HOMUNCULUS Your homunculus’ hit dice are equal to your

You have created a homunculus to assist you in
your experiments and research. It has the size
and statistics of a standard homunculus, and it
may have any form and be made of any material
you wish. You can guide yourself by your tool
proficiencies to choose your homunculus’ nature
and appearance; for example, your homunculus
may be an organic creature or a puff of elemental
matter if you’re proficient in alchemist’s supplies,
but it may be a tiny clockwork toy or a sentient
tool if you are proficient in tinker’s tools, a tiny
animated armor or a flying knife if you have smith’s
tools, or a tiny plant if you have herbalism kit.
proficiency bonus. Your homunculus may add
either its Proficiency bonus or yours to its attack
rolls, and to ability checks using skills and tools
that you’re proficient with. You may change the
damage type of your homunculus’ attacks to any
one damage type of your choice, but you may not
change that choice later.
Your homunculus moves and attacks on its own
initiative, but you can use your action to give it
specific telepathic commands. Your homunculus
won’t use its spell-like abilities unless commanded
to do so.

3
 If your homunculus dies, you can create another
homunculus as a downtime activity requiring
a total of 24 hours and an expenditure of gold
pieces equal to your genius level x 100. The new
homunculus may have a different type and form
than the previous one.
You begin play with one homunculus. You gain
a second homunculus when you reach 7th level,
and a third one when you reach 14th level. Each
of your homunculi is a different construct with its
own separate abilities.
HOMUNCULUS ABILITIES
When you gain a homunculus, choose a number
of spells equal to your Intelligence modifier
(minimum 1 spell), from any spell list, up to the
level shown in the Homunculus Ability Level
column of The Genius table. Your homunculus
may use the chosen spells as innate abilities, but
it will not use them unless you spend an action to
command it to do so.
Once your homunculus uses an ability,
you must finish a long or short rest before the
homunculus may use the ability again.
Every time your Intelligence modifier increases
by 1 point, as per a permanent ability score
increase, you may add a new ability to your
homunculus of the maximum appropriate level, by
spending 1 day of tinkering per spell level of the
ability you want to add.
Use your own Intelligence to calculate the save DC
and attack modifiers of your homunculus’ abilities.
Ability save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus +
your Intelligence modifier
Ability attack modifier = your proficiency bonus +
your Intelligence modifier
As you advance in levels, you tweak and improve
your homunculi, allowing them to store better
abilities. Every time you gain a Genius level, you
can replace one of your homunculus’ abilities
with a new ability, choosing a new spell from any
spell list of a level up to the one shown in the
Homunculus Ability Level column. The new spell
becomes your homunculus’ new ability.
4
TINKERING
You can quickly modify the gear of your allies.
You may spend 10 minutes working on one
Small or smaller item within 5 feet of you of your
homunculus. The item must be unattended or in
the possession of a friendly creature, and you must
be proficient with a tool set that allows you to add
your proficiency bonus to checks relevant to the
chosen item.
Choose one category from attack rolls, ability
checks or saving throws. If the item deals damage
or restores hit points, you may also choose damage
rolls or healing rolls. For 24 hours after you use this
feature, whenever a friendly creature is holding,
wearing or touching the chosen item, you may add
your Tinker Die to the chosen die roll category
when using the chosen item .
Once you use this feature, you must finish a
long rest before using it again.
Defensive Tinkering. Starting at 10th level, instead
of adding your Tinker Die to any die roll using the
item, you may choose to subtract your Tinker Die
from either the attack or damage rolls made against
any creature that is holding, touching or wearing
the chosen item for the effect’s duration.
INSPIRED CRAFT
Beginning at 2nd level, you improve your crafting
skills and tools. When you use the Crafting
downtime activity, you only need to spend half the
listed time.
UTILITY BELT
Starting at 2nd level, you acquire a knack for
having the right tool at the right time.
As an action, you can search your gear for
any nonmagical item of your choice from the
equipment list, of a size that allows it to fit inside
your pack or pockets, with a cost no higher than
your Genius level x 100.
