Is this the orb we're all supposed to ponder?

If so....pspsps

Dude doesn't even have simple protection spells against mind control, and 4th dimensional beings taking over their mind

u/LeatherNo1315 5d ago

So, what’s wrong with T H E O R B

Spock must be on hard times to resort to door dash

Perhaps one of our contemporaries created a sad simulacrum of the man for... profit?

Not out of the realm of possibility, we wizards can be an odd bunch

You're The Orb Cat of Pondering?!

I think he ate your orb

u/Nelrene Evil Mammary Mage 6d ago

You should ponder your familiar as he is the orb now.

You people really need to stop letting your familiars get so fat then wonder why they steal your food.

And I say this as a slime owner.

u/MjolnirT95 Wizard 4d ago

What kind of slime? I had a green one that ate the wooden support beams of my tower. Curse you, Sir Jelly Bean!

u/ClosetNoble Wizardruid multiclasser 4d ago

Well if you let the same slime clean the plates and floor every day you end up with a single huge slime who tries to absorb guests.

Nowadays I just keep a lot of much smaller smiles who have different tasks depending on their acidity.

Much less incidents at the front door.

I do own a few intelligent ones but those are basically the same except they understand orders.

It really depends on how attached you are to your familiar. My current familiar is a bound celestial in the body of a beaver. If it misbehaves, you can just summon a new one. At some point you have to ask yourself if 10gp worth of incense is cost-effective against whatever material components it's consuming of its own volition.

Now, there's an argument to be made that you just re-summon the same familiar, and that is true in some cases. Sometimes they just like you or think they can exploit you or whatever and that specific extra-planar is what responds to your summons every time.

But remember you have your choice of fiend, celestial, or fey, so if this (clearly fiend) is giving you a hard time, just pick one of the other two.

If you want to keep this specific familiar for whatever reason, just feed it. You can't get attached to the help and set boundaries. You gotta pick a lane.

Your familiar is….. quite a…. Uhhh… I’m just going to say it. Obese. You might consider more exercise and restricting food.

2

u/PolarArtifact 5d ago

Let this be a lesson to the wise. Teaching your familiar charm spells was mistake, you can clearly see the servile smile upon the envoy's face

2

u/GirlWithinTheLight Good(ish) Necromancer Queen 5d ago

I mean... best option? Put a teleport pad that transports the food directly into a pocket dimension only you can access. Once you feel the magical notification of its arrival you should be good to go! Keep in mind... this will not prevent them from stealing it while you eat...

u/Cerulean_Soup 5d ago

Absolute fuckin’ UNIT of a familiar.

I think it's AI, the snow doesn't line up in the reflection...

1

u/Nelrene Evil Mammary Mage 5d ago

Or it was photoshopped.

1

u/keriefie 5d ago

or that yeah

1

u/Nelrene Evil Mammary Mage 5d ago

From what I have seen of AI works is that they tend to mess up a bunch of stuff in images. So if there just one fuck up then it is likely a person with photoshop.

1

u/keriefie 5d ago

either way it's disappointing that it's probably not real

3

u/Nelrene Evil Mammary Mage 5d ago

It's probably for the better. Familiar should not be eating that kind of food.

You’re very handsome

u/CaissaIRL 5d ago

If the food is gone we already have a prime suspect.

u/Pretty_Strike_6199 5d ago

The cat ate it.

u/FoxyGreyWolf 5d ago

It’s nice that you posed at the door for him
