Cold (Ex)

An ice golem’s body generates intense cold, dealing 1d6 points of damage with its touch. Creatures attacking an ice golem unarmed or with natural weapons take this same cold damage each time one of their attacks hit.

Immunity to Magic (Ex)

An ice golem is immune to any spell or spell-like ability that allows spell resistance. In addition, certain spells and effects function differently against the creature, as noted below.

Lightning-based effects slow an ice golem (as the spell) for 2d6 rounds. Cold-based effects heal all of its lost hit points.

ECOLOGY

Environment any
Organization solitary
Treasure none

The ice golem is a humanoid formed of roughly chiseled ice, standing 10 feet tall and weighing around 800 pounds. Ice golems at rest appear to be normal ice sculptures and are often mistaken as such (DC 20 Perception check to notice the creature is alive).

An ice golem usually opens combat with its breath weapon. An ice golem never uses weapons or wears armor, preferring to attack with its powerful fists. Fire is an effective means of combating these creatures.

Construction

An ice golem’s body must be constructed from a single block of ice weighing at least 1,000 pounds. The ice is treated with magical powders and unguents worth at least 500 gp.
