Most Constructs do not have an LA. This Template gives a -2 LA. I assume that means it is designed to be applied to creatures that are not normally allowed, and makes them PC friendly. So how do I calculate LA? Should I just take the Hit Dice and minus them by 2? (HD-2=LA?) Could this be applied to Half-Golems?

Savage Species assigned Level Adjustments to a few constructs. Specifically, +6 for a Stone Golem, +8 for a Clay Golem, +6 for a Flesh Golem and +3 for a Homunculus. Level Adjustments for other constructs would need to be figured out on a case by case basis.

Really? I couldn't find those LA examples in the book. Could I bother you for the page number? I must be going blind.

There are a few other constructs out there with LAs. The nimblewright springs to mind as an excellent choice.

The big sideways tables in the Appendix, starting on page 206. The first table is compiled by creature name, the second is the same information compiled by Starting ECL.

On the topic of Nimblewrights, my wife is playing one in a Play-by-Post I'm running on enworld. I made a level progression for them ala Savage Species.

The Maug from Fiend Folio has an LA too.
