Pathfinder 1E What Constructs DO NOT require Geas/Quest to create?

[koesherbacon]

Using the Craft Construct feat, which Constructs do not require Geas/Quest to animate? Just Homunculus and Animate Object? Or are there others?

If there aren't any, what's the point of having Craft Construct at level 5 since Geas/Quest is a 6th level spell (with the exception of the Inquisitor). Is it only usable to create these constructs with either a scroll or wand of Geas/Quest or a Golem Manual at 5th level?

Don't forget the ability to craft without a prerequisite spell using a higher Spellcraft DC, in PF. You'll usually have to meet a caster level prequisite higher than 5th to be able to craft a Golem, too (which is yet another prerequisite you'll need to increase the DC for if you're lower).

Soulbound Doll from Bestiary 2 just requires Lesser Geas. Carytid Column from Bestiary 3 also requires Lesser Geas rather than full. Graven Guardian from Bestiary 3 doesn't require any version of Geas, but does require several medium-level spells such as Greater Magic Weapon and Imbue With Spell Ability. Tophet from Bestiary 3 just requires Bull's Strength and Endure Elements (but has CL 12th).

You're correct, though, in noting that Geas/Quest is a required spell for the vast majority of Construct creatures.
