Pathfinder animate objects and adamantine armor.

[Fearcypher]

Can you use the animate objects spell to animate a suit of medium adamantine armor?

A medium animated object only gains 2 CP but the metal(adamantine) ability costs 6 CP. Is there no way to animate a suit of adamantine armor?



I would link the text but I haven't posted enough to be allowed to do so.

You can add as many CP as you'd like but doing so raises the CR of the object and thus raises the price.

But what if I'm just casting the spell, and not spending money on it?

assuming I don't want it to be permanent.

The spell reading isn't specific about creating objects with higher than usual construction points but I would say that you should be able to go off the CR anyways. An adamantine medium object is 8 CP, 6 points above what is allowed. Medium object is CR 3 and with these additional points becomes CR 6. A large object is CR 5 and a huge object is CR 7. As the spell, you use 4 small objects to make a large object and 8 small objects to make a huge object. Because the CR for the medium adamantine armor is between large and huge it would take 6 small objects.
