D&D 5E (2014) Great Old One Familiars

[ColinChapman]

I have just uploaded Great Old One Familiars to the downloads area.

A pair of familiars created specifically for Warlocks of the Great Old One, presenting them with options like Warlocks of the Fiend and the Fey already enjoy. The Polypous Spawn is a miniature flying polyp while the Rat-Thing is a creature based on H. P. Lovecraft's Brown Jenkin (Dreams in the Witch House) and Fritz Lieber's Slivikin (Hristimilo's familiar in Ill Met in Lankhmar). Both were created following the examples of the existing Warlock familiar options and the rules for creating and modifying monsters in the DMG.

You can find the file here in the downloads section. Please use this thread for comments.

Very nice! I loved Ill Met in Lankhmar. Do you think that rat telepathy and command is too powerful? Maybe impose a range limitation (the rats must be within 30 feet, and remain in range)?

I've halved the range to 60 ft. and corrected a typo in the process.
