[QUOTE="Zaruthustran, post: 6470615, member: 1457"] Mephista, I too play a GOO Chain Warlock and have had a lot of fun with invisible flying shapechanging familiars (usually a Quasit). However, the miles-away Suggestion trick doesn't work RAW. Yes, you can see out of your familiar's eyes and thereby satisfy the "a creature you can see" requirement for targeting Suggestion. But the range is still 30 feet. 30 feet from the [I]caster[/I]. That's you. So while you could send your familiar into a building, and cast Suggestion at a target inside that you can see, your Warlock still has to be within 30' of that target. Rule as written, the familiar does not deliver (serve as point of origin of) anything except touch spells. Same restriction applies to telepathy. "Any creature you can see", yes, but the target still has to be within 30' of "you." GOO Chain is still super cool though. You can speak through your familiar without breaking its invisibility. Which is pretty close to telepathy. Probably indistinguishable, if the target is alone. And you could ask your DM if you can research/ask your patron for a touch-delivered Suggestion spell. Or give your Quasit a wand of Suggestion; it can use magic items. [/QUOTE]
