Sounds reasonable.

Personally I'd say it uses a damage track. I made a homonculus body
for my ally just in case. It uses its physical stats and fights as a
dual-natured critter (not that it has EVER fought anything). It gets
armor and a fair amount more body to resist damage (base body for the
type of critter + force). No, I'm not paranoid, just over-protective.
