[QUOTE="Coroc, post: 7870115, member: 6895991"] Yes all your arguments hold true. But in this specific case, as far as OP wrote, They only did get a glance on that person while it was disguised. That is not covered by any of your assumptions, neither personal nor scholar knowledge is available. Eventually OP elaborates some more e.g. did the party know the name? I would allow the sending if the individual is in line of sight although disguised, although this is not specified in the rules, but this is about the only exemption I would make specifically in this case. Familiar for me normally is in the context that you have more than some knowledge about something. A wizards familiar is a companion creature which can be trusted somehow. You are familiar with a city if you do not need a map to find some places, not if you only know the name of the city. For persons only to know their faces and eventually saying hello once is not familiar in my point of few, so this alone already is a stretch. Also having extended knowledge like your scholar with expertise on Strahd might not need anything else to make the spell work (Inside Barovia of course, not while in FR or elsewhere!) [/QUOTE]
