"Possession of sensory organs" doesn't quite mean "the ability to feel pain." But I assume you meant to say "the ability to feel pain technically makes something sentient," rather than the reverse.

Officially, robots, golems, and undead do not get con scores, even if sentient.

"Sentience is the capacity for basic consciousness — the ability to feel or perceive, not necessarily including the faculty of self-awareness. The word sentient is often confused with the word sapient, which can connotate knowledge, higher consciousness, or apperception. The root of the confusion is that the word conscious has a number of different meanings in English. (One can easily distinguish the two by looking at their Latin roots: sentire, "to feel"; and sapere, "to know".) "

Prefer the method used in Factory (I voted other). You get a base frame (your choice dependant on its intended function), and a budget for modification.
