Stick Minions are thin, stick-figure-shaped, cheap constructs that share the following traits:
Medium-Sized Construct
Thin (Ex): It has a +2 size bonus to AC.
Fragile (Ex): It does not gain the bonus hit points for being a medium-sized construct.
Hit Dice: 1/5 d10 (1 hp)
Evasion (Ex): If it makes a successful Reflex save against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, it instead takes no damage.
Damage reduction (Ex): Amount Varies by Type / slashing or bludgeoning
They follow only extremely simple instructions from the creator or harvester. Examples are: stay, attack, or flee. All stick minions that obey the same person will attempt to follow the order if they are close enough to hear it.

These are magically created stick-figure-shaped humanoid constructs made of wooden sticks, either rough or smooth.
They follow only extremely simple instructions from the creator or harvester. Examples are: stay, attack, or flee. All stick minions that obey the same person will attempt to follow the order if they are close enough to hear it.
They don't have hands, just club-like forearms, so they can't throw things, though they could be given things to carry.
Fragile (ex): It does not gain the bonus hit points for being a medium sized construct.
Thin (ex): It has a +2 size bonus to AC.
Construct: Immune to mind-influencing effects, poison, disease, and similar effects. Not subject to non-lethal damage, ability damage or drain, or energy drain.
Construction:
These constructs can be created either individually as normal for constructs, or by carving runes into a tree and applying certain oils to the tree. In the latter case, a large tree can be used to create up to 5 stick minions, or more for a very large tree. The minions will grow from the tree branches over a one week period, and can then be harvested. They will then obey the commands of whoever plucked them, as well as of the creator. (If given conflicting orders, they follow the latest orders.) If harvested too early, they will fail to function and remain inert. If not harvested after 3 months they’ll rot away.
Each costs 30 gp to create, or 15 gp if the creator is a druid or wooden avatarist. The creator must be 3rd level, able to cast arcane or divine spells or is a wooden avatarist, and have the Craft Construct feat. Completing the ritual for a single stick minion or for a tree takes one day.

These are magically created stick-figure-shaped humanoid constructs made of glass.
They follow only extremely simple instructions they are given when created. Examples are: stay, attack, or flee. All stick minions that obey the same person will attempt to follow the order if they are close enough to hear it.
In combat they attack with the rapier-like glass tips on their arms. This tip is treated as a masterwork rapier and is coated with acid. If the construct is slain or if the ‘glass rapier’ is removed, it becomes useless.

Fragile (ex): It does not gain the bonus hit points for being a medium sized construct.
