Two questions:

One. What are the modifiers or penalties for if a monster that lacks hands or grasping appendages? Example: a raven familiar has a key in its beak and is trying to unlock a door.

Two. Do awakened animals retain the ability to communicate and empathize with normal members of its own species? Does gaining humanlike sentience alienate them from their pack or herd, requiring a Charisma check to rejoin the group?

I was thinking about making a homebrew adventure where the main villain is an evil druid who is awakening animals for whatever reason, and I want to make it as "realistic "as possible.
