It’s been a thunder spell from the druid both times. I gave her owl stats but flavored her as a very small dragon who has a fondness for polyhedral gems. Yep, she’s a dice dragon. I guess that makes my familiar my self-insert character.

    Well the mechanical inscentive is the time and money it takes to revive them. It’s pretty negligible eventually, but it’s a pretty big deal at low levels.

      Yeah an hour and a few gold isn’t really a penalty at all in 5e with how easy it is to get money. Even at low levels imo. I’ve been doing this gag since level two (we’re now level fourteen) and the cost was a joke then too.

        In this campaign and another one where a different pc had a familiar, the DMs incentivized not killing them off by limiting the places you could find material components. I’m stocking up next time.
