Baldur's Gate (1998)
This icon indicates content from the original Baldur's Gate campaign. In the original Baldur's Gate, the weapon's additional 1d8 damage is slashing, not fire.
Trivia[]
Doom guards aren't of any race or class in the original Baldur's Gate. Although Flesh Golems are encountered in the game, true golems were only introduced with its successor, Shadows of Amn. The Enhanced Edition uses these resources and gives Doom guards a true construct-like status, while simultaneously changing their gender from neither to male – an exception amongst golems, which tend to have the former one.
