Clockwork Familiar | New 5th Edition Magic Item (Patreon)

CLOCKWORK FAMILIAR

Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement)

This intricate, clockwork creature is made of brass plates and steel gears. The clockwork familiar acts independently of you, but it always obeys your commands. In combat, it rolls its own initiative and acts on its own turn. A familiar can’t attack, but it can take other actions as normal. A clockwork familiar can be modeled after any Tiny beast, such as an owl, cat, or spider. It retains the statistics of the creature it's modeled after, with the following modifications:

• Type: The familiar is a Construct instead of a Beast.

• Hit Points: The familiar has hit points equal to half the hit points of the creature it's modeled after, rounded down.

• Damage Immunities: poison

• Condition Immunities: charmed, exhaustion, poisoned

• Languages: Understands Common and the languages of its creator but cannot speak.

The clockwork familiar gains unique abilities based on its form:

Aerial Scout (Owl, Bat, or Hawk): The clockwork familiar can relay visual and auditory information to its master from up to 1 mile away. You can can spend an action to focus on the familiar's senses and see and hear through it.

Arcane Assistant (Cat, Rat, or Weasel): The clockwork familiar can assist in spellcasting by providing somatic components for spells. While within 5 feet of you, it can use its reaction to perform the somatic components for a spell you are casting, allowing you to cast the spell even if they have both hands full.

Tinkerer's Companion (Spider or Crab): The clockwork familiar can use its intricate limbs to manipulate and repair small devices. It can use the mending cantrip on objects it can touch other than itself, and it has proficiency with tinker's tools.

The clockwork familiar can regain hit points with the mending cantrip. If it is reduced to 0 hit points, it can be repaired within 1 hour using tinker's tools and spare parts worth at least 10 gp. If not repaired within that time, the clockwork familiar is destroyed.