After the action, you have a consumable version
of the chosen item in your hand. You may use the
item for 10 minutes, after which it disappears.
Once you use this ability, you need to finish a long
rest before you use it again.
FIELD SPECIALIZATION
At 3rd level, you specialize in a Genius field.
Choose one from the Architect, who specializes
in gigantic constructs; the Bomber, who applies
science to war; the Chimerist, who experiments
with living things; or the Guild Genius, a master
of gadgets and designs. These specializations are
described starting on page 85.
Your field specialization expands on the tools
and materials you may use for your work. Each
specialization grants you an Alignment Aspect (see
the Alignment section) and 3 tool proficiencies at
3rd level. You gain further specialized features at
9th, 13th and 17th level.
ABILITY SCORE IMPROVEMENT
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th,
16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability
score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two
ability scores of your choice by 1. You can’t increase
an ability score above 20 using this feature.
HOMUNCULUS TWEAKS
Starting at 5th level, you begin to give further
modifications to your homunculi. When you reach
5th level, and once again at 10th and 15th level,
choose one homunculus tweak from the list below
and apply it to one of your homunculi. The chosen
tweak benefits only the chosen homunculus.
Advanced Hit Dice. Your chosen homunculus’
maximum hit points cannot be lower than your
own hit points, and its hit dice equal your hit dice.
Your homunculus may now spend hit dice to heal
itself during a short rest.
Advanced Intelligence. Your chosen
homunculus gains 2 skill proficiencies and 2
saving throw proficiencies.
Expanded Abilities. Choose 2 new spells from any
spell list of a level up to your homunculus ability
level limit. Your chosen homunculus gains the
chosen spells as new abilities.
Improved Attacks. Your chosen homunculus’ bite
attack is replaced by two melee attacks relevant to
your homunculus’ form (2 slams, 2 claws, 1 bite
and one other attack, etc.). Your homunculus may
5
perform both attacks in a single attack action. Each
of your homunculus’ improved attacks deals 1d6 +
Dex modifier damage of one type of your choice.
Improved Defenses. Your chosen homunculus
gains a +1 bonus to its AC. Also, when your chosen
homunculus is dealt enough damage to destroy it,
it’s only unconscious, and you may repair it at no
cost as part of a short or long rest.
Independent. You only require a bonus action to
command your homunculus to perform any action.
Power Source. Your chosen homunculus gains
a magical power source. As an action, you can
command it to recharge. The homunculus regains
the use of one of its abilities.
DAMAGE RESISTANCE
As you advance in levels, you become used to
working with dangerous chemicals and reactions.
Upon reaching 5th level, you gain resistance to
one damage type of your choice from acid, cold,
electricity, fire, necrotic, poison, radiant or thunder.
This resistance extends to all your homunculi.
You gain a second damage resistance upon
reaching 11th level, and a third when you reach
18th level.
GENIUS EXPERTISE
Upon reaching 6th level, choose one of your skill
proficiencies or two of your tool proficiencies. Your
proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check
you make using the chosen skill or tools.
MASTER EXPERTISE
When you reach 15th level, you have attained
mastery in your areas of expertise. When you make
an ability check using the proficiencies affected by
your Genius Expertise feature, if your check result
is lower than 15, it’s 15 instead.
MAGNUM OPUS
When you reach 20th level, you have discovered
the supreme secrets of arcane science. You may
choose a formula from the list below. Your chosen
formula gives specific benefits.
Gold Stone. You can permanently maintain an
Aristocratic lifestyle, and you no longer need to
spend gold to buy or craft any item.
Immortality. You are immune to aging effects
and cannot die of old age, and you can no longer
suffer Exhaustion.
Panacea. You become immune to necrotic and
poison damage. You become immune to disease
and the Poisoned condition.
Supreme Matter. All your weapon attacks and your
homunculi’s natural attacks deal additional necrotic
damage equal to your Intelligence modifier, and
ignore damage resistances or immunities.
