My group: I'm DMing a campaign that uses Frank & K rules, and Pathfinder skills. Since the players aren't minmaxers by any stretch of the imagination, they're probably playing on Tier 2-3 with a Tome Ranger (http://www.dnd-wiki.org/wiki/Ranger,_Tome_%283.5e_Class%29), Fighter (http://www.dnd-wiki.org/wiki/Races_of_War_%283.5e_Sourcebook%29/Warriors_with_Class#Fighter), Gadgeteer (http://www.dnd-wiki.org/wiki/Book_of_Gears_%283.5e_Sourcebook%29/Mechanics_with_Class#Base_Classes), and possibly Samurai (http://www.dnd-wiki.org/wiki/Races_of_War_%283.5e_Sourcebook%29/Warriors_with_Class#Samurai) (still haven't got the last guy figured out yet). All players are level 10. The gadgeteer specializes in using a fuel-efficient flamethrower invention every round for 10d6 damage a pop, the ranger is a gish, and the others are straight melee.
My baddie: I don't have Warforged stats, so I whipped up a construct template with no LA or HD, and that's pretty much it.

Here's my question: how does this baddie stack up against the PCs? Specifically, will either group dominate the other? Will he prove a reasonable challenge, or be too weak? I don't really have anyone to playtest him with, so I'm hoping you guys can help me figure this out.
