Construct

Animated Armour

Creatures that are made instead of born. Some only follow a simple set of instructions, while others are imbued with sentience.

Constructs are a type of creature found within Baldur's Gate 3. They are mechanical and non-biological entities animated through magical or technological means. They are frequently encountered throughout the game and can even be summoned by the player with certain spells.

Characteristics

Most constructs are assembled from inorganic matter and as such, many damage types are ineffective against them including Poison, Psychic, and Necrotic. They are also unaffected by conditions that would normally harm organic creatures such as  Bleeding

Conversely, almost all healing effects including  Healing Word,  Lay on Hands, and  Preserve Life have no effect on constructs. However, potions can still heal them.

 Blight does not affect constructs
