The poison arrow strategy is brilliant, especially combined with higher-grade poisons, though I found keeping mine at extreme range helped with survivability. Interesting comparison with the Pseudo Dragon - I hadn't considered the DC difference making such an impact on the unconscious effect reliability. My sprite familiar became much more effective once I started using hit-and-run tactics and having it hide between attacks to avoid becoming a target. Inspiring Leader is definitely a game-changer for familiar survivability; those temporary hit points made my sprite last through entire encounters instead of dropping to the first stray attack.</p></blockquote><p></p>
