the new Fractal Mascot familiar from Strixhaven looks like a riot on a chainlock
For those who haven't seen the leaks, Strixhaven: Curriculum of Chaos added two new feats. One is basically just magic initiate, and the other (which requires the first feat) grants you one of five special familiars that you can summon with find familiar. The actual options aren't exactly worth two feats, but I immediately took a shining to the Living Fractal, both because I like fractals and it has some abilities just begging for shenanigans
- you can swap places with it with a 2nd level spell slot (1 free use per long rest)
- it can phase through objects and creatures
- it can resize itself as a bonus action, though it maxes out at huge
Being a familiar rather than something more generic, the fractal can do everything a familiar can do, and is also compatible with other options like Investment of the Chain Master or Flock of Familiars. So, what can you do with it? Here's what I've thought of so far
- The phasing makes the familiar an expert scout for behind locked doors
- Combined with the teleportation, it can also be an easy way in and out
- Need to get into a locked chest? Just have it slip in, grab the contents and then dismiss it back to its pocket universe, then resummon it with the loot on the other side
- Want to make a killer Jojo reference that only people who've read the manga will get? Have this familiar from another universe phase through a creature's body and expand, making them explode in a gory shower of fractals (Back in 3.5 this used to be called Arseplomancy)
- While large or huge, the fractal can easily serve as a mount, and if you have Investment of the Chain Master, it can be a flying mount capable of carrying the whole party
- Of course, if you have a melee heavy party there's still a combat use. The ginormous flying fractal can just as easily go prone in mid air and land on creatures, doing falling damage. (Note: ask your DM if Investment applies to the DC 15 Dex save to avoid a falling creature, you might be able to bump that with the save DC)
- Does your DM allow Flock of Familiars? Now you can drop 3 at a time from 200 feet up for up to 30d6 bludgeoning damage. Your DM will beat your ass to death, but you will go down dying like a legend
The option to replace the attack action is rather insignificant, because the mascot familiars have terrible attacks. However, it does open up some possibilities with grappling, as it is a special attack.
Dance plays a central role in the mascor feat, with villagers performing intricate movements and patterns. The dance steps are passed down through generations and are a way of preserving the community's cultural heritage. The dancers move in sync with the music, creating a captivating visual display. Storytelling is another important aspect of the mascor feat. Elders of the village share tales of their ancestors, passing down the traditions and wisdom of the community. The stories often revolve around themes of nature and the cyclical nature of life. The mascor feat is not only a celebration but also a way for the community to come together. It fosters a sense of unity and belonging among the villagers. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving their unique cultural heritage. The Strixhvaen mascor feat is a cherished tradition that showcases the rich history and traditions of the Strixhvaen region. It is a celebration of community, nature, and the power of storytelling. Through music, dance, and storytelling, the villagers come together to honor their past and ensure that their traditions are carried forward to future generations..

1. Sarah - 2 stars
I really wanted to like "Strixhvaen mascor feat" based on all the hype, but unfortunately it fell flat for me. The beats were repetitive and lacked any real depth. The vocals were monotonous and lacked emotion, making it hard to connect with the music. The production felt messy and overcrowded, with too many elements fighting for attention. Overall, I was disappointed and couldn't connect with the music on any level.
2. John - 3 stars
"Strixhvaen mascor feat" had some interesting moments, but it failed to hold my attention throughout the entire album. The songs didn't flow well together, and it felt like a collection of disconnected tracks rather than a cohesive album. The lyrics were confusing and hard to decipher, which made it difficult to connect with the themes or message. The production was a mix of experimental sounds that didn't always work together harmoniously. While there were some standout moments, the album as a whole left me underwhelmed.
3. Emily - 2.5 stars
I was really excited to listen to "Strixhvaen mascor feat" based on the positive reviews, but I found it to be an overly pretentious and self-indulgent album. The artist seemed more focused on creating avant-garde soundscapes rather than delivering memorable songs. The lack of catchy melodies or hooks made it hard for me to stay engaged. The production was overly experimental and at times felt disjointed. While I appreciate exploring new musical territory, I couldn't help but feel that this album was trying too hard to be different without delivering a truly compelling listening experience.
