Healing a Construct Rider's mount?


Rules Questions


I'm looking at making a Construct Rider alchemist from the Cohorts and Companions book, but I'm curious how to go about healing the thing when it inevitably takes damage.

As a construct (even if it's also a companion) it seems I can't use normal spells or extracts on it. Alchemists don't have access to Make Whole unless I want to take the Spell Knowledge discovery at level 10 and cast it as a 3rd level extract (ugh).

I don't know if any of the alchemist discoveries would heal it.

Lastly, it says you can heal it with Craft Construct which you get at 4, but... that costs 100g per 1d6 HP restored, which takes a day or more... It also says I have to make a craft check though, based on the DC it takes to make the construct, but there is no DC to craft the construct -- you just have it. So what's the DC? Or is there one?

So besides Craft Construct, what are my options? Buy a wand of Make Whole?

Also, can I use Craft Construct to make construct modifications to it?


What about the repair line of spells here. Perhaps cheaper by the rules than a wand of Make Whole.

Yeah, I believe the GM in the game I'm going to be doing is going to have those spells, which will make it A LOT easier to heal. I'm still curious how you're supposed to heal them, and what the DC is, if any, for Craft Construct.
