Stitcher Homunculi are creatures created by the spell Ell's Handy Homunculus. They are utilitarian workhorses, mending torn items good as new. They're popular in commoner communities where clothes are a valuable asset not to be wasted if possible.

Stitcher have a +8 racial bonus to Craft checks.

While generally constructs are neutral, a homunculi picks up the alignment of its creator on casting.

Combat
Handy homunculi make poor weapons. However when pressed it can stab with its threading spines. This is not a good idea of course.

Weaver (Su): A Stitcher Homunculus may employ Mending as the spell, at a CL equal to its HD at will.

Construction
The body is made of metal and spider webs, with the core crystal often embedded in the back. A drop of the caster's blood is mixed in with the webbing, which is placed in a hallow in the back and covered by the crystal that fuses tight on casting Ell's Handy Homunculus. The entire cost of supplies equals 500 gp.

Assembling the body requires a DC 15 Craft (metalworking) or Craft (weaving) check.
