What's the strongest type of golem in the history of all /tg/?
>>47595246
Neutronium Golem.
>>47595246
Do you mean fantasy? Sci-fi? Actual historical golems? Physically strongest or most capable?
>>47595254
/thread
>>47595268
More fantasy, but I guess if you have a SF concept than I can just find an appropriate way to make it work in a fantasy setting.
I guess capability would be the most accurate term. I was thinking that the only synthetic being that would be capable of doing absolutely anything would be something like a golem made out of nanobots or else some sort of magical equivalent if you're in a fantasy setting.
>>47595254
Post the pic faggot.
>>47595338
I love weird Golems and Elementals of all sorts, but yeah, >>47595384 is probably the most powerful you'll ever get. The Immortals Handbook is a fucking trip.
>>47595246
Humans.
Demonbane
>>47595246
That planeswalker golem from MtG?
>>47595384
Wouldn't a version of this made out of neutronium nanobots be more powerful still? Or maybe just redundant.
>>47595492
The whole point of Neutronium/Neutron matter is that it's ultra-dense. An almost featureless compressed mass of neutrons, with none of the usual space between atoms. Putting aside the bizarre magic that could make such a thing intelligent, there's not really any space for some sort of particle based machinery to be going on.
>>47595384
Why have I never seen a GURPS statblock for a neutronium Golem?
Unobtainium Golem.
>>47595246
The invisible kind
Honorable mention for Amazo.
>>47597317
Jesus Christ
>>47597317
If I could pay you in laughter, I would.
>>47595930
Because GURPS is and has always been shit.
>>47597317
One of the best things I've ever read. Thanks for the kek, anon.
>>47595246NO.
>>47595254
shit i clicked in here to suggest a neutronium golem. beat me to it.
Either the neutronium golem or Numidium.
>>47595384
Golem aside, how the fuck did they calculate how much HP a planet has? and why is it so low?
>>47598689
'Calculate' is a very generous term for anything you found in the Immortals Handbook. The numbers in that fucking thing are practically meaningless.
>>47598689
The book is mostly a joke. I mean, you're still rolling a d20 with a modifier in the thousands.
>>47598733
Also a thought exercise. Really puts the good old "If it has stats, we can kill it." to test.
>>47595246
Probably one of those things from wonders of the lost age
>>47598394
who are these guys
>>47598994
I suspect various dwemer golems created to house the collective dwemer race as a living gestalt god using the Heart of Lorkan or something. I am never quite sure what I do and don't know about lore in The Elder Scrolls.
>>47599016
>I am never quite sure what I do and don't know about lore in The Elder Scrolls.
A sentiment we all share.
Nobody's mentioned the motherfucking calzone golem yet? It's delicious niggas! It's pizza sauce blood is ACID
>>47598994
Numidium, Ankhulakan, and some third one.
To sum up, one is capable of going NO to reality and erasing it, another can actively rewrite reality by forcing people to reach monstrous enlightenment, and I'm unsure of the third one.
>>47595384
jesus fucking christ
its worse than a final fantasy superboss
>>47599790
Isn't the third one an Imperfect or something?
>>47599867
except, in final fantasy, the bosses were culminate monsters that you spent 90+ hours powering up and chasing after to finally reach a thrilling conclusion. having them turn into god-killing abominations is just clutch.
with a tabletop, though? it's just as bad as those RPG maker games that try to do FF's superboss battles without any buildup
>>47595246
Toilet paper and butter
>>47598757
>It has HP!
>WE! CAN! KILL IT!!
>>47600075
>FF
>good
>>47598716
If it's got things in it that can fight monsters like that golem whose damage is measure in the hundreds of thousands and you can apparently take on an army of them, it must get pretty damn stupid.
>>47595465
In game terms the only creature Karn can't remove from spacetime is the one he can't find (target).
In lore terms Neutronium golem is probably more destructive than a fully-powered-up Eldrazi titan and beyond Karn's power to manipulate. I could be wrong though, Karn fucks with time and that's generally the only way to beat an unbeatable opponent (remember this isn't Karn vs timelords or universe vs universe, it's just who made the baddest golem).
>>47600075
But epic/immortal play is the TTRPG equivalent of a final-boss-final-form-overtime fight. Except that, as per the medium, it doesn't necessarily end.
>>47595246
In d&d I'd suggest a voidstone golem.
One time, I played a game my eight year old little brother wanted to GM.
The big bad of this three level campaign was a wizard golem. Not a flesh golem who was a wizard, but a thirty story tall golem made of live wizards bound together through magic.
