You are certainly free to develop a more meaningful relationship with your familiar. In fact I've always handled my familiars as a distinct entity, a friend and companion with its own quirks, not just some summoned spirit.

In regards to having it scale and grow, I'll need to think on that, and get back to you on it. At minimum you'd need to give up something in exchange for any notable amount of power gained.

Sounds good to me. In the interest in having a character development in the familiar, it would be fun and worth the costs, I'm sure.

That's the tradeoff in 5e. They scaled much better in 3.5 but it was a lot more than a few gold pieces to summon them again. What of the warlock's improved familiar? They should retain an advantage over a regular familiar.

I haven't earned any gems here on the site, Gknight, and am thus no expert but perhaps a crystal could be turned in for a boost to the familiar? I know that's how Ky got Mari earlier in the campaign as a level3 side character, I believe. Perhaps you have to take what the random gem effect is though, I'm not sure.

That's a good idea Cinder. It is totally random for what the gem does however. That result seems to be one of the more common ones.

The first gem I activated was somewhat pointless in the current situation, but if we count the familiar as more than some random minor spirit, it could certainly apply.

You can only have one advantage according to the 5E rules the advantage does not stack.

Haste is an awesome spell, and I look forward to it. I think it lasts a minute, so cast it when things get rolling. I am psyched for it!
