*** In 3rd Edition onward, this is simplfied by assigning types to monsters and stating that certain types are immune to certain things. For example, Contructs (of which golems are a part of) is
Immunity to all mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, phantasms, patterns, morale effects) even if they do have an intelligence score, poison, sleep-causing effects, paralysis, stunning, disease, death effects, necromancy effects, critical hits, nonlethal damage, ability damage, ability drain, fatigue, exhaustion, or energy drain, any effect that requires a Fortitude save, unless said effect works on nonliving objects. On the other hand, they cannot be healed (naturally or by magic, but they can be repaired), cannot be raised from the dead (because they were never alive to begin with) and while they cannot be killed by massive damage, they are immediately destroyed when reduced to 0 hp or less.
** But then any wizard can bypass SR if they're properly prepared, and there's a ton of spells that ignore SR anyways.
** There's also the psion-killer (psions basically being wizards using MP instead of [[Vancian Magic]]), a golem specifically designed, as one might infer, to kill psions (and by extension wizards/sorcerers).