Granted, most of this was just eight year old dorkiness, but just imagine a properly implemented wizard golem.
The absolute mayhem of such a monstrosity could quite possibly put amazo to shame. Think of all the wish spells thirty stories worth of fully sentient wizards stitched together like a horrifying, beard-covered Megazord could pull off.
>>47601830
That's pretty metal.It's a shame it never happened.
>>47601830
Stealing the fuck out of that. Captured minions will now almost nothing about the BBEG, just that he is "supposed to be some kind of wizard golem", they'll have no idea what they're in for and they will laugh about it for years.
This is better than the wight dragon.
>>47601929
Eh, of all the dumb shit /tg/ says happened, this is pretty believable
>>47602944
I think it's just a dumb thing to care about, RPGs produce insane and funny stories, I come here to hear insane and funny stories and to steal ideas from them, Wizard Golem sounds exactly like the kind of thing that would come out of a little brother's game but if it's just an anon making up fun stories for us then kudos to him.
>>47601830
This is the shit that gets screencapped and put on plebbit. Toppest of keks, anon. Thank you. My eyes are burning from the tears of laughter.
>>47598716
>>47598733
>>47598757
As much as I love the Immortals Handbook the higher powered stuff does get ridiculous if only because D20 cant handle that shit at all
But the lower end stuff like Prophets and Disciples for Mortal tier and Hero and Quasi Dieties for Immortals makes for some great Epic Level campaigns
>>47595384
>treasure: none
I don't know why but that one line amidst the mess of ridiculously high stats is hilarious.
>>47603139
IH is mechanically a clusterfuck, but it's a fantastic idea mine. I still find it tragic that the DM guide never came to be. I love gonzo cosmic bullshit, so a book of nothing but Nth dimensional hypergods and ultra high power adventure hooks would be right up my alley
>>47595384
Funnily enough you can still kill it at a rather low level with cheese.
Manipulating a sphere of annihilation + time stop + fire immunity so you can get near it can delete it from existence.
>>47604262
I know what you mean high concept metaphysical cosmic douche fuckery is my favorite shit
The only downside is finding a system that can competently run something like that that doesn't turn into roll 95621d100 for damage or my infinite stamina cancels out your infinite strength
>>47595246
>>47595254
>>47595284
>>47595384
Bitch please. Skub Golem all day, e'ry day.
>>47604378
Yes, using a wholly arbitrary artifact works, too bad there's no way in D&D or in Immortals Handbook to create one and it moves at FTL I think. Though the thing is 10x higher CR than it really should and generally doesn't jive with the rest of the setting.
I much prefer Orichalcum Constructs (aka The Destroyer from Thor), PCs can make them (unlike the Neutronium Golem) and they have a fun suite of abilities.
>>47595537
There is theories (and related scifi media) about life forms that would live on neutron stars, whose biology weren't based on chemistry, but nuclear processes. The book is called Dragon's Egg.
>>47604385
To be honest, I doubt even the most OTP IH campaign would run into infinite strength type stuff, because that's 200 divine ability slots, or 1200 feats, to get infinite strength.
>>47604164
You're right, that's gold.
>>47595384
Looking over the stats I'm surprised the golem doesn't have Uncanny Atomic Mastery as a player receives that ability free with the Neutronium Body ability
>>47604378
You still have to take thousands upon thousands of points of damage...
>>47604479
It all comes down to scale anon.
To an ant we are nothing but infinite stat-line monsters so enormous that we dwell in the heavens yet our feet remain on the ground.
Yet to each other we are just a base stat-line.
A game about celestial higher planes, is essentially Normal RPing, or morally acceptable "can't beat me" DMing; depending wether you are gods among gods or just humans.
>>47604164
Wouldn't its corpse be pretty valuable?
>>47605230
You apparently didn't read the line that says when you kill it it self destructs in a 150 petaton nuclear holocaust
>>47605139
That is why I'm starting to look to games with a sliding scale for stats
Numbers stay the same but the meaning shifts
so you go from kicking down a door to kicking down the building to kicking down the planet all with roughly the same numerical value for your stat
>>47605230
Not when it's constantly exploding
Neutronium has a half life of 10 minutes, 100 kilograms will release the equivalent energy of one megaton of TNT in 10 minutes.
The golem is significantly more than 100 kilos.
Once the magic keeping it together is gone from killing it, it explodes. Constantly.
>>47595942
Daily reminder that unobtanium is actual mining jargon for any hard to find/very rare mineral, not a specific substance.
