You shape ectoplasm from the Astral Plane into a temporary, semi-autonomous minion. The construct is a creature, not an object, and acts on its own initiative under your direction.
Construct Building System
When you manifest an astral construct, you spend a budget of construct points on its size, type, and traits. The point budget grows with your rank, and higher ranks unlock more powerful trait options.
| Rank | Construct Points | Notable Unlocks |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 4 | Tiny--Medium constructs; basic natural weapons; light armor; basic movement modes (climb, swim) |
| 2 | 8 | Large constructs; advanced weapons (reach, energy); flight; resistances |
| 3 | 12 | Huge constructs; multi-attack; magical traits (regeneration, damage reduction) |
| 4 | 16 | Gargantuan constructs; legendary actions; powerful elemental embodiments |
| 5 | 20 | Custom legendary; full template freedom (TBD) |
