Death Throes (Ex) A brass golem explodes when it is destroyed. All creatures within 30 feet of the golem take 28d4 points of fire damage (DC 39 Reflex for half). The save DC is Strength-based.     Immunity to Magic (Ex) A brass golem is immune to spells or spell-like abilities that allow spell resistance. Certain spells and effects function differently against it, as noted below. A magical attack that deals cold damage slows a brass golem (as the slow spell) for 1 round per 10 points of cold damage, with no saving throw. A magical attack that deals fire damage breaks any slow effect on the golem and heals 1 point of damage for each 3 points of damage the attack would otherwise deal. If the amount of healing would cause the golem to exceed its full normal hit points, it gains any excess as temporary hit points. A brass golem gets no saving throw against fire effects.
