So as I have been writing my campaign ideas down, I thought of something I'd like to add in for the players. I would like them to have a little follower/companion type thing. I don't want this to be a combat follower or a DM PC (I have a beastmaster ranger and a moon druid, so I don't want to take anything away from them), but just something to add some flavor to the campaign. Kinda something that the players keep in their backpack or pouch or something.
The creature would be found inside of a murdered wizard's tower during a murder mystery type set-up for the PCs. The real purpose of the follower will be to help open portals between planes much later on in the campaign (wanted something fun instead of just an artifact that opened the portals), but I wanted to give them either a strange characteristic or utility type ability for fun, but not anything at all unbalanced.
My too ideas so far are a Celestial Door Mouse that sorta worked like a mouse version of a lantern archon. Maybe it can glow when the party needs some light or is near undead, or something like that. The other would be a very tiny Clockwork Golem. Perhaps this could aid the wizard in scribing spells a bit faster or something.
Wondering what you all think of the idea. Is it dumb? Fun? Unbalanced? Interesting? Are there some neat ideas for follower types or special abilities that you would recommend?
Thanks for the ideas!
