Was contemplating playing an Animated Object and wondered if I couldn't find Race Point costs for the various Construction Point abilities. This is the result.
Are there any other modular creatures I might have missed? Did I make any oparticularly egregious errors in my RP values?
Race Points (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/other-rules/creating-new-races/)
Construction Points (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/constructs/animated-object/)
From what I can tell there is no straight CP to RP conversion the costs are just kinda all over the place.
RPs that are listed as being added together indicate that that RP ability must be taken multiple times with an increasing cost; eg. 1+2+3 RP requires three RP abilities total.
In attempting to equate CP abilities to existing RP abilities I treated Trample like Breath Weapon, Constrict like Extra Attack, Grab like Grabbing Appendages, disease like poison, hardness like damage reduction, etc.
