Are their any playable constructs that have a listed LA other than warfored?
Or templates that could be used to make a construct character? Sadly found the mm2 update that lists the half golems as LA - :smallfrown:

I believe Savage Species has a couple of constructs listed as racial progressions. I'm unsure if this will be of any help to you but it could give you something to work off of. I hear both good and bad things about those classes, so be cautious.

There are variant Warforged like Warforged Chargers and Warforged Scouts in the MMIII. Modrons were published in a few web enhancements and Dragon articles.

Their ECL is prohibitive for basically any game, but the Epic Level Handbook lists Anaxim abominations at ECL 38.

MM2 has the Nimblewright, an intelligent golem with rapiers for hands.

Can't belive I forgot about those, if anything works something like those will.

Wait, modrons are constructs? I thought they were outsiders.

According to the Manual of the Planes web enhancement (http://wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/we/20010921a) (which is 3.0), they're outsiders, but according to Dragon Magazine 354, modrons are constructs.

incarnate golem maug?

2 racial hit die +1 la for

+10 str, +4 dex, +2 int, +2 cha, +7 natural armor, and large sized?

Not sure, if it retains its base alterness feat and 6+int skill points for its racial hit die level, since it says it gains no skill points or feats, but since it wasn't mindless to begin with it already had said feats and skills so I think it should keep them.

Regardless seems pretty good to me.

Savage Species did some slightly different things with Golems. 3.5 didn't end up carrying the idea through.

Savage Species gives LAs for awakened and incarnate golems, as well as a monster class for Flesh Golems (with Int -6 rather than Int: -).

Prior to that dragon 354, Modrons were the exemplars of Mechanus. As of 3.0/3.5 Primus' hierarchy has been displaced by the formians.

Do LN petitioners spawn as Modrons or Formians in Mechanus? Do Modrons spawn from the plane and get demoted to formians as Nupperibos do in Baator?
