I've always had a soft spot for golems, so I though I'd try to make a construct crafter for an upcoming game of Kingmaker. Problem is, as always, the cost associated with the crafting.
So I though I'd use an Alchemist with the Clone Master archetype to get some cheaper and more rapidly produced minions (I'm aware of the debate regarding alchemists and crafting feats, but my DM is okay with it).
For the most part I'm clear as to what the simulacrum spell allows, but I'm curious about one instance in particular. I want my "primary" golem to be a Shield Guardian. Would the copies still benefit from the SG abilities, and if so would they be "keyed" to the same amulet?
Thanks in advance.

Depends on your GM, but be prepared to see bonuses halfed or removed completely - the resulting Simulacrum should probably be less than half as powerful as its original.

No, probably not. James Jacobs has already stipulated that Simulacra of familiars do not have the bond the original has either, so I guess that applies here too.
James has also stipulated that the only creatures that can't be made via simulacrum are incorporeal creatures. Have fun with that half-powered army of constructs.
