Soulbound Doll Ninja PC

[chaostails7]

I recently got the cool suggestion on these forums of a Soulbound Doll for a ninja PC. This strikes me as kind of awesome.

The doll would have to use a kusarigama to threaten and attack out of its square, but it could have a great CMB with it because Tiny and smaller creatures use Dex instead of Strength for combat maneuvers.

Its stealth would also be through the roof, so a feat like Hellcat Stealth would be awesome. It could also just pretend not to be alive or hide in the figher's pocket to ride into combat.

What are the practicalities to make this work? Soulbound dolls are CR2 for some reason, (even though I'm pretty sure a first level fighter could kill a roomful of them solo) so does that mean my ECL is 2 at level 1?

Healing is also problematic - what would my cleric cast to heal me besides Make Whole? And on the subject of hit points, would my constitution be permanently stuck at "10"?

First, the soulbound doll has 3hd, and would have to be reduced.

I suggest working it out as a playable race, then posting your results.

It sounds like a great idea to me and I wouldn't mind looking into it myself later for a future character.

On to the questions... The bottom line is its a construct so it would heal like a construct, there's a special brick that clerics can use, I forget the name, but I think its 10,000 gp anyway it it let's them heal constructs like they were normal.

I think ecl is based off of hit dice, so if it has 3 hit dice your ecl would be 3 at lvl 1.
