make people any happier with grinding.

What would be next? "Draco-Rust Monsters" that eat dragonscale armors?

[Vorn]

You people have the kinds of minds that I delighted in as a DM...creating far more challenging things than I could ever come up with on my own!


It does sort of make sense from a narrative sense that shroud items might have some unexpected properties in Shavarroth--maybe that non-cleansed items wouldn't even equip? Yuck!!!

I guess they could make the g.s. weapons cleansable (sp?) in order to remove the undesirable effect--that would mean another 20 shroud runs per weapon...yuck!!!

[Angelus_dead]

That wouldn't happen, but you might have a trap or enemy spell that inflicts caster level * 1d6 * (1+ number of greensteel items) hitpoint damage on the targets.
