Have some questions on this construct modification.
Construct Limb
Requirements: Craft Construct, Craft Magic Arms and Armor, animate objects, Small or Tiny construct
CR Increase: none
Cost: 27,000 gp
This modification can be performed on a Small or Tiny construct, such as an iron cobra or a homunculus. The creator modifies the construct such that she can slip it over her arm and control its actions as part of her own. The construct limb retains any melee attacks that the construct has, and the creator can use special attacks as if she were the construct (using the construct's attack statistics and effects), but treat the creator as the creature making attacks for the purpose of determining attacks of opportunity and other actions that could be triggered by an attack made by the creator.
The limb also provides the wearer with limited protection in combat, roughly equivalent to that of a heavy steel shield. The wearer is considered proficient in this shield. The wearer retains the remainder of her abilities.
A construct limb counts as a heavy steel shield for purposes of determining AC, weight, Dexterity modifiers to AC, and chance of arcane spell failure.
1. A construct limb uses its own actions to attack? I just give it a command as a free action?
2. A construct limb uses its own attack role?
Sorry about bumping this after only one hour, but I ran out of time to edit my original post. I looked around more to see if this has been answered already and I found conflicting answers.
It functions mostly like a construct, but it sits in your square. Its like a mount in how it acts.
It functions kind of like construct armor.
I'm leaning towards the first one being correct, but I was hoping someone more knowledgeable/better at reading this sort of stuff could help me.