ARCHITECT
You are a builder of monuments and machines, of
plans and blueprints. The Architect school dates
from millennia ago, from the architects that ruled
— and erected — the civilized world during the
Altanesi Empire’s Golden Age. As an Architect,
you have mastered masonry and engineering, but
also the mathematical and physical forces that hold
objects together and allow them to interact.
Aspect
Starting at 3rd level when you choose this
specialization, you gain one Aspect of your
choice from Dream, Source or Will (see the
Alignment section).
Specialized Tools
Upon reaching 3rd level, you gain proficiency with
carpenter’s tools, cartographer’s tools and mason’s
tools if you didn’t have them already, and you
gain advantage on all ability checks where these
proficiencies apply.
Colossus
Upon reaching 3rd level, your homunculus
becomes a Colossus, with the size and statistics
of an animated armor. It retains its Intelligence,
6
Wisdom, Charisma and spell-like abilities.
When you gain a new homunculus, you may
choose to give it the base stats of an animated
armor, retaining a homunculus’ Intelligence,
Wisdom and Charisma.
Greater Colossus
Upon reaching 9th level, you may increase the size
of one of your colossi to Large. Instead of gaining
a 3rd homunculus at 14th level, you may increase
its size to Huge, or increase the size of your second
homunculus to Large.
Every time you increase the size of a colossus, its
Strength and Constitution increase by 2, and the
damage of its slam attacks increases by 1 category
(1d8 + Str modifier if the colossus becomes Large,
2d6 + Str modifier if it becomes Huge).
You may climb on a Large or larger colossus as if
it was a mount or vehicle.
A colossus cannot squeeze into places meant for
smaller creatures.
Build to Last
Starting at 13th level, any item or building crafted
by you, including your Colossi, has a minimum
AC equal to 8 + your Intelligence modifier
+ your proficiency bonus. Also, any item or
building crafted by you, including your Colossi, is
considered resilient and has the maximum possible
hit points for an object of its size:
OBJECT SIZE OBJECT HIT POINTS
Tiny 8
Small 18
Medium 32
Large 50
Huge+ 100 per 15 x 15 section
Magical Refuge
Beginning at 17th level, you can build a magical
refuge for you and your party to rest in.
As part of a short or long rest, you may erect
various walls and wards that protect you and up to
10 other creatures of your choice inside a 30 x 30
perimeter. Until you finish your short or long rest,
every creature in your camp has total cover from
any creature outside your camp.
BOMBER
Specialist bombers are expert alchemists that focus
on explosive substances — the most devastating
force known to science, discovered by shiv halflings
at the onset of the Tyverian Empire. Most bombers
use their abilities for criminal, espionage and
military endeavors, although they can also help
the mining and building industry. As a bomber,
you are a master of explosions, and a volatile and
destructive force yourself.
Aspect
Starting at 3rd level when you choose this
specialization, you gain the Will aspect of your
alignment (see the Alignment section).
Specialized Tools
Upon reaching 3rd level, you gain proficiency with
alchemist’s supplies, brewer’s supplies and potter’s
tools if you didn’t have them already, and you
gain advantage on all ability checks where these
proficiencies apply.
Genius Bomb
Upon reaching 3rd level, choose an explosive
material from acid, cold, electricity, fire, poison or
thunder. You may now easily craft explosives out of
the chosen material.
As part of a long rest, if you have alchemist’s
supplies or brewer’s supplies, you may create a
number of genius bombs equal to your Intelligence
modifier.
You may throw a genius bomb to a space of
your choice up to 30 feet away. Every creature and
object within 10 feet of the target must succeed on
a Dexterity saving throw (DC equal to 8 + your
7
proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier)
or take damage of the chosen type equal to your
proficiency bonus x 1d8.
You can have as many genius bombs as your
Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1 bomb) at any
given time. If you have created genius bombs equal
or greater to your Intelligence modifier, you cannot
build any more bombs until you use at least one of
your current bombs.
