Telepathic Bond. While the bogun is on the same plane of existence as its creator, it can magically convey what it senses to its creator, and the two can communicate telepathically.
Brushing Sting. A bogun attacks by brushing against opponents with nettle-like prickles that deliver an irritating poison. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: Target must succeed on a DC 11 Constitution saving throw or take 1d6 poison damage. The bogun's creator is immune to this poison.
Description
A bogun is a small nature servant created by a druid. The creator determines its precise features, but the typical bogun stands about 18 inches tall and has a wingspan of about 2 feet. Like a homunculus, it is an extension of its creator, sharing the same alignment and link to nature. A bogun does not fight particularly well, but it can perform any simple action, such as attacking, carrying a message, or opening a door or window.
For the most part, a bogun simply carries out its creator’s instructions. Because it is self-aware and somewhat willful, however, its behavior is not entirely predictable. On rare occasions (5% of the time), the bogun may refuse to perform a particular task. In that case, the creator must make a Charisma (Persuasion) check (DC 11) to convince the creature to cooperate. Success means the bogun performs the task as requested; failure indicates that it either does exactly the opposite or refuses to do anything at all for one day (DM’s option as to which).
A druid can have only one bogun at a time (attempts to create another one always fail). If the creator is slain, the bogun also dies, and its body collapses into a heap of rotting vegetation.
Shared Mind. A bogun knows everything its creator knows, including all the languages the creator can speak and read. Likewise, everything the construct senses is known to its master, even over great distances, provided both are on the same plane.
