[QUOTE="coyotzin, post: 141502, member: 4085"] --Adding Intelligence Golems and automata have no sentience of their own, which is why they usually have no Intelligence scores. Depending on what you want to have the construct do, you can give it the Skill Competence ability to simulate that the construct knows well what it is meant to do. If you want an all-purpose intelligent construct, go for the Spell Effect ability to instil the construct with Limited Wish, Miracle or Wish, since those are the only effects that can grant intelligence to something that doesn't have any :) Or if you're cruel, Magic Jar and Geas another being inside the construct... --Flight When you want the construct to have wings as its only limbs, select the Extra Miscelaneous Limb feat, and the No Arms/No Legs deficiencies. If you want it to fly much better than a rather clumsy set of limbs allow, use the Spell Effect ability to infuse the construct with the Fly spell. You are free to make up your own feats and abilities of course (Improved Flying, Extra Limb: propeller, etc. :) ), there's only so much things that can be included in 64 pages, and the possibilities for construct design are endless. The construction system was made as open as possible to be able to provide space for growth. Cheers:D [/QUOTE]
