Benefit

Your homunculus gains natural armor and special abilities based on its HD (see chart). If you use the Craft Construct feat to construct a homunculus, it gets these abilities when you create it. If you use the craft homunculus class feature of the artifi cer class, your homunculus gains natural armor and special abilities based on its current HD, and additional natural armor or special abilities if you later increase its HD. All special abilities are described below; those requiring additional information follow the chart. Unless otherwise specifi ed, an ability can only be taken once. Each time the homunculus gains a HD, you can choose to remove any one special ability already granted from this feat and select another ability to replace the lost one. For example, an artifi cer with a 4-HD homunculus that has the climber special ability could choose to give it sneak attack instead if the homunculus's Hit Dice were increased to 5. This feat applies to the character's homunculus regardless of its type. For new types of homunculi, see Chapter 6. Hit --- Natural.

Multiple selections do not stack; instead, each selection of the ability applies to a new skill or weapon ability. Store Infusion: At the beginning of each day, the artifi cer can store one infusion of up to 3rd level in the homunculus. This infusion must be one that the artifi cer could normally imbue the homunculus with. This infusion does not take effect when it is fi rst stored. Instead, the homunculus can use a standard action to imbue itself with the infusion. No homunculus can store more than one infusion at a time. Weapon Ability: When this ability is granted, choose a weapon special ability with a base price modifi er of "+1 bonus," such as ghost touch, keen, or shock. The homunculus's natural weapons are treated as if they had this special ability.
