Half-Constructs


Rules Questions


Using race builder, do half-constructs get bonus hp? We had a game yesterday where a half-construct player would have been reduced to 0 hp otherwise, which would have killed him instantly so I gave him 20 hp to prevent a player death as I didn't know if he was supposed to get bonus hp.

Looking at the perks for being a Half-Construct, nope, he wouldn't get any bonus HP.

Nothing about half-constructs say they are destroyed at 0 hit points. They are only half-constructs, they still have a half-living side, and use the normal rules for death and dying. With the exception that once dead, they can't be raised or resurrected.

Half-construct is a subtype that modifies another type (one that is not construct or undead).


Alright thanks, I'll let him know the good news and the bad news
