ARG Half-Constructs and Bestiary 5 Androids


Rules Questions


The half-construct template from the Advanced Race Guide has 7 RP and grants a number of useful abilities. However, I'd like to bump it up a bit by granting it the Constructed qualities of the Bestiary 5 android.

The half-construct gets a +2 racial bonus to saves against poison, disease, fatigue, exhaustion, and mind-affecting effects. Androids get a +4 racial bonus to saves against poison, mind-affecting effects, paralysis, and stun effects, plus immunity to disease, fatigue, and exhaustion. They're also considered both humanoids and constructs for the purpose of special abilities that target creature types.

So, if I increased the half-construct's saving throw bonuses to match the android's and granted them the additional immunities (not the fear and emotion immunity, though), how many RP would this bring it up to?


That RP system is borked. It is not as borked as it first was, but it still dosen't work well. You have have a lot less RP points and still have a better race, but to answer the question---> I would say that adds another +5 and brings it up to 12 RP.
Since these are not covered it is really more GM adjudication than a rules answer that can be verified.

If it helps, the original android entry (from Inner Sea Bestiary) lists Constructed as a 2 RP ability.

That's... certainly a number.
