Demonflesh Golem (Rank 5)


- Demonflesh golems can survive in fire-permeated areas.
- [5 EP] Rage - Grants +(CL / 5) Str/Dex/Con and -2 Dodge AC. Grants base physical damage bonus equal to Wis modifier.
- [1 EP] Infesting Touch (Shadow Attack) - Decreases target Conc/Disc by (Foci) for (Foci + 1d3) rounds. Requires LFFC1.
- [1 EP] Focused Immunity (Protection Aura) - This aura requires LFFC1, and grants the shifter 100% damage immunity and 100/- resistance to the selected element. The element protected against is selected via chat command:
!damac - acid
!damco - cold
!damel - electric
!damfi - fire
!damso - sonic

- Weapon buffs on the shifters base weapon shift over to enhance Demonflesh Golems
- With LFFC1 Demonflesh golems get an additional attack per round.

The language 'Weapon buffs on the shifters base weapon shift over to enhance Demonflesh Golems' is the same as the other classes where the weapon AB does translate (namely human forms plus risen lord)


Below is a screenshot of me pre-shifted where you cna see my weapon is providing AB, and then post shifted where it does not.

I notice the other day the AB is pretty low on any form that doesn't wield a weapon as only those wielding a weapon get the benefit of any GMW at least according to the "!list ab" command. The forms I found with this were the Humanoid forms, Minotaur, Drider, & Risen Lord the build I tested on does not have Outsider so I did not test any of those forms.

the form does not wield a weapon. why would it receive gmw bonus for unarmed attacks?

The wording on the forums for the class lead me to believe they would... In particular the line specific to weapon buffs specifically enhancing demonflesh golem. It seems this is only the case for elemental damage buffs.




It's a bit of a shame... without enchantment bonuses, the form is hard to make viable for limbo. Not being able to overcome soak, and having low AB means i'll probably have to abandon the concept.

I did some testing, the !list ab does not show the magic bonus, but it is still being applied. I tested by hitting a practice dummy the practice arena. The !list ab for my test was 84 while in demonflesh golem shape, it did not show that I had +18 from a limbo 1 weapon equipped. The first attack roll in the first flurry is 102, so that adds up to what it should be.
