D&D 5E (2024) Skeleton Familiar plus Net = Fisher of Men

[abolitionrpg]

i have been playing a pact of the chain warlock for a bit and was investigating unusual ways to put the different forms into play. plus i came across Treantmonk's recent net use post on youtube. this idea is not necessarily contingent on the skeleton pact of the chain familiar, but you would need a form that has hands and enough strength (and perhaps realistic size at certain tables) to manage carrying a few 3 pound nets.

would a familiar that has been affected by the warlock invocation investment of the chain master use the specific rule of "Your Save DC. If the familiar forces a creature to make a saving throw, it uses your spell save DC." to override the net save DC with your spell save DC while attacking with a net? it seems RAW at least.

any thoughts on this or other useful tools and adventuring gear that your pact of the chain warlock familiars can use in a radically effective manner?

ps pardon the evangelical pun

Aint no rule say a familiar can't attune to an enspelled weapon. At a certain point "enspelled dagger of web" is cheaper and lighter than a buncha nets.

If the Skeleton familiar forces a creature to make a saving throw, it uses your spell save DC, which Net do.

RAW on paper perhaps but i don't know if it's RAI.

YMMV depending how DM ruling goes.

Speaking of which, nets are really good in this edition. On a PC with multiple attacks, giving one attack up for a net can be really useful.

The same could apply to Acid, Holy Water, Alchemist Fire or Oil.
