The SendingStone review

Homunculus is a creature with a neutral alignment and a challenge rating of 0. With a natural armor class of 13 and immunity to being charmed or poisoned, it can be a useful ally for its master. However, with only 5 hit points and limited abilities, it is not particularly formidable in combat. Its skill set is mainly focused on performing tasks for its creator, including scouting, delivering messages, and even casting spells. Despite its usefulness, some may find the idea of creating and controlling a homunculus morally questionable. Overall, the homunculus can be a valuable asset for characters who are willing to take on the responsibilities and potential consequences of its creation.
