1 Strixhaven Mascot

Players can receive the Strixhaven Mascot feat at the fourth level as long as they have one of the five other Strixhaven Initiate feats. This feat teaches players how to summon a Strixhaven mascot reflective of their college of choice. Players can cast Find Familiar as a ritual, and the familiar takes the form of one of the Strixhaven mascots.

The mascot can take an attack action on the player’s turn with its reaction. If the familiar is within sixty feet of the player character, it can teleport to the player’s location. However, if the space the player occupies is too small to fit both the player and the mascot, the teleportation fails.
