A miniature servant created by a wizard that serves as an effective spy, messenger, or scout

A Homunculus is a miniature servant created by a wizard. It is a weak combatant but makes for an effective spy, messenger, or scout. A homunculus's creator determines its precise features. A homunculus cannot speak, but the process of creating one links it telepathically with its creator. It knows what its master knows and can convey to them everything it sees and hears (up to a distance of 1,500 feet). A homunculus never travels beyond this range willingly, though it can be moved forcibly. If this occurs, the creature does everything in its power to regain contact with its master. An attack that destroys a homunculus deals 2d10 points of damage to its master. A homunculus will try to climb onto its victim and bite with its venomous fangs. On a failed save vs. Poison, the opponent will fall asleep for 6d6 minutes. If the master is slain the homunculus also dies, its body swiftly melting away into a pool of ichor.

This vaguely humanoid creature is about the size of a cat but looks more like a toothy, winged devil.

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 creator, 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 messenger, a homunculus is an invaluable servant for a spellcaster engaged in secret experimentation or adventuring.

Homunculus

Winged Servant Given Magical Life

A mage can create a cat-sized, obedient assistant called a homunculus through a ritual that uses the mage's blood. Each homunculus shares a telepathic bond with the mage who created it and loyally serves its creator. A homunculus is reduced to inert material if its creator dies.

A homunculus's appearance reflects its creator's tastes. Roll on or choose a result from the Homunculus Features table to inspire a homunculus's form.

A homonculus is a small construct that is vaguely humanoid in form, stands about 18-in tall, and has bat-like wings with a 24-in wingspan. Homonculi have greenish reptilian skin, a bat-like head and ears, and a mouth full of needle sharp teeth. The bite of a homonculus is venomous and causes a comatose state for 1d6×5 (5-30) minutes unless the victim saves vs magic to negate. A homonculus is a reflection of its magic user creator and therefore rolls saves at whatever level its owner makes his saving throws. Magical defences in effect upon the owner, resist fire or bless for example, also protect the homonculus. Similarly, its alignment is the same as its creator's alignment. A homonculus cannot speak, but knows what its creator knows, and can communicate what it sees and hears to its creator via a limited form of telepathy up to 500-ft away. A homonculus will never willingly exceed the maximum communication range. The homonculus is completely under control of its creator, who need not concentrate on control to maintain it. This means the homonculus can be given a specific goal, which it will then plan to achieve, carrying out its orders without further attention from its creator.
