Message: <blockquote data-quote="UnholyD" data-source="post: 6261213" data-attributes="member: 6774868">I'll try to keep this short and sweet.I'm playing a D&D 3.5 campaign with a few buddies of mine at college and one of my pals is playing a Ranger. Go figure, he wants a special Animal Companion, more specifically a Construct Companion, but this is of course because his Ranger is a Warforged, a Living Construct.Now I've done my fair share of hunting through my vast collection of D&D 3.5 books and searching forums on multiple sites and still can't find any answers. What I'm looking for, is if there is a feat or something somewhere that I am missing that would greatly reduce the amount of work I need to do to help him make this happen.Further information that could be helpful is as follows:Yes, our DM says that it is ok for him to have a Construct Animal Companion if we can find rules allowing this. Or, failing that, if we can come up with a simple homebrew for it.I, as the Orc Artificer, will also be the one tasked with making it so it's not as if we can't get it done. So, seeing as how I have to construct it in the game, I also wanted some part in making it out of game so I would know what I'd be getting into.I've also been looking for Construct Templates that I could use and cannot find any besides Effigy and it is a poor choice for a Construct Template in my opinion for this as it removes the Base Creature's Int Score which removes all it's Feats and Skills, things that are necessary for an Animal Companion.I've also looked at the Iron Defender Homunculus out of the Eberron Campaign Setting and think it would work well enough given how Homunculi have Int Scores. The only problem I'm running into is the Binding Ritual part of creating a Homunculus. It requires 1 pint of the "creator's" blood. Is there a way that I, as the builder of said creature, do all the work but instead of using my blood use the Warforged's "magical liquid essence" and bind it to him instead.We've been homebrewing as little as necessary so anything out of "official" D&D 3rd or 3.5 Edition Books is our first choice. 2nd is if there's anything in a Dragon Magazine Issue somewhere. We don't have ready access to 3.5 content out of Dragon Magazine so I wouldn't know where to begin looking there.Any help is appreciated and if any further information is necessary, I'm more than happy to give out what I can.</blockquote>
