| Feb 22, 2023 at 7:36 | comment | added | Xisnue | The article does seem to imply they are deliberately made, however the YouTube video on the monster suggests they can come from wizard negligence. Either could be a case why the Palimpsest specifically has a fire immunity. And while a Golem isn't a 1-1, I've considered whoever is making a golem is deliberately designing. Each golem has uniqueness to their vulnerabilities/resistanced. I figured a wizard is already aware of how their spellbook (among other propety) takes a Fireball, and would prefer their defenses to not be an arsonist wet dream. | |

| Feb 22, 2023 at 7:08 | comment | added | Xisnue | @Pyrotechnical currently online calculators put its cr at 4, I Wouldn't want the cr to be above 6. Unfortunately immunities aren't factors in a lot of cr calculations due to some issues you brought up in your answer on the other page. The example Rouge encounter wasn't 1v1, it was 1v5. I'll try to link something on the Palimpsest, probably down here to avoid any premature edits. | |

| Feb 21, 2023 at 15:10 | comment | added | Pyrotechnical | You have indicated that you're shooting for CR 5-6 in one part of your discussion and CR4 elsewhere. Which are you aiming for? | |
| Feb 21, 2023 at 15:09 | comment | added | Pyrotechnical | Previously, you've described as wanting this to be the goblin of golems, which I understood to be encountered in groups and easily dispatched. Your playtesting indicates that this monster has the opportunity to be very difficult for a Rogue to handle in a 1 on 1 scenario. This doesn't suggest a creature fitting the goblin of golems. Are you abandoning that goal? | |
| Feb 21, 2023 at 15:00 | comment | added | Pyrotechnical | I should've asked this question with the original question, but can you please provide a link that describes in greater detail what a Palimpset is? You'd stated that it's a spell scroll that eats people, but is this some type of folklore? When I did a Google search, I ended up on a Wikipedia article discussing a manuscript page. This is clearly a key element that's important to you, so it will be helpful to try and close this knowledge gap. | |

| Feb 21, 2023 at 6:19 | comment | added | Xisnue | @ThomasMarkovi feel like I've explained the sources of the immunities, idk everything there is to know about constructs as a monster type, but I do understand Golems are more resilient than the sum of their parts. If a Palimpsest isn't even a golem and made out of the same material, but somehow more tanky. I feel like that should be something I can explain to a player. | |
| Feb 20, 2023 at 21:20 | comment | added | Thomas Markov | I've voted to reopen, I see no reason for this to be closed. Molot's request about clarification on the immunity choices would be helpful, but is not a barrier to this being an answerable question. | |

| Feb 19, 2023 at 9:01 | comment | added | Xisnue | I'm confused what additional clarity is needed, there is 5 specific questions asked within the new version of this post. Can I rephrase or reformat it? Is there something I missed with these guidelines: rpg.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/8121/… | |

Needs details or clarity | |
| Feb 18, 2023 at 18:50 | comment | added | Xisnue | Would it be out of bounds to add italics or some other emphasis to the paragraph about the Fire Immunity? Or even the question block before the Description? | |
| Feb 18, 2023 at 18:37 | comment | added | Xisnue | @Mołot I did explain the fire immunity in this post. Nonmagical Slashing immunity is something every golem has, I considered this to be a weak enough golem to remove that immunity. | |

| Feb 18, 2023 at 9:48 | comment | added | Mołot | Some explanation why you decided to keep fire immunity and slashing resistance, even when people told you to make it vulnerable to fire and resistant to all but slashing under your original question would be in order. You probably don't need the same advice under every iteration. Especially when you tagged it with immunities, so this is bound to be a point of interest. | |
