Holding up my hand for some assistance please. Had one of my players tell me about an article done up with varients of the Homunculus and it peaked my interest as I've got an Artificer/Golem Master NPC as a reoccuring body in my homebrew campaign. Can anyone tell me what magazine/issue this was in? Thanks!

You see! There ARE others out there just like me. What? Why are laughing?

There are variant homunculi in Magic of Eberron, in the monsters section - as well as rules for advancing homunculi.

Just don't look at the art. The art for all three stinks, and isn't really close to the descriptions of the creatures ('cept maybe the packmate).

There's a couple issues with the rules text I feel as well. Iron defenders really shouldn't come with the 2d10 damage to the creator when they die, given their entire purpose is melee combat.

As written it is not clear if that trait from the regular homonculus passes on to them.

My favorite is the guy who spends the time portion of magic item creation for you, that is soooooooo convenient.

Yes, the Devoted Wright from the Eberron Campaign Setting. Our artificer just received the Create Homunculus level and was going to make one of these. Unfortunately, he died last session. Unfortunate in more ways than one as I play a warforged and he was of great help to me on more than one occassion. [:(]

Thank you Shoe! Now to see if I can run down a copy. Maybe have to plug him up here for comments once I get done tweeking him. Not a lot of folks use the Kingdom of Kalamar material and I think Golem Master was one of the really well done PrCs from that setting.
