I was looking into construct stats for theorycrafting some Tactician (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/psionics-unleashed/classes/tactician) tricks, namely adding one to your collective and then using Ability as One (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/psionics-unleashed/psionic-powers/a/ability-as-one) and Prowess as One (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/psionics-unleashed/psionic-powers/p/prowess-as-one) to share it's BAB and Strength modifiers with the rest of the collective for a LOL-button to grant crazy melee bonuses to untrained scrubs.
But I got distracted by the fact that none of the golem attack bonuses are equal to the listed BAB plus Strength bonus - many of them are slightly lower.
Example 1: Stone Golem (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/constructs/golem/golem-stone) has BAB +14, Strength bonus of +9, but attack listed at +22, one lower than it should be.
Example 2: Adamantine Golem (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/constructs/golem/golem-adamantine) has BAB +30, Strength bonus of +13, but attack listed at +41, two lower than it should be.
This pattern shows up pretty consistently on all the golems. Is there some rule I'm missing that modifies attack bonuses downward in these cases?
