[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 2933598, member: 957"] A different set of words to get to the same defintion. Well, mechanically speaking they are magically animated self-aware constructs.... with nearly all the things that make them constructs removed so that they can work as a PC race at level 1. I mean, just saying "they have a soul" sounds cool and all. And yes, it allows them to have the "can be ressurected" part. But so what? Once you get to "self aware and has a soul" it is trivially easy to say that they are constructs except they can be ressurected. If you actually look at the living construct type, the soul part has nearly nothing to do with it. So, setting that aside the rest of their traits are just meta-game fudging of their physical nature. Why does a soul give your flesh golem a CON or make him subject to crits? Excatly right. They are andriods. But none beyond what a pure construct race that has a soul also would have. [/QUOTE]
