06-12-04, 01:16 AM I'm a 6th level Wizard who just picked up Craft Construct, and while there are plenty of fun things to make later, right now I can't even make a homunculus. Can anyone help?

Monsters of Faerun:
Crawling Claw

Gain a level and you can make a Bogun.
Make The Prince

Just make sure they don't take everything after the rituals .... :rolleyes:

06-12-04, 11:58 AM You need to be a druid to make a bogun (stats for which can be found in three places: Masters of the Wild, MMII, and Complete Divine).

06-12-04, 10:56 PM Hello, those things are usful. Just make 2 or 3 of them, it isnt that expensive IMO for a 5th level Wizard or Sorcerer, they make great body guards and cannon fodder for low level Wizards.

06-13-04, 08:17 AM I believe the Dread Guard (MMII) is one of the more useful constructs with a low caster level (5th according to the 3.5 update). Not too expensive either, nor does it require the use of a "wish-like" effect. If you give it some enhanced armor and weapons (and up its HD by a step so it can take weapon focus) it can be as decent a fighter as a 3rd or 4th level character.

Normally, unless you want weaker constructs like this, Craft Construct isn't that good until about 11th level.
