These Beast Constructs are modeled on their organic<br />
counterparts. With the possible exception of the Basilisk,<br />
they are all more deadly than the living creatures. Further<br />
spell augmentation is left to the creative discretion of the<br />
alchemist. Likewise creators may wish to choose alternative<br />
materials, balancing capabilities and financial cost.<br />
The Basilisk Construct lacks the spell-casting and<br />
petrifying abilities of a real Greater Basilisk, but its<br />
mundane combat capabilities are significantly superior.<br />
Frequently Basilisk Constructs are designed as 25' long<br />
with a 9' tail and 25' wingspan, and enhanced with a<br />
selection of destructive spell abilities. Its attacks do double<br />
concussion hit damage due to its size.<br />
The Giant Eagle Construct mirrors in form (if not in<br />
size) the mightiest birds of the air. Requiring an extremely<br />
powerful (and wealthy) Creator, the example<br />
Giant Eagle has a wingspan of 40' (equivalent to a Minor<br />
Great Eagle), but has the speed and offensive potential of<br />
the largest Great Eagles without their arrogance. Its<br />
attacks do triple concussion hit damage due to its size. A<br />
superb flyer, this entity has a carrying capacity of 1000<br />
lbs. and a Riding Bonus of +10.<br />
The Kraken Construct is essentially a huge squid with<br />
a 30' body and eight strong 30' long tentacles. Owing to its<br />
size, its tentacles do double Concussion hit damage. With<br />
its improved all-around watervision and natural weaponry,<br />
this <strong>construct</strong> is designed for underwater patrol and<br />
guard duties at any depth. Some versions incorporate<br />
poison reservoirs channeled to strategically placed spines<br />
to immobilize or slay enemies faster. Unseen or equivalent<br />
spells are preferred as camouflage rather than the “ink<br />
cloud” released by natural squids (the need for frequent<br />
ink refills would limit the <strong>construct</strong>’s range.)<br />
Manticore Constructs are frequently deployed to protect<br />
wizards’ manses from unwanted intrusion or as<br />
frontline assault forces against lightly armored cavalry.<br />
Suitably empowered, these <strong>construct</strong>s can also serve as<br />
relentless trackers.<br />
Rat Constructs are fashioned to be as lifelike and<br />
innocuous seeming as possible. Their application is as<br />
spies and scouts, relying on their small size to infiltrate<br />
tight spaces, and mechanical paws to manipulate tools<br />
and mechanisms. They are almost always enhanced using<br />
Sentience to give them perception and thieving skills<br />
as well as sensory recording capabilities. As a nasty<br />
surprise, most Rat Constructs have concealed dart<br />
throwers (with poisoned darts) to use against anyone<br />
who discovers them in action.<br />
The Scorpion Construct mimics the Gemsting (Giant<br />
Scorpion), but its dart thrower gives it the opportunity to<br />
engage opponents at long range. Sometimes enhanced<br />
with Nightvision (or Darkvision), these entities are used as<br />
sentries or roving patrols inside underground complexes.<br />
The Tiger Construct is both a fine steed (with a +10<br />
Riding bonus and 500 lbs. carrying capacity) and a<br />
dangerous combatant. It is frequently reserved as a mount<br />
for elite warriors in battle.<br />
6.14.3 THE COLOSSUS<br />
Level: 25 Size: H MS/AQ: BF/BF<br />
Base Move: 100 Max Pace: Dash MM Bonus: +20<br />
Hits: 450 Crits: SL# AT(DB): 20(70)<br />
Attacks: 220Morningstar (6D) / 220Falchion(6D)<br />
Creation Level is: 50 [ (4 (humanoid) + 8 (steel IV) x2<br />
(size)) +1 (movement) +3 (pace) +1 (MM Bonus) +2<br />
(MS) +2 (AQ) +16 (increased OBs) +1 (spikes and<br />
spines)].<br />
Process cost: 2500gp. Materials cost (75' tall, steel IV):<br />
654,528gp.<br />
This 75' tall Colossus Construct is one possible implementation<br />
of the gigantic artificial warrior, which is<br />
featured on the front cover devastating some unfortunate<br />
stronghold. (An iron-only version would reduce<br />
the cost to just over 13,000gp, as well as allowing for<br />
more mechanical abilities and magical abilities to be<br />
permanently imbedded.) This is definitely an entity that<br />
deserves to be made intelligent using the means presented<br />
in the next chapter. A new body for a Demon<br />
Prince perhaps Better hope the Glyph of Control holds!<br />
