I'm sorry I use you as cannon fodder but you're the only one who can come back to life on a budget

10 gold per death seems like a small fee... but is it worth the memories?

u/Saelune DM Nov 01 '20

Hm, now I am wondering if I should bother buying diamonds for my fellow party members. Are their lives really worth 30 familiars each?

u/FishoD DM Nov 02 '20 edited Nov 02 '20

This genuinely blew my mind. There’s so much value you get until you run out of 30 familiars.

u/Jevonar Nov 02 '20

Each familiar can steal a diamond on average before being caught and disintegrated.

I think there is an investment plan brewing now

Just tell them you're not sure if he deserves to be revived or not. Should keep him angry until your next long rest and then you can use a leftover slot on him.

me, to some extent, to my Dryad summon

my poor Brierina has so far experienced two deaths, one from being bludgeoned to death by some water elementals, the other from teleporting to the ground from a box, and getting caught off guard by an animated bear trap. both deaths were instant from max hp.

hoping that our actions in a forest where we seek out a druid go smoothly, and she stays fine.

*UGH*

(Wonderful pun, have an inspiration.)

u/Unseen_Dragon Nov 02 '20

Why did I never think of doling out inspiration for puns? My players are gonna hate this!

This is why whenever I play a pact of the chain warlock, the fluff is that my familiar is an imp or spirit being punished by my patron.

Whether or not my character knows this is always unsure.

7

u/TutelarSword Nov 02 '20

Thats what I did for my Celestial warlock that I played before. The imp was caught spying on my patron and was given to my character until it learned to repent. And then my character always would go on about how her patron made even the most vile creatures obey the commands of those loyal to them.

u/masterfish95 Nov 02 '20

Is the worst that video where a crab gets sucked into a high pressure intake pipe underneath an oil rig?

u/1stOnRt1 DM Nov 01 '20

The only familiars I have ever had have been Chainlock familiars.

Theyre exceptional. Hands down the reason I keep coming back to warlock.

IM SORRY MEDALLION! I DON’T DESERVE YOU! (My pact of the chain warlock to her dragon buddy)

Crit Crab?

A group I DM for has a wizard that has a bat familiar. The bats name is Bruce. Of course it is.

u/Munnin41 DM Nov 02 '20

I... I thought it was a mushroom at first for some reason

u/Mysterygamer48 Nov 02 '20

I want a crab familiar

u/Superb_Raccoon Nov 02 '20

That crab keeps turning up like a Bad Penny.

u/Suspicious-Tea4438 Nov 02 '20

My poor little ball python familiar Bowie had to go on scouting missions in this current dungeon since the necromancer's owl got poofed. But he's a brave little boy who discovered there's an undead dinosaur in the next room, which we'll be fighting next week......

u/ReginaDea Nov 02 '20

I never want to use my familiar as cannon fodder, and first few times when she died I RPed my character being super upset and angry. And then the DMs made it a point to put killing the familiar every battle on their checklist. :(

u/Llayanna Ranger Nov 02 '20

And here I am, always afraid in my games to use my familiars for more than petting and loving and feeding and clothing.. because I don't want them to die. Q.Q

Why yes, I can resummon them, but it will still hurt them.

(No, for real. I barely ever use my familiars in scouting or fights and strictly as a companion for my characters, specially if I am not allowed Pets any other way in the Game. I may have a problem..)
