I even have a character in my Avernus campaign who has Imp familiars (a whole lineage of them, actually, since they are in hell, they die when killed, but there is a new one to take it's place, I think we are down to 10 or so, some having lasted longer than others) acquired through a Devil Pact, and it never causes a problem, either of spotlight hogging or of power.The worry is when people take extreme attitudes, as players (I want advantage every round with my bladesinger/hexblade) or as DMs (I will kill familiars on sight but not forbid the spell, just to teach players how to behave in my dangerous world where every mistakes costs you - Dark Souls mode, I suppose), without discussion and hearing each other about what could be expected of a feature which is both interesting, open and fun without being abused.</blockquote>
