D&D 5E (2024) Wizard vs Sorcerer (a Campaign Experience)

[UngeheuerLich]

Yeah that would be a pretty big nerf to something that is not very powerful to start with, and no other monster attack works like that with a save in the 2024 rules AFAIK. An unarmed strike is a melee attack, but it is a special case with its own verbiage specific to it and states it is a "melee attack" while this doesn't.

Yeah. Ok.

It is an ok houserule as long as it comes out in session 0, but I would be pretty upset as a player if this was sprung on me well into my character build, like the first time I tried it in play.

No problem. I undestand if you are upset when you want use the only familiar that has an at will ability it can use all the time because it does not involve an attack roll instead of all the other familiars who have limited abilities and usual attacks but the DM does not agree with you.