Versatile Bombs
When you reach 9th level, you may choose
a second explosive material from acid, cold,
electricity, fire, necrotic, poison, radiant or thunder.
Every time you create a genius bomb, you may
choose to make it deal damage of a type matching
either of your known explosive materials.
You may also choose a condition from Blinded,
Incapacitated or Restrained. Any creature that fails
its save against one of your genius bombs gains the
chosen condition until the end of your next turn.
Selective bombing
Starting at 13th level, you may choose which
targets in your genius bomb’s blast radius are
affected by the bomb and which are not.
Master Bombs
Upon reaching 17th level, you may choose a third
explosive material from acid, cold, electricity, fire,
force, necrotic, poison, psychic, radiant or thunder.
Every time you create a genius bomb, you may
choose to make it deal damage of a type matching
any of your known explosive materials.
You may also choose a condition from Petrified
or Unconscious. Any creature that fails its save
against one of your genius bombs gains the chosen
condition for 1 minute.
Chimerist
You are a practitioner of Zoethurgy, or Creature
Alchemy, as developed in the Arkane Dominion
of Sikaria. Zoethurgists experiment with living
creatures to give them new abilities and, sometimes,
create new lifeforms. As a chimerist, you are not
content to passively watch the cycle of life — you
take a hand on it.
Aspect
Starting at 3rd level when you choose this
specialization, you gain the Source aspect of your
alignment (see the Alignment section).
Specialized Tools
Upon reaching 3rd level, you gain proficiency
with alchemist’s supplies, brewer’s supplies and
herbalism kit if you didn’t have them already, and
you gain advantage on all ability checks where these
proficiencies apply.
Kaimera
Upon reaching 3rd level, your homunculus evolves
to a kaimera, a fully living creature. Choose any
beast or monstrosity with a CR no greater than
1/8. Your homunculus permanently gains the
statistics, abilities and attributes of that creature,
retaining its Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma.
Your homunculus loses its fly speed if the animal
form doesn’t have one. A kaimera retains all of its
special homunculus abilities, and may gain new
ones normally.
You can also choose your kaimera to be of an
unusual color or shape, as long as you don’t alter its
basic stats and functions further.
Whenever you gain a new homunculus, you
may choose to make it a kaimera, giving it the
base stats of an animal or monstrosity with a CR
no greater than 1/8, retaining a homunculus’
Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma.
Test Subject
Starting at 9th level, you have begun
experimenting on yourself. Choose one spell from
any spell list, up to your homunculus ability level
limit; you gain that spell as an innate ability, as if
you were one of your homunculi. Once you use
your chosen ability, you must finish a short or
long rest before using it again.
Advanced Test
Upon reaching 13th level, your experiments grant
you a special benefit. Choose one trait from the list
below; you and all your current and future kaimerai
gain the chosen trait.
8
• Resistance to one damage type of your choice
from acid, cold, fire, electricity, necrotic, poison
or radiant.
• A +1 bonus to AC when not wearing armor.
• Your natural weapons or unarmed attacks deal
+1d4 damage of a type of your choice. The
chosen damage type must be the same for you
and all your kaimerai.
• Advantage on Perception checks and
Darkvision out to 60 feet.
• +10 to base speed.
Ultimate Test
Upon reaching 17th level, you have become a
superior lifeform through experimentation. You
gain the following benefits:
You may increase one of your ability scores by 2
points, or two of your ability scores by 1 point each.
Your metabolism has become superhumanly
efficient; you now only need half the required time
to take a long or short rest, and you gain advantage
on checks and saving throws to avoid becoming
Exhausted.
You no longer grow old, although you may still
die of old age.
GUILD GENIUS
The most famous artificers in the world, the crafters
of the Grand Guild of Allaria are known for their
outlandish creations, none of which resembles none
other. They sell these creations all across Valerna,
both as arcane curiosities and as priceless industrial
tools. As a guild genius, you pride yourself on the
creativity, originality and unrepeatability of your
inventions.
