Homunculus[edit]

This race and class were intended as a variant for the Transmutation Alchemist's and its variants’, as well as similar classes’, homunculus feature. As such, a handful of lore has been omitted.

As homunculi can be formed from already existing creatures, it is up to your DM whether or not you retain your original racial traits, though you typically do not.

Physical Description[edit]

Ouroboros_Tatoo.JPG
An Ouroboros signifying a homunculus, [Source].

Homunculi, on a surface level, resemble a normal humanoid species, though with much more pronounced features. They often either extremely masculine or feminine, lack any gender-based features whatsoever, or have the extremes of both. There are only 2 ways to truly know that somebody is a homunculus. Firstly, all homunculi bear a tattoo on some part of their body in the shape of an Ouroboros, the self-consuming serpent. Secondly, when a homunculus is injured, they will emit crackling, red electricity from the injury as they reconstitute themselves atom-by-atom. There are two ways to create a homunculus. The first is to inject a philosopher’s stone into the bloodstream of a substantially sturdy humanoid creature. This process usually results in a 99.9% failure rate as the host’s body is destroyed and rebuilt countless times. The other method is for a creature that already contains a substantially powerful philosophers stone to split off a part of itself. From this stone fragment forms a wholly unique being based around a singular element of the creature, greatly reducing that element in the original.

History[edit]

Long ago, in a vast, long forgotten kingdom, one alchemist created a truly artificial creature; a small, gaseous being contained within a flask. This being held no physical strength to the point that even exiting his container would kill him instantly, but his intellect surpassed any mortal man. After allying himself with a simple slave, he quickly rose to the rank of royal advisor. Convincing the king that a plan he hatched would bring him immortality, the dwarf converted the nation’s entire population into a philosopher’s stone. But instead of implanting into the king, the stone was split. One half laid within the slave, making him the first modern homunculus. The other half formed the other being’s body, copying the slave’s appearance as a twisted form of thanks. They separated afterwards, both vowing to bring an end to the other. All homunculi originate from these two, whether it be by those following the information devised by the dwarf in the flask, or as a fragment of the originators' stone as a sort of "purification", embodying the majority of a part of their souls as indicated by their name.

Society[edit]

Homunculi usually act as infiltrators for their creator, hiding in the shadows, in plain sight, and in the highest office to complete schemes often hundreds of years in the making. In very rare cases, most often among the manifestations of greed or pride, a homunculus rebels against their creator. In these situations, they often dedicate their “lives” to surpassing and obliterating them.

Homunculus Names[edit]

As most homunculi are pieces of a whole, they take names resembling the personality fragment they embody. As such, they are gender neutral.

Names: Pride, Greed, Gluttony, Lust, Charity, Diligence, Kindness, Temperance, Joy, Creativity, Fear, Sorrow.

Age. Homunculi do not age and can feasibly live forever, having the combined lifespans of the souls inside their stone.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Darkvision. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Vortex of Souls. When you are targeted by detect magic or a similar effect, or contacted by any form of two-way telepathy, the caster hears the screams of every soul inside of you and must succeed a DC 21-your Wisdom or Charisma modifier Charisma saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute. They may retry this saving throw at the end of each of their turns, ending this effect early on a success.

Suggested Characteristics[edit]

When creating a homunculus character, you can use the table of traits, ideals, bonds, flaws, height, and weight respective to their original race to help flesh out their character with one deviation. The height and weight table’s minimum value decreased by 15%, rounded down, and you roll 1 additional die for height.
