A dnd party where the ranger’s companion, the wizard’s familiar, the warlock’s patron, and the cleric’s deity are all the same creature
I want to be clear – it’s not that each of these is the same breed of cat, it’s that one cat plays each of these roles, whether it meant to or not, and they all have to share
On second thought, both options are good, because imagine the confusion. Imagine the cleric throwing open the wizard’s door, switching orange tabbies with them, and leaving in a huff with, “I’ve been praying to your mouse-catcher for three hours.”
I raise to you:
For some unknown reason, they all have the same breed of cat, but the cats are never in the same room all at once, so a companion just assumes it’s just the one cat for all 4 people, until one day they’re all like “?????no???? Each of us has one????” And they all just show their 4 identical cats
Bonus points if they all have the same name
Extra bonus points if they all have “unique” spellings of the same name
