That being said, only very few wizards are likely to have an octopus as a familiar, and the other familiar forms are all either less intelligent and less blessed concerning limb versatility, or both (excluding warlock forms). | |
| May 15, 2018 at 22:51 | comment | added | V2Blast | I'd like to add that most familiars summoned by the spell have a negative Intelligence modifier, with a score between 2-4. (The exceptions to this are the additional options given to Pact of the Chain Warlocks: imp, pseudodragon, or sprite.) It seems highly unlikely that an owl, for instance, would be able to understand you trying to teach it what a healing potion is or how to feed it to you - not to mention the complexity of such a familiar holding and opening the potion before feeding it to you. It could certainly help in more straightforward ways that a typical animal might. | |
