Find Familiar Choice #20: Pseudodragon (5E)

- The elusive pseudodragon dwells in the quiet places of the world, making its home in the hollows of trees and small caves. With its red-brown scales, horns, and a maw filled with sharp teeth, a pseudodragon resembles a tiny red dragon but its disposition is playful.
Quiet and Defensive. Pseudodragons have little interest in other creatures, and they avoid them whenever possible. If it is attacked, a pseudodragon fights back using the poisonous stinger at the tip of its tail, one jab of which can put a creature into a catatonic state that can last for hours.
Draconic Familiars. Mages often seek out pseudodragons, whose agreeable disposition, telepathic ability, and resistance to magic make them superior familiars. Pseudodragons are selective when it comes to choosing companions, but they can sometimes be won over with gifts of food or treasure. When a pseudodragon finds an agreeable companion, it bonds with that person as long as it is treated fairly. A pseudodragon puts up with no ill treatment, and it abandons a manipulative or abusive companion without warning.
Language of Emotion. Pseudodragons can’t speak, but they communicate using a limited form of telepathy that allows them to share basic ideas such as hunger, curiosity, or affection. When it bonds with a companion, a pseudodragon can communicate what it sees and hears even over long distances.
A pseudodragon often vocalizes animal noises. A rasping purr indicates pleasure, while a hiss means unpleasant surprise. A bird-like chirping represents desire, and a growl always means anger or discontent.

"not for kids" the joke is on you my friend, my warlock is 11
Haha looks like COPPA is going to come for me after all!
@@ChancesSpellbook yh and I'm 13
One thing to note about farming the pseudodragon's venom is that, as described in the Monster Manual, pseudodragons will leave abusive or manipulative masters without notice!
It is a spirit, not an actual pseudodragon
Milking a pseudo dragon is definately an odd image.
no matter what i am searching, feats, spells or now familiars i always end on this channel and am happy afterwards. Why why why do you not have 6 digit subscribers?
Thank you sooo much, I really appreciate it! All I can say is I really appreciate it when people share the videos.
@@ChancesSpellbook will do :D every time we are unsure about a feat or spell or similar in one of our games we just quickly watch your video on it haha
I don't see a DM in a long campaign allowing you to milk your familiar for venom since that basically gives you endless gold. They'd probably limit it to like one pint per week or something.
I think it would require a creative solution for sure! I'd probably say that there weren't any buyers, or that the local criminals already had a source and the merchant would be selling at a very cheap price.
I would compare it to snake venom...limited quantity, unable to use ability for a time after milking, specialized market. Also, the pseudodragon may not like it and may choose to leave you permanently.
@@MrUmakemelaff That's probably the best way to look at it!
@@MrUmakemelaff the latter would only apply to a true pseudodragon though, as a "find familiar" pseudodragon isnt its own creature and can't choose to leave you
@@ShesEmber True. So perhaps not being a "real" one, its venom may not be the real deal either.
I thought pesidodragons share magic resistance?
What is the "Telepatrhic Bond" you have under senses? I can't find anything about this in any of the material.
It comes from the Pact of the Chain features! They also have limited Telepathy on their stats!
@@ChancesSpellbook Specifically which one though? Cause the base one I only see that you get find familiar, can choose from these 4 extra familiar forms, and that you can cast touch spells through your familiar.
@@Konaburd it's just a pseudodragon feature
Good thing an eldrich invocation for tge propose of speaking limitation if i talk through it
sorry is this usable by wizard class or just warlock want to just confirm
By RAW yup!
Only pact of the tome warlock
Rule of thumb: Ask your DM.
3:07 unfortunately that only applies to real pseudodragons, not familiars
Does companion hp go up per level?
Sadly not!
@@ChancesSpellbookdam
Portable hole warforged with a pseudo dragon now your a pseudodragon
I don't get it but I'm not sure I understand the item
