Crafting an Animated Object Boat


Rules Questions


So the spell Animate Objects has this little side note added in the Skull and Shackles guide:

A ship under the control of a pilot
cannot be animated with this spell without the pilot’s
consent. An animated ship moves as the caster directs.
It needs no crew other than the caster, who is considered
the ship’s pilot. An animated ship’s statistics, such as its
hit points, do not change.

If you use the Craft Construct feat to make an animated object boat, would this still hold, or do you have to decrease the Boat's hitpoints if they are more than the stated hit die for a Colossal Construct?

You'd have to lose some hitpoints, yes. Though you could use the Hit Dice Modification"-option for Constructs to get the maximum HD for the ship's size.

I guess a "ship crafted to be a construct" isn't the same as a "ship ensorcelled to be a construct".
