Yesterday I picked up my copy of the Fiend Folio. So far I have been quite pleased with the book, but when I came to the golems section I noticed something odd - all of them seemed to have bonus hit points from an unknown source. I then checked all of the other constructs in the book and they too have bonus hit points from some source other than their HD. None of these constructs have a Con score so where are these HP coming from?
I am guessing that this is something new to ver. 3.5, the problem is that Fiend Folio does not mention where these HP come from or what method is used to determine how many of these mystery bonus HP the construct gets. Some constructs have +10, others have +20, still others have +30 and there seems to be no obvious pattern. I vaguely recall seeing a 20HD or so construct with +20hp and another with fewer HD that had +30.
I suspect that WoTC realized how weak constructs really are and created some mechanism in 3.5 to give them bonus HP but does anyone know what the new rule is?
