Want a furry (or feathery, or scaly) friend by your side in your D&D adventures? The *find familiar* spell is your ticket! This 1st-level spell is a ritual, meaning you can cast it outside of combat without expending a spell slot (just take an extra 10 minutes). But what does it *do*?
*Find familiar* summons a spirit that takes the form of a tiny beast: a cat, rat, owl, toad, and more! Your familiar acts independently but always obeys your commands. It can deliver touch spells, scout ahead, grant you advantage on attack rolls (as long as you're not incapacitated), and generally be a helpful companion.
Choosing the right familiar depends on your needs. Owls are fantastic scouts, rats are inconspicuous, and cats are... well, cats. Just remember: your familiar shares your alignment and isn't a combatant. Treat it well, and it'll be your loyal companion through thick and thin!
Ready to bond with your new best friend? Cast *find familiar* and embrace the magic!
