Agreed, punishment should fit the crime. We have lately been pardoning people and sending a message that you can get away with things if you know the right people or have celebrity privilege, though. So time to get back to people not getting away with things.

Yeah, this is one of those times where the punishment is more to tell others “this is what happens when you do this BS. So don’t do this.”

I did this with an earth genasi chain warlock. He had a couple of pet rock familiars. Spells like mold earth, magic stone, and shape stone. He also had a rock of healing which could cause bludgeoning damage in addition to healing, but that was negated by the earth genasi resistance. So he would hit himself with a rock to heal.
