[QUOTE="Salthorae, post: 7857437, member: 1095"] I guess? Sure from a pure optimization standpoint, yes nothing is better than invisibility. That doesn't mean that this Invocation doesn't bring significant boosts to normal familiars. Purely from an RP perspective, can you imagine the horror of a Great Old One (or the Lurker in the Deep UA) Pact of the Chain calling for their familiar from the ether and suddenly an Octopus appears next to an enemy flying through the air and grapples someone with your Save DC? Speaking of horrors from an RP perspective, I have two words for you. [B]Flying. Freaking. Spiders.[/B] (yes I know, more than two, they're that terrifying). ... plus spiders & snakes get your DC to their poison damage. There is tons of flavor to be had with the normal familiars and this invocation that isn't available to any other class in any way on top of the normal benefits of your suped-up familiar options. A swimming Owl or flying Cat. And you can change your familiar every 10 minutes if you want to get back an invisible whatever option. [/QUOTE]
