* All versions and variants of the Find Familiar spell are mutually exclusive; a character can only have one familiar summoned by any Find Familiar spell at a time, including special summons like [[Find Familiar: Cheeky Quasit|Shovel]] and [[Find Familiar: Scratch|Scratch]], the {{RarityItem|Raven Gloves}} spell {{sai|Summon Quothe the Raven}}, and the additional options granted to a [[Warlock]] with {{sai|Pact of the Chain}}.

Find Familiar is a level 1 conjuration spell. This spell allows spellcasters to conjure a fey familiar that can aid them in combat or world exploration.
Description
Summon a familiar, a fey spirit that takes an animal form of your choosing
The raven is the only standard familiar given a specific name: "Quothe". This is a reference to Edgar Allen Poe's poem "The Raven", and probably also the raven Quoth who appears in Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels (himself a reference to "The Raven").
All versions and variants of the Find Familiar spell are mutually exclusive; a character can only have one familiar summoned by any Find Familiar spell at a time, including special summons like Shovel and Scratch, the Raven Gloves spell Summon Quothe the Raven, and the additional options granted to a Warlock with Pact of the Chain. Casting another version of the spell will dismiss any currently summoned familiar.
The Beast Master Ranger feature Summon Companion is separate to Find Familiar, and can be active at the same time.
Familiars can drink elixirs and potions by having someone else place elixirs/potions out of their inventory and then have the familiar drink it from the ground by right-clicking them, or by drinking it directly from a companion's inventory as long as the elixir/potion isn't inside a container.
Even though familiars can drink elixirs, increasing their Strength serves no purpose since their attacks will always use Dexterity.
The incantation for Find Familiar is ex textura, Latin for "out of the weave" (except Find Familiar: Boo, for which Minsc simply whistles).
When cast by a Wizard, a conjured familiar persists if the caster unprepares the spell.
