Rudimentary Intelligence

Type: General
Source: Dragon #327

Your construct possesses intelligence.
Prerequisite: Construct: Construct, no Intelligence score.
Creator: Craft Construct, CL 12th.
Benefit: A spellcaster applying this augmentation bestows an Intelligence score upon his creation equal to 1/2 his caster level. In addition to being able to make judgments and decisions as any other creature with a similar Intelligence score, the construct gains feats and skill points befitting an intelligent construct of its Hit Dice (see page 301 of the Monster Manual for information on how to determine and distribute monstrous feats and skills). This augmentation cannot add additional Intelligence to a construct that normally has an Intelligence score. A golem that gains intelligence in this manner is still bound to the will of its creator as normal.
A clay golem with rudimentary intelligence costs 48,000 gp and requires a spellcaster to spend 48 days, 29,500 gp, and 1,920 XP to create. Such a golem gains an Intelligence score of 6, four feats, and 14 skill points.
Special: Cost: +8,000 gp.
CR Adjustment: 11 HD or less, as base creature; HD 12-23, as base creature +1; RD 24 or more, as base creature +2.
