Voice of the Chain Master
- You can communicate telepathically with your familiar.
- You can use all of your familiars sense while you are on the same plane of existence. Without requiring an action.
- This means you can always see through its eyes, hear conversations, smell, touch.
- You can also talk through its mouth.
Hello,
I've been reading your guide and have fell in love with the idea of building a Sorlock, but ran into a potential problem that I don't think has been addressed...if I am wrong, I apologize and need to learn how to read (or have the patience to read every post, heh)
You state here that while using VotCM that using your familiars sense while on the same plane of existence
Without requiring an action. This guide is the ONLY place I've found this to be true, everywhere else, unfortunately, states that it's an action to look through your familiars eyes.
And even then, if you're looking through your familiars eyes, you wouldn't be able to act, would you? Wouldn't you be in a hindered state until you chose to end that action?
So I wouldn't be able to case darkness on an object around/on myself and be shrouded in darkness and then see through my familiar's (Imp in this case, since Devil Sight) eyes to cancel out said Darkness and then cast away. Even if I could cast Darkness, use my next action to see through their eyes, as soon as I dropped that, I'd still be at disadvantage with my attacks since I can't see.
Am I figuring that out correctly? But again, great guide, am definitely using it as I build my Sorlock!!
