HOMUNCULUS -----....,;i;l4 Condition Immunities c ha rmed, poisoned

Shaping a mixture of clay, ash, mandrake root, and

blood, one can channel rare ritual magic to create a

faithful, squirrel-sized companion.

A homunculus is a construct that acts as an extension

of its c reator, with the two sharing thoughts, senses,

and language through a mystical bond. A master can

have only one homunculus at a time (attempts to create

another one always fail), and when its master dies, the

homunculus also dies.

Shared Mind. A homunculus knows everything its

creator knows, including all the languages the creator

can speak and read. Likewise, everything the construct

senses is known to its master, even over great distances,

provided both are on the same plane. Functioning as a

spy, a scout, an emissary, or a messe nger, a homunculus

is an invaluable servant for a spellcaster engaged in

secret experimentation or adventuring.

Telepathic Bond. While the homunculus is on the same

plane of e xistence as its master, it can magically convey

what it senses to its master, and the two can communicate

telepathically.
