John W. Mangrum's Iron Golem Lore^[1]

Monster Manual (under Golem)

Characters with ranks in Knowledge (arcana) can learn more about iron golems. When a character makes a successful skill check, the following lore is revealed, including the information from lower DCs.

DC 23: This massive metal figure is an iron golem. This result reveals all construct traits.

DC 28: An iron golem attacks by smashing foes with its powerful fists. It is immune to almost all forms of magic, and its iron body deflects most attacks. However, adamantine weapons can prove effective, and electricity slows the creature for a few moments.

DC 33: Rather than damaging it, magical fire actually repairs an iron golem and breaks any slow effect currently affecting it.

DC 38: An iron golem can spew a cone of lethal poisonous gas at nearby foes. The golem is affected normally by magical rust effects, such as a rusting grasp spell.
