Creating what I would consider to be the perfect artificer class for Pathfinder has been a pet project of mine for years now. Inspired by Owen's work, I've more recently switched it to a mostly-Talented format, with just a few key abilities required to be taken at first level (Arcane Pool, Artifice, and Scribe Scroll). I'm close to having a class that is complete enough for me to be happy with, but I keep adding things to it.
A bit of a sticking point for me right now is an ability I added to let artificers take a homunculus companion which borrows things from animal companions, familiars, and eidolons. I really like how it's coming along so far, but I want to have a lot of homunculus customization options (called advancements) and I've been having trouble thinking of an amount of them that I would consider to be adequate for the ability.
I've bought this product in the hopes that it will give me a lot of inspiration with the construct customizations, and from what I've browsed through so far I don't think it will disappoint. Mobile Suit Golem made me smile. It looks like a lot to digest and I can't wait to really dig into it.
But just to let you know, I did notice that my file didn't have a cover page and I noticed a number of typos/grammar mistakes during just a quick scan of the book. Is this maybe an older draft of the book?
And yes, I would totally enjoy free stuff!
Pluvia33, I’ve always been a big fan of the artificer, and hope the book does help you with your efforts! If you have any questions about anything, I'll be doing my best to keep a close eye on the thread here or you can PM me directly. I’m not sure about the version, but we'll get to the bottom of that asap.

Does RGG have any issues with making this product part of the community packages for Hero lab?

I'm doubtless asking way too late, but is this still available for people who bought a copy of the Construct Companion?
