[QUOTE="Kerrick, post: 741495, member: 4722"] Very nice. I have a PrC called the elemental conjurer (imagine that!) and these would go very well with it. They get the ability to create an elemental construct at 8th level, but it's only one size. (It's posted here: [url]http://www.geocities.com/mistmane/3E/prc/econjurer.html[/url]) These would go well with a Summon Elemental spell, though... Just a few things: Why do water constructs have electrical attacks instead of ice attacks? I can't imagine any reason for them to have electricity. And how come they don't have the Engulf ability like Fire constructs? This would be perfect for a water construct - run over someone, engulf him, and drown him. Natural attacks don't deal *1.5 Str, unless I'm mistaken; only weapons used with both hands deal the extra damage. How come earth elementals don't have acid resistance 5?
