[QUOTE="UngeheuerLich, post: 7591350, member: 59057"] I have no problems ruling that way. And I might allow it on occasion. Not every dragon has a missing scale. I might even allow the familiar to spot such a missing scale from more than 5ft away and then fly there to mark the spot. That will make the shot easier. Maybe advantage to counteract long range disadvantage. Advantage to counteract bad vision disadvantage. In melee however when everyone can spot the missing scale it is just a normal attack roll to slip in a good strike. A rogue with advantage might have an easier time. A familiar could distract the dragon to grant advantage. This might be just a use of the help action. I however can't see how that tactic should work constantly because the big dragon would just ignore the occassional flyby of a tiny familiar. If the owl however stays close to the dragon dartibg around the eyes that is another matter. It's also different if your familiar is able to attack. When a warlock familiar actually pick on the dragon's eyes or if you use your familiar to deliver a ahocking grasp, you might see the dragon not ignoring the familiar at all. Imagine following: If you are fighting and a single fly is circling around you. I guess that is not really helping your foe get a hit in. If the fly however sits on your nose and even tickles you (with shocking grasp), things are quite different. [/QUOTE]
