Hi I'm trying to make a construct for mining adamantine in the plane of earth, so it needs a fly speed and a burrow speed.
Additional Movement (Ex, 1 CP): Gains a new mode of movement (burrow, climb, fly [clumsy], or swim) at a speed equal to its base speed.
Can i take this twice to get both or do i need to find other methods, (Basic Modification: Movement modification: burrow)
Mostly just looking to save some gold
It does not explicitly tell you in the Additional Natural Attack ability that you can take that ability multiple times although it does say "The object must have an appropriate appendage or part for the natural attack" so it can be inferred that you CAN take it multiple times. The clockwork dragon is a great example of Additional Natural Attack being taken multiple times, as it has tail, wing, claw, and bite attacks.
So, I would treat Additional Movement similarly to the Additional Natural Attack ability. You can take it multiple times but each time it applies to a new form of movement, but it cannot be used to stack movement on a single type of movement. I would run this by your DM to see how he feels about this though. Normally, for all other abilities, you can only take that ability once unless it says you can take it multiple times in that specific ability. But honestly I don't see how this could be broken or game-breaking to take it multiple times provided that it doesn't stack.
The clockwork Dragon is a clockwork and not an animated object, so it follows different rules. I dont think i can use it to justify being able to take it multiple times.
Yeah I know, this is still a GM call because it doesn't explicitly say you can in the ability itself. If I were your GM, I'd allow it though.
Is there a reason you're going the Animate Objects route instead of Craft Construct? As a DM, a player who goes Animate Objects screams dispel me.
it is the craft construct route just using it to animate object. not sure how dispel works with it but my plan is building a "mining" construct to get adamantine from the plane of earth so that i can build a soul bound Adamantine golem later
