Infusion: Homunculus Servant in Dungeons & Dragons 5e

Infusion: Homunculus Servant

0-level (Cantrip) Enchantment

Materials: A gem worth at least 100gp or a dragonshard

You learn intricate methods for magically creating a special homunculus that serves you. The item you infuse serves as the creature's heart, around which the creature's body instantly forms.

You determine the homunculus' appearance. Some artificers prefer mechanical-looking birds, whereas some like winged vials or miniature, animate cauldrons.

The homunculus is friendly to you and your companions, and it obeys your commands. See this creature's game statistics in the Homunculus Servant stat block.

In combat, the homunculus shares your initiative count, but takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction on it's own, but the only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take the action in its stat block or the Dash, Disengage, Help, Hide or Search action.

The homunculus regains 2d6 hit points if the Mending spell is cast on it. If it dies, it vanishes leaving its heart in its space.

Refer to the Homunculus Servant stat block.
Available for: 6th-level Artificer
