I am planning to have my greenwood/Wyroot staff (I had my DM homebrew a greenwood/Wyroot spliced staff with living steel nuggets in it) crafted into a homunculus and the template doesn't say you can you special materials. My plan was to have a druid help with Wood shape with forming the homunculus and a Smith to make the skeletal system out of the nuggets. I just don't know if they kept there properties after construction. It is supposed to be small sized. Does anyone know how this works?
