MOONTOUCHED GOLEM OF SELÛNE

This golem was created by Selûne herself and protects the Gates of the Moon, the entry way into the base of the Infinite Staircase.  This was another creature I didn’t not have to convert, for one I could have used the iron golem straight out of the MM and added abilities on the fly.  Secondly, I doubted my players would have attacked it anyway.  But it was fun nonetheless to convert it.

The Shard that was guiding them told the group to state their purpose for entering Selûne’s realm.  At first they were flippant – until the silvery giant turned one of its arms into a great silver-sword burning with moonlight.  They then become a bit more polite and were granted entry.

Magic Resistance. The golem has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Hit: 20 (3d8 + 7) radiant damage. If the target is a creature or a flammable object, it ignites. Until a creature takes an action to douse the fire , the target takes 5 (1d10) fire damage at the start of each of its turns.
