I think I forget about Toughness due to my general distaste for that feat. But I'd be ok with making that a bonus feat if that's what people want.

So shall we go for Tiny Construct with Unholy Toughness and bonus Toughness like I suggested in the first place?

 

[freyar]

They just don't seem that Unholy to me, unless we're going to change them to Outsiders. I'm not even sure why they'd be CE if they're Constructs, to be honest.

 

[Shade]

I've never seen unholy toughness used outside of undead. Anyone have a precedent? If not, I'd rather not start one.

I'm fine with Toughness as a bonus feat, though. Even (x2) if necessary to get the desired hp.

 

[freyar]

So are we sticking with 1HD then?

 

[Shade]

We might as well. The paper golem, which is Small, is 2 HD. These are even smaller.

 

[freyar]

Ok, then.

Abilities: Int is 2-4. Wis, Cha probably 10-11. Str you'd think would be low, but some of its attacks would do better with decent Str. I'd probably go with 10-11 there also. Pretty high Dex would make sense; anywhere from 12-17 works for me.

 

[Shade]

That sounds like the right approach.

FWIW, here's the paper golem's scores...

Str 8, Dex 20, Con -, Int -, Wis 11, Cha 1

 

[freyar]

What about Str 10, Dex 17, Con -, Int 3, Wis 11, Cha 10?

 

[Shade]

Seems reasonable.
