Find Familiar: Scratch
After recruiting Scratch, Tav gets Find Familiar: Scratch. The summoned Scratch is level 1, HP 5, Str 13, Dex 14, Con 12, Int 3, Wis 12, Cha 7. He's got 14 AC, 30 ft. speed, 7 ft. darkvision. Bite deals 1d6+2 damage
Most notable is that the spell description says "Scratch's keen nose can discover many things hidden around the world". This seems to manifest in the form of "Scratch's Sniff", a condition I first noticed while in Grymforge. Scratch begins barking and animating like a pointer dog, although I was unable to find out what he's actually pointing at, since the direction he points is whichever direction he happens to be facing when he stops moving... --174.160.170.64 14:01, 5 August 2023 (CEST)
Only minion with Help action?
Scratch, unlike most or possibly every other summonable minion, has the Help action, meaning in combat he can revive downed, restrained, enewebbed, etc, characters without you wasting an action or having to move far to get there. He can be summoned into position from 18m away (using an action). This is especially useful if trying to untie Volo in Act 3 or rescue Santoria in the Iron Throne without having to travel all to the way to them yourself. Is there an elemental, familiar, undead, etc, besides Scratch who has Help? --Dennis Bratland (talk) 19:36, 25 February 2024 (CET)
