Message: <blockquote data-quote="ECMO3" data-source="post: 9844385" data-attributes="member: 7030563">They are not the only familiar with at will abilities.  A Quasit has Scare, a Sprite has Heartsight, Imp, Sprite and Quasit all have Invisibility, Raven has mimicry and Octopus has Ink cloud.  None of these involve an attack roll and all of them except Scare and Ink Cloud are at will.  Although Scare and Ink Cloud are not technically at will, they are at will in play because a Warlock can just summon another Familiar.Even with the at will ability the PD is not one of the strongest familiars, in part because the DC sucks.  At low level Imp and Sphinx are the strongest familiars in combat, way stronger in fact than the party Warlock himself, or other PCs until level 3 or so.  A Quasit is also generally stronger than a Pseudodragon at all levels. The Pseudodragon has a decent at will ability but it is a situational ability with a very low DC (without spending 2 invocations) and requires the familiar to get within 5 feet of an enemy.  This relatively good ability is offset by the fact the PD has a useless attack, terrible hit points, no Invisibility and no resistances or immunities like most of the Warlock-specific familiars do.</blockquote>
