Your experimentation has yielded you a loyal Homunculus
Servant. You determine its appearance, but this has no effect
on its abilities. It is friendly to you, and it obeys your orders. It
uses the Homunculus Servant stat block on this page, which
uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places.
Creating the Homunculus. During a long rest, you can
spend 1 hour using tinker’s tools to create a Homunculus.
You can only have one Homunculus. If you create another the
previous turns to ash. If your Homunculus dies, you expend a
spell slot and spend 1 minute repairing it with your tinker’s
tools, restoring it to life with its maximum hit points. If you
die, your Homunculus turns to ash after 1 minute.
Combat. In combat, your Homunculus acts during your
turn. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but it only
takes the Dodge action on its turn unless you use your bonus
action to order it to take an action in its stat block, or another
action. If you are incapacitated, your Homunculus can act on
its own and will defend its master to the best of its abilities.
