I posted this in the rules question section, but people seem to have ignored it, so I am posting it here since it could fit in as advice as well.

I am new to the construct rules and all, but this construct armor looks VERY appealing to me, but I am having trouble figuring out this effect, specifically the last paragraph. Since attacks to you use the construct's hit points, not yours, why does the last paragraph says the armor acts as a breastplate?

Second question; could you add CPs to a full golem?

Third question; what would it take for a fighter to be able to make and use such a creation? I am guessing extensive use magical device checks, as well as items that can cast the proper spells frequently enough, as well as the "make whole" spell a few times per day.

Fourth; what would be the possible benefits from wearing a construct armor? If the construct could fly, would you also be able to?

Thanks

You can get bonuses to attacks via Construct Limp on pg. 115, adapting small or tiny constructs to fit over your arm, or possible an increase to jumping or movement speed by fitting the proper construct over your legs. These do modify armor apparently as it gives the example that an iron cobra modified to fit over your arm would provide protection equivalent to a heavy steel shield and you are automatically proficient with it.

interesting possibilities here.
