i need help with construction and xp stuff. also is the CR right?
edit: is the cr right now?

I don't have clue about the Creation costs, but I would put the CR lower, and put in the rest of the info about the monster.

You can find how: Here

Would a mica golem really have any AC that couldn't be described as "fragile?"

But I do liek the idea. Could you put in what the Sheet of mica is? Have you considered it having a blinding aura of mica? Like the Glitterdust spell?

Whizbang:
if it was a sheet if mica yes, but it is thick which means that most attacks would chip or remove a sheet, also remember that magic would fuse, to some degree anyway the mica to make it humanoid.

how does it look now?

Darkvision: This creature can see in complete darkness, up to 60.
Flammable: Saves as an object when saving vs fire effects.

Creation:
A reed man is ceated from many reed mats (dc 10 craft check) (or another similar material) costing 10 gp.
Toatal creation cost for the golem is 200 gp and 60 xp (yes i know it's not 1/25 but i'm making it reasonable) CL 1st

is this too cheap?

Fool: I love the idea of the Reed Golem. I like constructs for less powerful casters. But having said that, 20 XP for a perfectly loyal servant with a 14 Str seems a bit low. It's not exactly a powerhouse in combat, but even at 1st or 2nd level I'd have about 10 of these things at all times.

And given its construct traits, I think I'd give it a CR of 1/2 at least. Also (and I know this is a quibble) shouldn't it have 20 bonus HP for being a Medium Construct? Obviously you can change that, but by the MM guidelines I think that's right.

Here's one I did. Pardon the link, but I can't seem to format things decently in a post:

i left out the 20 hp for a reason, that's why it has a CR of 1/3 not 1/2 it's factored into the CR for constructs. I will change the creation cost.
