Construct help/suggestions
I am nearly level 20 in a campaign that I am playing in and I have quite a bit of GP laying around. Can anyone suggest a nice construct, even a custom one? Money is almost no object since I rarely ever buy anything and I just hoard all of my wealth. (Playing a Warlock, staying out of harm's way!)
My character is tiny sized so I am thinking maybe some sort of construct that I can actually get inside of and ride around like a Gundam suit lol...
Suggestions? I've looked through the various Monster Manuals but none of them really have spoken to me yet. Also, what are some lesser-known yet cool things you can enchant your constructs with?

Buy a ML 15 psychoactive skin of proteus (made with the Words of Creation and Reserves of Strength feats, to make it ML 19 or so) and dip into a psionic manifesting class, taking the Psicrystal Affinity feat for a psicrystal? It can use the skin to turn into all the constructs! Even animated objects! Which means it can be damned near anything at all.
If you dip into ardent, you can even boost your starting ML to get higher level powers so you don't fall behind quite as much.Last edited by MaxiDuRaritry; 2019-05-21 at 01:38 AM.

Re: Construct help/suggestions
Psionics are off of the table and I also cannot afford to take any more crafting feats.

Re: Construct help/suggestions
Templated effigies. I'm AFB now, but do effigies retain Swallow Whole? If so, you get both your wishes at once.

Re: Construct help/suggestions
What sorts of templates are you talking about?

Re: Construct help/suggestions
I'm still in the dark as to what templates I can apply to effigies and how it affects price. Help anyone?

Re: Construct help/suggestions
You can apply as many templates as you want, as long as the final type still fulfills the pre-requisites for applying the effigy template.
That's the thing: you calculate the price normally based on the body size and HD, regardless of how broken the templated version is.
I suggest Monstrous Crab, maybe Huge Dungeonbred+Tauric to add a creature with Swallow Whole for you to get inside.

A Max Hit Die Hellfire Golem (Fiend Folio)
1. It has 3.0 Spell Immunity so it's immune to all supernatural and spell effects instead of just spells. DM might rule otherwise.
2. It has INT So it gets Epic Feats.
So completely forget about all the SLA or attack options the golem has. Give it something like Gloves of Endless Javelins and epic feats like Distant Shot and Perfect Two Weapon Fighting and you got a robot that can shoot javelins like a machine gun at infinite distance.
There's only a real handful of constructs that have Int scores. I only count 2 that can get epic feats: Hellfire Golem and Demonflesh Golem.
You might need to give it some +6 stat items to meet the prerequisites of the epic feats.Last edited by RoboEmperor; 2019-05-22 at 05:56 AM.

Re: Construct help/suggestions
What are your available sources? What would you like the construct to do (being tiny it would be complicated to find one not large enough for you to ride)?
Thanks a lot Gengy for the awesome... just a sec... avatar. :)

Re: Construct help/suggestions
Pretty much any official 3.5 material and certain homebrew as long as it is reasonable/balanced and I get DM approval. As far as what I'd like it to do, I am not entirely sure yet. I just got the idea to make a construct the other day and I'm still exploring the whole idea since I have never played a character that got much into crafting... much less a character this high of level with this much wealth.
