[QUOTE="Cap'n Kobold, post: 7298509, member: 6802951"] I'm probably thinking of "creating and animating a tiny construct over the course of a long rest" rather than "casting the spell on a random object." But the net effect would be the same. You could start at a lower level with a Find Familiar, then improve to the animated object spell from XGTE. (Can't remember the name of the spell.) Possibly then on to creating Homunculi at higher levels.) One alternative that I've considered is making artificers full casters, but requiring their class-based magic items and construct companions to be powered by spell slots. So at 2nd level for example, the Artificer can spend a spell slot to empower a couple of small objects as Sending Stones at the end of a long rest. This fits well with using the construct-animation spells with XGtE quite well actually. If you allow magic item creation in your game, then Artificer is definitely one of the classes that would be able to make them. [/QUOTE]
