What happens to simulacrum if you die? ›

As long as you don't lose all your HP, Simulacrum will last. The Simulacrums can still die with every other Set though.

A simulacrum can copy a simulacrum, because they're not constructs, they're whatever type they were copied from. However, your slot economy is off - when a wizard casts the spell, the copy that's made is missing the slot the wizard expended to cast the spell.

The Simulacrum is an Illusion

No matter how human the Simulacra appear to be, at the end of the day they are effectively just animated ice/snow sculptures. Depending on the depth of the illusion, they could appear to have functioning reproductive organs, and even go so far as to appear to get pregnant and give birth.

As other answers here provide, a simple answer is yes, a simulacrum eats, drinks, sleeps, and breathes. After all, it is a creature, and creatures need to eat, drink, sleep, and breathe; and the spell doesn't say it doesn't have to do these things, so it must.

The simulacrum has the statistics of the creature and half its hit points - it does not have any of the racial or class features except for spell slots that cannot be regained so healing surges and short rests don't come into it. If the simulacrum is damaged, you can repair it ... You can repair it; you can't heal it.

No, as your corpse is not you. The creature you copy has to be present.

If you ever try to cast it again, the previous one poofs into snow, so you're limited to a single simulacrum (more on ways to break past this in a bit).

The Simulacrum is an infinitely scaling wave based alternative game mode that is new to the Survivors of the Void update and DLC. Dio's Best Friend useless for this game mode if played in multiplayer. Special modifiers known as Augments may also (randomly) trigger upon the start of a wave.

Yes, because the simulacrum is a creature. The points you present are plausible reasons for why a DM might disallow cloning a simulacrum in their own campaign setting, but a strict reading of the rules shows that you can clone a simulacrum.

RAW, nothing prevents a simulacrum from casting magic jar.

That being said, there is nothing mechanically that would prevent a simulacrum with a 6th level slot from casting magic jar on itself.

Can you cast polymorph on a simulacrum? ›

Being a simulacrum isn't a statistic of the form.

yes, your Simulacrum is even when true polymorphed just affected by a spell that can be negated by other means, it is still your simulacrum and would be destroyed.

And then you simply hand him over an arcane focus so it can cast all spells without costly components. The biggest issue for a Wizard creating a Simulacrum of itself is that the Simulacrum does not come with it's own spell book, and so needs the Wizard to write one out for it or have prepared to give to it.

Exactly one Simulacrum will spawn per world in an overworld area. Its location is rolled from a small set of specific locations in the area, listed above. The Simulacrum found in the Forbidden Grove is only accessible after both mid-bosses, near the lever that activates the Water Harp.

Simulacrum is an endless, wave-based arena mode that can be played in both single or multiplayer. Taking place in a Void simulation, there is only one outcome: your simulated demise.

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.
