Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Pseudodragon and Faerie Dragon

I know this harkens back to older D&D versions AND a NWN expansion, so it's a niche suggestion/request but I truly enjoyed having pseudodragons and faerie dragons as options for familiars. I understand with the familiar system in 5E they would look vastly different (perhaps better as animal companions?) but seeing them incorporated into the game as a character option would be awesome. Their intelligence and unique abilities would lend itself to interesting gameplay options (both are capable of telepathic speech, at least one ability: pseudodragons have a poison stinger, faerie dragons have a lot-). The tabletop group I'm in let me incorporate a homebrewed pseudodragon into the game as a travelling companion to my warlock that we as group bought off a jerk, and it hasn't been game breaking in the slightest. But that's just a personal experience.


Perhaps I'm not alone in this opinion though?

5e: Warlock gets Imp, Quasit, Sprite, Pseudodragon, pixie as a option for their pact of the chain. Those familiars DO exist but are special based upon class abilities not just random

Don't know if they get it in this yet, but it is a pact option in 5e

I liked the eyeball familiar lol

Kimo,
I am aware of the option with the warlock subclass (pact), my bad for not including that in the OP! I was hoping for a larger variety with how you could select/gain them, as Wizards and Sorcerers do already have the find familiar option.

The eyeball was a really cool option, derpy little thing I also enjoyed the hell hound.
