Monster Manual 5E

(Nancy Kaufman) #1
VARIANT: QUASIT fAMILIAR
Mortal spellcasters interested in extraplanar familiars find
quasits easy to summon and eager to serve. The quasit plays
the part of the obsequious servant. It serves its master well,
but it goads the mortal to greater and greater acts of chaos
and evil. Such quasits have the following trait.
Familiar. The quasit can serve another creature as a
familiar, forming a telepathic bond with its willing master.
While the two are bonded, the master can sense what the
quasit senses as long as they are within 1 mile of each other.
While the quasit is within 10 feet of its master, the master
shares the quasit's Magic Resistance trait. At any time and
for any reason, the qua sit can end its service as a familiar,
ending the telepathic bond.
