Message: <blockquote data-quote="Garthanos" data-source="post: 8773361" data-attributes="member: 82504">yeh every monster has hands and fights with them not jaws and wings not claws or talons (ever seen a tiger or a bear throw something) or tentacles and thinks of using tools the way these hominid descendants do nods and the zombies think of that too ... cause you know their brains are such fine specimens they might be thinking hay this thing is annoying helping my enemy and he might get 1 or 2 attacks in over the course of the battle because no other source of advantage exists. And you are letting that caster have fun of free use of the Faerrie fire (I know which source of advantage I would want to attack first or even the most it is the one who accelerates the fight end the most and may be affecting the most people) or stepping up his game later if he wants Haste or Invisibility or Hypnotic Pattern or maybe Polymorph or Web even whatever but you are spending maybe an average 2 attacks  (sometimes less or more) assuming you can reach the familiar) on a pesky bird that makes advantage happen to one target each round  and only likely has real effect on one or with a 6 round battle 2 attacks unless tada there is a rogue that doesn't already have advantage from another source that now needs it. Heck flanking is not even needed these days just a melee combatant.Sounds like a thing you wouldnt do if you didnt have a Rogue on hand ie back to me seeing the enemy shout look out its a rogue beware that owl... instead of "kill the caster" and potentially break concentration thus stopping some badass/more significant and intense ongoing spells.And the fighter maneuver would take many times the rounds and dice thrown at it before that advantage from distracting attack is likely useful (also yes without a rogue in need of advantage)...The need of another source of advantage goes down gradually over time... more sources enter the field and so on.</blockquote>
