Can I embed magical items into a construct?
A construct is a body. The better question is:
Can i embed magical items into a Character?
From a Game Balance point of view, do you want your Characters to have the ability to embed magical items into there Character. This is already limited by the placement of magical items that a character can use or were.
Another Question: Do you want to have more body location for magical items than there already is allowed for the Character?
[[Constuct, Undead, Monster, Creature, Player]]: What ever your deside, you should apply this to all.
---------------------------------------------
As a DM, i would say NO.

Hi there. :)
Golems specifically are automatons. "Being mindless" golems really wouldn't seek the advantages of magic item use, so it doesn't really matter whether they have body slots or not because they wouldn't use them even if they did. They're like robots. It seems to me that a being would have to have an intelligence score to even activate a magic item and golems don't.
I don't see why you couldn't hide magic items in a golem's body during construction, but only for the purpose of hiding them and that's about it. Doing so wouldn't imbue the golem with the ability to use embedded magic items. :)
For the most part I would agree with Awizardindallas, although I could see items that are automatic working.
Warforged from Eberron did have slots in the arms for wands, bows and various other items if you are looking for ideas to add to constructs.
It depends on the costruct. Golems, being humanoid in shape, have every magic item slot available. Unintelligent golems would need to be ordered to use any activated magic items, but always-on ones (like magic weapons or armor) would function normally for them. The items would have to be put on by their creator, though, because mindless golems aren't going to be able to make the evaluation of what's better than it already has even if it's told to loot the dead.
As for embedding items, the only ones I can think of that can be embedded are ioun stones. Read the Seekers of Secrets Pathfinder Companion book for that.
