A few issues arose today.
1: The wording of "Building New Constructs"
Is this newly built constructs, or newly designed. Is a freshly animated chair a new construct because it was just created? Or is it not a new construct because animated chair already exist?
2: Animated objects are constructs, and as such they can have extra special abilities crafted into them, beyond the SQ Construction Points. True? False?
3: There is a guideline showing you can add special abilities to constructs at the cost of increased CR.
3a: Are these the spoken of special abilities?

3b: Can I apply those to an animated object, since it is a Construct, by increasing the CR?
3c: Can I upgrade an already built construct with these special abilities?
3d: Can I apply SQ Construction Points to any construct? Would they gain CP based on size, or just the standard +2 CP per +1 CR?
(I understand some abilities shouldn't be applied, I'm not trying to be OP I'm just trying to make unique constructs the way the rules/guidelines state.)
Also what of templates and subtypes? What do they cost? I've seen the pre-constructed animated objects have such things added using CP.
