[QUOTE="Lord Twig, post: 9856767, member: 31754"] Yes, they can describe it however they want, the problem comes in when you try to explain, in fiction, why you can only do it with a scimitar in your hand that you never use. There are two ways to fix this. You can do like what you say and just let them do it without requiring the extra scimitar and the Nick weapon mastery OR you can just not allow the bonus attack/Nick attack to be one of the attacks you forgo. It sounds like we are really not that far off. In my own game I have a Rogue with a magic returning dagger and the Nick mastery. RAW he would need TWO returning daggers to get the bonus action/Nick attack. That didn't make sense to me so I said that when the dagger returned to his hand it counted as a different weapon. I think that is similar to you just giving the familiar its own turn. I'm just arguing that you should do one or the other. Doing the half-step of allowing the familiar to attack by forgoing the Nick attack, but only when you have two light weapons in your hand and the Nick mastery even though you never use the second scimitar is what I am saying doesn't make sense.
