Your possessed skin is identical to you in all ways, except the following: It has only half the number of hit points you had at the time you cast the spell, and cannot be healed above this maximum; construct type, traits, and immunities; Str 3, Con —; DR 10/piercing or slashing; and compression (as the universal monster ability). Your skin can take any actions you could normally take in your own body (such as to fight or cast spells).
I have a player that contends that if a medium creature casts this spell, that because they gain the construct type, they also gain construct bonus +20 hp. However, from the text above, it seems clear that the skin has exactly half of the hitpoints of its caster.
So, an FAQ question: Does the possessed skin created by the spell skinsend when cast by a medium creature have half of the caster's HP, or half of the caster's hitpoints plus 20?

Specific overrides general. The general rule for Constructs is the +20 bonus hitpoints. The specific case for this Construct is that it gets half the caster's hitpoints.
