Combat

An astral construct’s Hit Dice are determined by the level of the power used to create it. However, astral constructs of given HD can vary somewhat from one another, depending on the whims of their creators.

Creating an Astral Construct

When manifesting an astral construct power, the manifester assembles the desired creature from a menu of choices as specified in the construct’s statistics block. A manifester can always substitute two abilities on a lesser menu for one choice on the next higher menu. Astral constructs generally appear as animate clumps of ectoplasm with a vaguely humanoid shape, but the manifester can mold or sculpt them according to his or her whim within the limits imposed by the creature’s size. The quality of such “construct sculpture” is determined by a Craft (sculpting) check with the appropriate DC set by the Dungeon Master.

Construct: Constructs usually have no Intelligence scores and never have Constitution scores. A construct is immune to mind-influencing effects (charms, compulsions, phantasms, patterns, and morale effects) and to poison, sleep, paralysis, stunning, disease, death effects, and necromantic effects.

Constructs cannot heal damage, though they can be healed. They can be repaired in the same way an object can.

A construct is not subject to critical hits, subdual damage, ability damage, ability drain, or energy drain. It is immune to any effect that requires a Fortitude save (unless the effect also works on objects). A construct is not at risk of death from massive damage, but when reduced to 0 hit points or less, it is immediately destroyed. Since it was never alive, a construct cannot be raised or resurrected. Constructs do not require air.

Astral Construct Menu A

Additional Attack: One additional attack at highest attack bonus; both attacks –2 to attack roll.

Armor (Ex): +1 deflection bonus to AC.

Fly (Ex): Construct has physical wings (6-foot wingspan). Speed 60 ft. (average).

Resistance (Ex): Choose one of fire, cold, acid, electricity, or sonic resistance 5. The same resistance can be chosen multiple times and stacks.

Sprint (Ex): Once per hour, the construct can take a charge action to move 10 times normal speed.

Swim: Construct becomes streamlined and sharklike. Speed 60 ft.

Trample (Ex): As a standard action during its turn each round, the construct can run over an opponent at least one size smaller than itself. It merely has to move over the opponent to deal bludgeoning damage equal to 1d4 + Strength modifier.

Trip (Ex): If the construct hits with a slam attack it can attempt to trip the opponent as a free action without making a touch attack or provoking an attack of opportunity. If the attempt fails, the opponent cannot react to trip the astral construct.

Astral Construct Menu B

(Any choice from this menu may be replaced with two choices on Menu A.)

Buff (Ex): Construct gains 3d10 temporary hit points (multiple selections do not stack).

Charge (Ex): If the construct charges a foe during the first round of combat, it can make a full attack even if it has already taken a move action. If it has the squeeze ability, it can also use this (see entry below).

Heavy Armor (Ex): +4 deflection bonus to AC.

Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, the construct must hit with its slam attack. If it gets a hold, it can squeeze (must have the squeeze ability; see entry below).

Smack Down (Su): Once per day the construct can make a normal attack to deal additional damage equal to its HD.

Squeeze (Ex): A construct that gets a hold can make a squeeze attack (+9 melee) to deal damage of 2d4 + Strength modifier. If it charges an opponent on the first round of combat, it can also squeeze (must also have the charge ability; see entry above).
