larger ones. Size will also affect the entity’s Offensive

6.1.3 INITIAL DESIGN STEPS FOR
CONSTRUCTS
Step 1: Shape
What form will the Construct take The nature of a
Construct provides it with greater flexibility in the movement
of its various body parts. Conversely this demands
greater skill and more potent enchantments from the
creator to enable the Construct to move as gracefully as
the living creature it imitates. Creators can choose to
fashion humanoid, beast or weirder forms. The more
esoteric the form, the more difficult it will be to make.
This choice sets the base creation level of the Construct.
Step 2: Material
Which material will be used to make the Construct
All Constructs are made from metals and/or alloys with
gemstones used for eyes. The choice of material will
determine the cost of the Construct and modify its
creation level. Superior alloys and magical metals will
provide specific bonuses to the entity, such as increasing
particular stats.
Step 3: Size
How big will the Construct be The size will determine
the volume of material needed to make it (and hence the
cost). Smaller Constructs are easier to build than larger
ones. Size in conjunction with shape will determine the
Construct’s initial stats.

section 6.1.4.
6.1.4 REMAINING DESIGN STEPS
Step 4: Modifications
Is the Entity to be stronger or weaker than the average
specimen of its material, shape, and size Creators can
choose to fashion faster, tougher, or deadlier entities
than the norm, raising the Entity’s effective creation
level. Alternatively they may create a weaker Entity (and
reduce its creation level).
Omit Step 5 for Golems.
Step 5: Mechanical Abilities.
Is the Construct to possess any inherent mechanical
devices This includes such contraptions as chestmounted
crossbows, poison reservoirs, suction cups for
climbing, and so on. Golems may not have mechanical
abilities.
Step 6: Magical Abilities
Is the Entity to possess magical abilities If so, will these
abilities use charges or will they be daily or as constant
powers Adding such powers to an Entity will increase
its creation level and require the creator to have access to
the Golem Magic or Construct Magic spell lists.
Step 7: Glyph of Control
Does the creator wish to inscribe or etch a Glyph of
Control onto the Entity The advantages of this spell are
that the Entity cannot be possessed by a spirit without its
creator’s permission and it will be forever obedient to its
master. The disadvantage is that if the physical glyph is
defaced, then the Entity will either be deanimated or will
malfunction.
Formula for Golem Creation Level
Golem Creation Level
= ((base level from materials plus shape modifier)
times Size modifier)
plus any modifiers from statistics modifiers
plus for each charged power: ((level of the imbedded
spell) x 0.5)
plus for each daily power: ((level of the imbedded
spell) x 0.75)
plus for each constant power: ((level of the imbedded
spell) x 1).
Formula for Construct Creation Level
Construct Creation Level
= ((base level from shape plus materials modifier)
times Size modifier)
plus any modifiers from statistics modifiers
plus +1 for each mechanical ability
plus for each charged power: ((level of the imbedded
spell) x 0.5)
plus for each daily power: ((level of the imbedded
spell) x 0.75)
plus for each constant power: ((level of the imbedded
spell) x 1).
Encounter Level versus Creation Level
For Tiny or Small Entities, the encounter level equals
creation level divided by 5.
For Medium Entities, the encounter level equals creation
level divided by 4.
For Large Entities, the encounter level equals creation
level divided by 3.
For Huge Entities, the encounter level equals the
creation level divided by 2.
Round up any fractional levels.
