Giant Golem (5e Template)

Sometimes, golems are made larger than usual. These golems are stronger and hardier than lesser specimens, but also more expensive to produce. It takes double the time and gp to create a giant golem.

Any golem.

CR Calculation
Recalculate the creature's CR with the following considerations:

- Increase AC by 1 (from AC increase).
- Increase effective damage per-round damage by the amount listed in the trait (from Brute and Multiattack).
