Devs,

First, I'm not sure if this is WAI or if it's a known bug. If it has already been addressed I haven't found it in the sea of noise these forums are.

So, my question is: why are Artificers' homunculi are treated and affected by Augment Summon feat when they are NOT a summoned creature. They're a construct built by its owner or someone built it for and "tethered" to him/her and in many respectsthey are an extension of their owners. I look through some source materials and could not find any info on homunculi treated as a summoned creature. Is it that DDO cannot differentiate between an extra-planar summon and a construct pet kind of bug or is it in place on purpose (and if so, what is the justification for it)? An explanation would be much appreciated.
