I'll stay with familars. If I send the Defender into a room and it dies, I'm out of luck. I have to go into the room to get it back. Also, Familars can fly, be invisible, burrow, blind sight, and other features as needed.. Probably going to skip Wizard. Too much investment and there's a...

I guess that brings up another question. If i have Gaze of Two Minds on the steel defender, and it dies, can I still cast spells as if I was in that space? But artificers do get sanctuary, which could be nice to cast on the defender. Then it goes in to the other room and it's Dodge +...

It only attacks at low levels. Once I get Gaze of Two Minds, i cast Eldritch Blast/ Spiked Growth/ Moonbeam from a different room. Certainly won't be high damage, or have strong defenses. I imagine it will mostly go something like. Familiar with Gaze of Two Minds goes into a room, and you...

2: Blind/Deafness, Dragons Breath (+d6), Spider Climb 3: Gaseous Form 6: Disintegrate (+3d6) Don't see any other Enchanter ones.

It has been. Character Classes "When you cast the spell in this way, the familiar is Fey and disappears when you finish a Long Rest." Sure, but doesn't cost GP and comes back on a short rest. I expect them to die often, especially as levels go up. Yea, but that could be the difference between...

But I could still use Wild Companion, cast with a pact magic spell slot without material components, upgrade to Sphinx via Chain, then quality for Durable. Not sure it's worth while, but seems fun to launch a Sphinx around a corner to roll Moonbeam around or remotely spam Eldritch Blast. And...

As a Magic action, you can expend a spell slot or a use of Wild Shape to cast the Find Familiar spell without material components. You learn the Find Familiar spell and can cast it as a Magic action without expending a spell slot. When you cast the spell, you choose one of the normal forms for...

Sure. But it's there. Also, there is some president for moving tattoos.

Some levels give more power than others. Specifically, level 5, 11, and 17 are bigger improvements for most classes I.e. fighter gets their 2nd, 3rd, and 2nd action surge. And correspondingly, spells get more powerful too. For example. 1st level Burning hands is 3d6 2nd level Shattet is 3d8...

You may have missed it, but you can change 1 tattoo on a long rest. Which really helps if you know what your trying to do the next day.

Well... If you could spend your action you let them attack, that would be on par with a cantrip, but fit the theme and lot better. Skeleton: 1d6+3 = 6.5 Toll the dead 1d12 = 6.5 Level 6 Skeleton: 1d6+3+4 = 10.5 Toll the dead 2d12 = 11.5 Skeleton falls off as you go up, but you won't be using...

Think they gain Exhaustion. Or that's how I would rule it anyways. Maybe with an escalating Con save.

You could still give it extra HP and THP if it was a "Undead you have created or summoned with a Necromancy spell", even if it can't attack. It just feels better and more consistent to have your skeleton get the same buffs/rules as the rest of the Undead you summon. Balance wise it may save...

So something like... "When you cast Find Familar with a spell slot you can modify so it is a Necromancer spell. Doing makes the creature you summon Undead and has it's appearance appropriately changed. You may also choose a Skeleton or Zombie".

It’s an undead you control. So both the level 10 and second half the 14 features work with it. But I agree it's inconsistent. Adding "find familiar is a Necromancy spell" would fix that.

At quick glance, these are much more thematically appropriate effects.

Mechanically it has a strong niche. Highest maneuverability skirmisher, with a unique resource pool that meshes well with the base class. Thematically it might not be for everyone, but I really like it mechanically. It just was underpowered in 2014 and a tiny bit over tuned in 2024 (IMO).

In my brief experience with lower level 2024 monk's. I suggest reducing deflect attack a tad. Like 1d10-> 1d6.

Just going to point out that Eldritch Knight's can already cast a spell with action surge.

Also worth noting that allies can fail their grapple check. So you can move 2 people as a reaction. Not sure that will come up often, but maybe pulling the barbarian back before dropping a Hypnotic Pattern over the area.
