Flesh Sculptor

You create a loyal undead companion known as a Fleshbound, stitched together through forbidden surgery and necromantic experimentation.

You can perform a 1-hour ritual during a Long Rest to create or restore your Fleshbound.

The Fleshbound acts on your initiative and takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but it only takes an action if you use a Bonus Action to command it. If you are incapacitated, the Fleshbound takes the Dodge action.
