04-19-05, 08:38 AM I just tossed two of these "guys" at the party last night, and I realized I don't know their CR, for XP purposes:

3 HD Medium constructs
30 hp (3d10 + 10 for Medium construct)
construct traits
STR 16, DEX 8, CON -, INT -, WIS 10, CHA 10
Attack: longsword (or warhammer) +5 (1d8+3)
DR 2/piercing
AC 17 (+5 armor, +3 natural armor, -1 dex)
Init -1
Speed 30'
Feats: none
Skills: none

I rough-guessed CR 3. The particular clockwork soldiers I used last night had bronze weapons, which had normal chances to hit but inflicted -1 damage. I also made them vulnerable to fire.

2) The dreadguard from MMII is a CR 3 construct with 5 HD. It has better hp, a better BAB, and better saves than your monster.

Make your clockwork soldier small, and they'll make fine CR 2 monsters.
