Though I admit that it is ripped from Dungeons & Dragons Online I feel that a transition to Pathfinder Online would be in order.
Automaton - a magical construct built for war (fighter class restricted)
I see them as being about seven feet in height and favours the great axe as their weapon of choice. (they have no aptitude for using bows and no will to use any other melee weapon than the great axe)
Their racial bonus stats are: STR +3, DEX -4, CON +3, INT -2, WIS -2, CHA -4.
Thus their starter stats without additional points would be:
STR 13
DEX 6
CON 13
INT 8
WIS 8
CHA 6

And after spending 20 attribute points in the most beneficial way the stats would be:
STR 16
DEX 10
CON 16
INT 8
WIS 8
CHA 6

That is only ten points

Every point buy system I know applies racial adjustments AFTER spending points. So six to raise Dex to 14, four to raise STR to 13, four to raise Con to 13, there's fourteen points. Six left, probably to fix mental stats.
Also, your point costs aren't quite aligned with the Pathfinder point buy system, which I'd assume would be the starting point for this.

Ah, yes...
New racial adjustments for the Automaton race:
STR +2
DEX -4
CON +2
INT -2
WIS -2
CHA -4
Pathfinder 15 points build:
STR 16
DEX 10
CON 16
INT 8
WIS 8
CHA 6
Pathfinder 20 points build:
STR 16
DEX 10
CON 16
INT 10
WIS 10
CHA 7
This might seem bad but they are immune to charm, sleep, drowning (they can't swim either, zero buoyancy) and fire damage and some other things that slips my mind at this time.
Their bodies are compleatly encased in iron which protects them to the same degree as a full set of plate armor or the Pathfinder equivalent and if you choose a special feat at character creation you can substitute that with dwarven steel which protects the same but adds one or two points of damage absobtion.
And in order to make them rare... a new player can not create this race because you must first reach level 15 or something like that with your regular character to unlock a level 1 Automaton.

I really doubt we are going to see anything like the warforged in this game at least for a very long time. Pathfinder has like 25 races in its lore that come before them.
25 flavors of meat? No, let them do a few of the basic meat-sack races, then robots should have a fairly high priority after that.

I don't like that name or how they were portrayed in Dungeons & Dragons Online.
I haven't played pen and paper games since I were in high school so I wouldn't know how they are portrayed there.

I'm curious, what didn't you like about them?

DDo did an abysmal job flexing the coolness of Eberron. Doesn't surprise me the warforged got lost in translation in that gawdawful game.

The realities hardly amount to being required to stick to the order of "Pathfinder has like 25 races in its lore that come before them". The real reality is that GW can put implement races in whatever order they choose.

It's just priorities :(
I'm still eagerly awaiting (and hoping) when after a lot of effort on the player's part, that we will be able to obtain templates such as half-dragon, lich, or whatother crazy ones there are.

I didn't like the name Warforged and I didn't like that they could drown in D&D Online and I didn't like that they could be every class like wizard and cleric.

Because they are like Arnold Schwarzenegger's Terminator.They're living, sentient creatures, why wouldn't they be able to be any class?
As an alternative, why would they be the only race in the game that was class restricted?
Oh, all robot people have to be fighters and killers and unstoppable mechanical monsters.
You humans/elves/ect are all racist.

You prefer to have a robot who plays the banjo or writes love poems?
Warforged are intellectual property of Wizards of the Coast and won't be making an appearance in Pathfinder Online.
Androids, however, who knows? :)
So is that basically a magical android?

They're no longer able to drown in DDO. The version you're talking about sounds like the first year of DDO where much was incomplete about the game.I played it during the open beta and found it to be not for me so I have no idea how it is these days.
DDO has changed dramatically since BETA.
I got so into warforged though because they were so disliked in the early days of the game. Turbine implemented them with all the disadvantages, but none of the immunities. Most players decided pretty quickly, at that stage, that they hated warforged and anyone who played warforged. So I decided to play nothing but warforged just to spite other players.
It turned out pretty awesome. Once Turbine got around to bringing in all their immunities, they became pretty formidable.
And there is nothing harder to kill in DDO than a warforged sorcerer. Highest spell point pool, fastest casting time, high constitution and further racial constitution and toughness bonuses, higher fortification, immunities, repair spells that you get to hoard to yourself unlike clerics who are expected to babysit the whole party...
I use a slightly altered version of Agent Smith's monologue for my main character's bio:
I had a warforged wizard named Reagent in DDO. "I was created to do war...and now I do war upon my makers."
