Doom Guard

Doom Guards are monstrous creatures, encountered in Baldur's Gate.

Gameplay

 * Besides 50% resistances against fire and cold, Doom Guards are completely immune to missile weapons and can only be injured in melee combat or through magic.
 * Their effective Armor Class, including the Dexterity bonus and equipment (see below), adds up to -4, while their own effective THAC0 would be 11.
 * See the last item below for a list of a Doom Guard's status effect immunities.

Equipment

 * Note: None of a Doom Guard's items will be dropped after defeating it.


 * Flame Blade – An impressively looking Long Sword, that does slashing rather than fire damage.
 * Large Shield – A Large Shield that lacks the additional -1 AC bonus against piercing weapons.
 * Plate Mail – A purely cosmetic Plate Mail, regarding the Doom Guard's natural AC of 0.
 * Helmet – A helmet which looks like the Eyes of Truth or a Gift of Peace, the latter totally disregarding this creature's attitude.
 * Ring – A valuable piece of jewelry that applies immunities to Berserk, Charm, Confusion, Fatigue, Panic, Paralyze, Petrification, Poison, Slay and Sleep.

Trivia

 * Technically Doom Guards aren't of any race or class.
