Description

You shape an illusory duplicate of one Beast or Humanoid that is within range for the entire casting time of the spell. The duplicate is a creature that is partially real. It appears to be the same as the original, but it has half the creature's Hit Point maximum and is formed without any equipment. Otherwise, the illusion uses all the statistics of the creature it duplicates, except that it is a Construct. The simulacrum is friendly to you and creatures you designate. It obeys your spoken commands, moving and acting in accordance with your wishes. The simulacrum lacks the ability to learn or become more powerful, so it never increases its level or other abilities, nor can it regain expended spell slots. If the simulacrum takes damage, you can repair it in an alchemical laboratory using rare herbs and minerals worth 100 GP per Hit Point it regains.
