[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9337855, member: 7030563"] I would not let them because it is against the rules and regardless of what I would or would not do, using something that is against the rules to prove that the rules favor Wizards is disingenouos. There is a fundamental difference between saying the way many people play makes Wizards more powerful vs. the rules make Wizards more powerful and using something that is against the rules can not be an example of the latter. They absolutely can not do this. To start with they can't smell it using Find Familiar alt all all. Read the spell, it allows for sight and hearing. Second it does not allow them to do this for a full minute, it allows them to do it from when they take the action to the start of their next turn, which is 6 seconds. They can take the action again, but it is in 6 second incrementns, not "a full minute". Further this restriction is in there to prevent exactly this kind of use - doing an action while looking through the familiars eyes. Yes those are the rules. Maybe you should start a thread about how Find Familiar should be strengthened to be less nonsensical. Sure, but you can't do that at the same time you are looking through your familiar's eyes. Because he is a caster, has a low AC and is easy to kill. I don't care if they are better at the social pillar. It is irrelevant. They are not good at all 3 pillars as I stated and as you can make a fighter (or a Wizard) on point buy, provided you don't invest 16 in Constitution. No it is my insistence on following "nonsensical" rules. Ok you want that. I get it. You are not going to get it I don't think in official 5E. [/QUOTE]
