Appearing in an unoccupied space within range, the familiar has the statistics of the chosen form, though it is a celestial, fey, or fiend (your choice) instead of a beast. Your familiar acts independently of you, but it always obeys your commands. In combat, it rolls its own initiative and acts on its own turn. A familiar can’t attack, but it can take other actions as normal. When the familiar drops to 0 hit points, it disappears, leaving behind no physical form. It reappears after you cast this spell again While your familiar is within 100 feet of you, you can communicate with it telepathically. Additionally, as an action, you can see through your familiar’s eyes and hear what it hears until the start of your next turn, gaining the benefits of any special senses that the familiar has. During this time, you are deaf and blind with regard to your own senses. As an action, you can temporarily dismiss your familiar. It disappears into a pocket dimension where it awaits your summons. Alternatively, you can dismiss it forever. As an action while it is temporarily dismissed, you can cause it to reappear in any unoccupied space within 30 feet of you. You can’t have more than one familiar at a time. If you cast this spell while you already have a familiar, you instead cause it to adopt a new form. Choose one of the forms from the above list. Your familiar transforms into the chosen creature. Finally, when you cast a spell with a range of touch, your familiar can deliver the spell as if it had cast the spell. Your familiar must be within 100 feet of you, and it must use its reaction to deliver the spell when you cast it. If the spell requires an attack roll, you use your attack modifier for the roll. oh heck wall of text   Dungeon Master (GM): ok and interestingly 5E lets you chose exactly what you want.   Kaiser Starlocke: ill take an owl   Dungeon Master (GM): ok is it a celestial, fey or fiend?   Kaiser Starlocke: celestial   Dungeon Master (GM): ok ok so everyone is at full health and restored spells   Roqar: Explore the East side?   Ravoprax Elmash: yup   Kaiser Starlocke: i think welfest needs to lvl up his hp   Dungeon Master (GM): also will we retire Welfast and bring in Murtle now?   Kaiser Starlocke: oh yeah sure   Ravoprax Elmash: sure   Roqar: Sure   Dungeon Master (GM): you can role-play meeting him at the Stonehill while you recovered if you wish. otherwise i guess we returned to the hideout?   Ravoprax the Dragonborn Fighter Says: "oi torle. you are coming with us"   Kaiser Starlocke: brb   Murtle Seabran: "Ye, I'm on a mission for me god, so might as well do some good"   Dungeon Master (GM): ok
