09-11-04, 04:51 AM How does one determine the construction cost of constructs? Suppose I design/convert a new construct monster, how do I writeup on the construction section?

The SRD gives rules for creating magic items (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/magicItemsI.htm), but I can't find anything that refers to counting how much a construct would cost to create.

09-11-04, 01:00 PM there are no "official" rules. actually, as I've often been told, there are no official "rules" for pricing magic items... *sigh*

09-12-04, 12:42 PM Ok, has anyone then work out something feasible for accounting for construct creation cost?

09-12-04, 01:52 PM in one of their (few) moderately balanced books mongoose has a set of rules for creating Constructs. The writer states that he did his level best to reverse-engeneer the construct creation rules, and appears to have done a decent job at it.
unfortunately the book is 3rd ed, and has been some other issues (the homonuclius section is obviously wrong in light of ECS stuff)