Aspect
Starting at 3rd level when you choose this
specialization, you gain the Dream aspect of your
alignment (see the Alignment section).
Specialized Tools
Upon reaching 3rd level, you gain proficiency with
land vehicles, smith’s tools and tinker’s tools if you
didn’t have them already, and you gain advantage
on all ability checks where these proficiencies apply.
Animated Object
Upon reaching 3rd level, you may give your
homunculus the body of an animated object up
to Large size. It retains its homunculus statistics,
but its Strength, Dexterity and attacks change
as indicated below. Its damage type may be
bludgeoning, piercing or slashing depending on the
object type.
OBJECT STR DEX ATTACK
SIZE
Tiny 7 15 +4 to hit, 1d4 + 2 damage
Small 9 13 +3 to hit, 1d6 + 1 damage
Medium 10 12 +3 to hit, 1d8 + 1 damage
Large 15 7 +4 to hit, 2d6 + 2 damage
The homunculus’ AC and maximum hit points
become equal to your Intelligence score. When
you increase your Intelligence score, your animated
object’s AC and maximum hit points increase
accordingly. You may repair all damage done to
your animated object using smith’s tools or tinker’s
tools as part of a short rest, unless the object was
destroyed.
The animated object retains its homunculus
abilities, and may gain new abilities as normal.
If your animated object is Large, you can use it
as a vehicle, comfortably seating up to 4 Medium
or smaller creatures. It loses its fly speed, but it
gains a 40’ base speed.
Object Upgrades
Upon reaching 9th level, your animated object
gains one of the tweaks below, and you may add
these upgrades to the list of homunculus tweaks for
all homunculi you create.
Cannon. Your homunculus has a ranged attack.
Choose any one damage type; as an action, your
9
homunculus can make a ranged weapon attack at
a target within 120 feet, adding your proficiency
bonus to the attack and dealing 4d6 damage of the
chosen type on a successful hit. After using this
ability, your homunculus may not use it again until
you have finished a short or long rest.
Improved Speed. Your chosen homunculus’ land
speed increases by +10 feet, and it may ignore
difficult terrain when taking the Dash action.
Large hands. Your chosen homunculus gains
two retractable, large hands. As an action, it may
grapple Medium or smaller creatures, or make two
slam attacks dealing 1d6 bludgeoning damage +
Strength modifier each.
Protected Passengers. If your chosen homunculus
is a vehicle, creatures aboard it have total cover
from creatures outside the vehicle, and they have
damage resistance against area attacks.
Self-destruct. As an action, you may command
your chosen homunculus to detonate, dealing
10d10 damage of one type of your choice to every
creature within 20 feet of it. Every affected creature
may attempt a Dexterity saving throw (DC equal
to 8 + your Intelligence modifier + your proficiency
bonus), taking only half damage on a success. The
homunculus is destroyed afterwards.
Sensors. Your homunculus gains truesight out to
30 feet.
Smoke Cloud. As an action, your chosen
homunculus may emit a cloud of black smoke
in a 15’ x 15’ area. Every creature inside the area
is heavily obscured. The cloud lasts for 1 minute
before dissipating.
Versatile movement. If your chosen homunculus
is a vehicle, it gains a 20 ft. fly speed or a 20 ft.
swim speed. Creatures on board the vehicle are
not considered airborne or underwater while
inside the vehicle.
Workshop. If your chosen homunculus is Large, it
contains a self-replenishing factory and laboratory.
When you are within 5 ft. of your homunculus,
you may craft any nonmagical item without having
to spend any gold.
Improved Utility Belt
Starting at 13th level, you may use your Utility
Belt feature to retrieve a common or uncommon
consumable magic item. A retrieved magic item
disappears if not used within 1 minute.
Inspired Inventor
Beginning at 17th level, you infuse all your tools
with magic. You gain a +1 bonus to all ability
checks, saving throws and attack rolls while
wielding, using or wearing tools, weapons or items
that you’re proficient in. Your improvised weapons
and your homunculi’s attacks and improvised
weapons count as magical.
