* BecomeARealBoy: One of their advanced improvements is to become human (and switch playbooks).
* BrutishCharacterBrutishWeapon: The Constructed is super-strong and tough, and emphasizes this by having a big weapon.
* MadeOfIron: The Constructed has three more harm boxes than anyone else, and crucially, does not become unstable when damaged.
* NoSocialSkills: The Constructed has a disadvantage when it comes to social interaction, not understanding humans all that well. For the same reason, others also have a disadvantage when trying to manipulate them.
* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: One option for their origin is that they killed their creator.

* AnchoredTeleportation: The Divine playbook has the Angel Wings special move, which lets the player teleport for free whenever they want. The only limitation is that they can only teleport to places they know well and to people they are close with. However, these restrictions are vague enough that any player can circumvent them, making Angels Wings easily the most overpowered special ability in the game.
