Lognor 08-25-06, 01:26 AM	I was wondering... When one reads the information in ECS it claims that one needs to use a Pint of ones own blood to effectively make the "link" Im guessing to the Homunculous... it says nothign about any type of Ritual involved with said blood... Just that it is used in crafting the Homunculous... So I was wondering... If my artificer took the blood from a comrade in the group... and built a Homunculous using said comrades blood to give it Life.... woudl it then be linked to my Comrade..? and thus... i could effectively Deck out my comrades each with an Iron defender and Expeditious messenger and ETC...? (I know I would suffer XP loss... and it would take a lot of time... right now its just an Idea...) But Would it work..? is there anything that says I cant do it..? since other items I craft can be given to/ sold to my comrades.. why cant I create a Homunculous for them too? Secondly.... Just a curiousity.. but.. how do people Explain a Warforge Artificer Giving up Blood for creating a Homunculous... WF DONT have Blood as far as I understand... Im assuming they simply use an equivalent substance... But... still they dont need to drink fluids... or any such... so... What would be in their system that they could use..? :confused:

As it happens, the person to whom the homunculus is linked does not have to be the person who builds it, but they must be the donor of the blood and the person who performs the ritual (i.e. casts the spells) that animates it. So while a character might be able to craft a homunculus for someone else, they would not be able to link it to that other person. As to your second question, warforged bodies contain significant quantities of alchemical fluids similar in purpose to blood, though perhaps more closely related at a chemical level to tree sap. —Siran Dunmorgan
