animal form you ch o o se : bat, cat, crab, frog (toad), hawk,
lizard, octopus, owl, p o iso no us snake, fish (quipper),
rat, raven, sea horse, spider, or w easel. Appearing in
an unoccupied space within range, the familiar has the
statistics o f the cho se n form, though it is a celestial, fey,
o r fiend (your choice) instead o f a beast.
Your familiar acts independently o f you, but it always
o beys your com m ands. 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.
W hen the familiar drops to 0 hit points, it disappears,
leaving behind no physical form. It reappears after you
cast this spell again
W hile your familiar is within 100 feet o f you, you
can communicate with it telepathically. Additionally,
as an action, you can se e through your familiar’s eyes
and hear what it hears until the start o f your next turn,
gaining the benefits o f any special sense s that the

with regard to your ow n senses.
A s an action, you can temporarily dismiss your
familiar. It disappears into a pocket dim ension w here it
awaits your sum m ons. Alternatively, you can dismiss it
forever. A s an action w hile it is temporarily dismissed,
you can cause it to reappear in any u noccupied space
within 30 feet o f you.
You can ’t have m ore than one familiar at a time. If you

the cho se n creature.
Finally, when you cast a spell with a range o f touch,
your familiar can deliver the spell as if it had cast the
spell. Your familiar must be within 100 feet o f 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.[/sblock]

Physical Appearance:
Tobin is an average sized gnome. He has silvery grey hair, with green eyes and a bright smile. His complexion is more tan that one would expect from someone who spends at much time pouring over old tomes as he does.
Backstory:
Tobin came to Gate Pass to study at a young age. No tragedy or twist of fate landed him on the doorstep of the city's library, just an unending well of curiosity about anything and everything.
Poor of coin and devoid of any marketable craft skills, Tobin elected to join the priesthood of the temple that oversaw the library.
He spent many years pouring over old tomes on the arcane, history, religions, and anything else she could get his hands on.
During his time at the library, he was approached many times by operatives from a secret organisation to obtain information. They convinced him that they had good intentions, and he was more than happy to bring knowledge to others.
He also saw this organisation as agents of truth and stability, and Tobin was more than happy to oblige.
Now, times are changing. News is no longer coming to Gate Pass, and the library is having difficulty getting tomes of lore. Civilation and order are at risk and Tobin has been growing weary. He has learned about a distant safe haven, a mages' school named Lyceum.
This is where he needs to go to help, if he can. In the short term, Tobin was asked to meet an operative named Torrent shortly before midnight in the pub of the Poison Apple Inn to discuss things, and to use the alley door.
Things were about to get exciting, and exciting is not good for civilation and the dissemination of knowledge...
