Message: <blockquote data-quote="jodyjohnson" data-source="post: 1766198" data-attributes="member: 5590">"The process of enchanting a construct only requires the spellcaster to spend three percent of the constructs price in XP and use raw materials costing this price. "This line is unclear.  Do you mean to say that the cost is only 3% of the base cost rather than 50% (or 37.5% if you knock off 25%)?The crafting feats in Eberron aren't this good if it's both XP and cost reduction.  As written this would stack with Extraordinary Artisan  (XP -25%)and Legendary Artisan (cost -25%).  However since it applies only to Craft Construct it's not bad."You are capable of repairing any construct of up to 30 points of damage in a single day by expending 375 sp per hit point repaired. "The Repair damage spells have been in at least 2 source books and can repair damage with no cost other than spell use.  Even the spell resistant golems have other ways to heal damage (hit them with lightning or fire, etc.).  This is mostly a non-ability and doesn't impact the value of the feat much."Creators using this feat to craft new constructs have their creations hit points 25% higher than average."Wording is not clear here.  Does this apply to just the dice or does it increase the size modifier to hit points for constructs?  Effectively increasing HP is slightly less powerful than increasing HD.  The price reduction allows you to also increase HD and then you get even more bonus hit points for the buck.For balance purposes you may want to think about what the cost reduction does.  If you have two creators paying the same amount and one makes a 12 HD large construct (108 hp) for 50,000gp, the gtr spec one can make a 24 HD large (assuming it doesn't jump to huge) construct (264 hp) for 50,000.  And the 24 HD one hits better (+9).THese feats are very good.  So much so that it would be probably that 90%+ of the constructs in your campaign would be built by creators with these feats.</blockquote>
