TABLE 6.6 CONSTRUCT MATERIALS AND SIZE VERSUS CONSTRUCT’S CONCUSSION HITS
Material Tiny Small Medium Large Huge
Adamantium 60 120 240 480 720
Brass 18 36 72 144 216
Bronze 20 45 90 180 270
Eog 75 150 300 600 900
Iron 30 60 120 240 360
Steel 35 75 150 300 450
Steel II 35 75 150 300 450
Steel III 35 75 150 300 450
Steel IV 35 75 150 300 450
Example: The Warrior Construct is to be Medium in
size. The archmage would like to make it Large (11
x1.5 = 17.5, rounded to 18) or Huge (11 x2 = 22) but
he would then be unable to make other improvements
and additions – remember that he is limited to
creating Constructs of a creation level equal to or less
than the highest Construct # spell he knows. The
Warrior Construct has Armor Type 20, +10 bonuses
to all OBs and DB, and 150 concussion hits.
Example: The witch decides that her Shark Construct
will be Large in size, giving a creation level of
9 (6 x1.5). A Huge Shark Construct might find it
difficult to pursue foes into really shallow waters and
that would defeat the witch’s purpose. The Shark
Construct has Armor Type 20, no modifiers to OBs or
DB, and 180 concussion hits.
For steps 4 and onward, please see sections 6.4 and
beyond.

MODIFICATIONS
The previous choices of material, shape, and size
determine the principal statistics of created Golems and
Constructs. However, this will only produce an average
specimen of that particular variety of Entity. Creators
may adjust parameters to fashion stronger or weaker
Entities. The cost for improving an Entity is to raise its
creation level – reducing the parameters below the norm
lowers the Entity’s level. This process cannot reduce the
Entity’s creation level below 1.
Base Movement Rate
Movement Rate for Entities is determined by Size and
means of locomotion. Larger Entities have a longer pace
than their smaller rivals and hence benefit from a higher
Base Movement Rate. Flying Entities of any size travel
faster than their landbound or aquatic rivals. The weighty
frames of Golems make for ponderous gaits rather than
graceful motion, so none of them are particularly fast.
The finest Constructs have such intricate clockwork
mechanisms that temporary motion might be achieved
simply by winding up the springs. With the addition of
magic, graceful and rapid motion is feasible. Entities’
lack of any need for sleep, rest, food, or drink does mean
that they can maintain a chosen pace forever.

TABLE 6.8 CONSTRUCT MOVEMENT RATES

Tiny Max 10 Max 20 Max 10

Medium 40 50 40
Large 60 80 60
Huge 80 100 80
For flying Entities, their walking rate is half their flying
movement rate. For swimming Entities, their walking
rate (if they are able to move on land at all) is half their
swimming movement rate. Landbound Entities do not
need to swim – they can simply sink to the bottom and
walk underwater to their destination.
Creators can raise the Movement Rates of Medium,
Large, and Huge Entities. For Golems, this adds +1
creation level for every 10' increment. For Constructs,
this adds +1/2 level for every 10' increment.
Example: The Tiny Winged Goblin Golem has a base
Movement Rate of 20' (and a walking rate of 10'),
whereas the Medium Brass Golem has a Movement
Rate of 80' (30' from size and form plus a special +50'
bonus because it is made from brass), and the Large
Iron Wolf Golem has a Movement Rate of 40'. Our
creators choose not to increase the Base Movement
Rate of their golems.
