Can it be done? I really really like the idea of a Wizard who crafts constructs and at first glance Effigy Master seems perfect. And it might be too if it wasn't for the fact that constructs are gimped so much they can't possibly work for a PC.
With the prices given there is no way you could ever make an Effigy that would be effective at your character level. At best they could take some hits that might've landed on you. But that's a lot of gp to spend to avoide some damage.
So, maybe they aren't meant to be fighters. Okay, I could live with that except as written they can't really do anything but fight. They lose all their abilities, skills and feats not related to combat. So no guarding, no tracking no nothing but combat. Except they couldn't possibly survive that.
Has anyone else dealt with this? Has anyone come up with a fix? Should constructs remain the purview of NPCs or is there someway to make them worthwhile?
