Level Up (A5E) Additional Eldritch Invocations for Pact of the Chain Warlocks

[lichmaster]

Yeah. RAW it works, but even if they're not sending them to another plane "they cast haste, then hop in my backpack for full cover" is the other option. Ofc one could then say "ok sounds like your equipment's all going to start taking damage from fireballs etc" but that's an antagonistic direction I'd rather avoid.

Total cover keeps you completely concealed from the other side. You cannot be targeted directly by attacks, spells, or ability checks, although spells that target an area of effect and checks to search the area might still reach you.

You do you, but I don't think you need to bother to track damage to the equipment, a fireball should simply damage whatever is in the AOE, and that IMO isn't an antagonistic direction (a backpack doesn't make people inside immune from a fireball!).

D&D General Thread 'Even Familiars Like Cats Can Level Up In Pets & Sidekicks'

Jul 10, 2025

One of the uses of Pets & Sidekicks (now on Kickstarter!) is to ensure your spellcaster's familiar is able to level up and keep pace with you--even down to the humble cat!

This, along with new character options such as the warlock's new Empowered Familiar invocation, or the new Familiarist wizard archetype, also applies to other potential familiars, whether cat, bat, rat, or something entirely different.

Pets & Sidekicks brings you allies, adversaries, pets, and companions who can level up alongside your characters.

Cue D&D 3E-era jokes about how a housecat could...
