Variant Familiar Rules
Starting when you first are able to cast Find Familair, you are able to access new familairs. These familars are taken from various books across D&D 5e, and you'll need to find the stat blocks on your own. These familairs have the same rules as described by the find familair spell, unless stated otherwise. The familairs can not force any checks upon any unwilling creatures. These features are limited to Wizards and Druids who cast find familair, see the Warlock list at the end of the document.
Familiar Feats
Each new and old familiar will now gain an extra ability or "feat" to help it's master starting when your character level is 5. The Abilities will be under the "Ability" coloumn of the familiar list. Many familairs have abilities that can be flavored within the game, a frog using a spectral tongue to increase the range of a spell, or tiny raven wings that sprout. It's up to you and the DM to work this out. On top of this, starting at level 15 a familar has infinite range in terms of mental links with the creature. Familars can only cast spells if they are inate.
Familiar Cost and Materials:
Some familiars will have a material cost included, this will be added to the material list which is added to the previous cost to create your familiar.
P.S. DMs I recommend shrinking all the creatures noted to be larger than small to set size small as 1. A Familiar is ment to a small or tiny creature that accompanies a mage and 2 . Larger creatures can be flown around, if your into that then keep the sizes. If you feel like a familair is underpowered, you can allow the player to attack with them but sacrificing their own action.
