Or you could give it a conditional CMB bonus vs. incapacitated or sleeping foes, something like +15 to maintain a grapple (but not to start one). That way you maintain its limitation as a small grabber, but give it an iron grip that will scare the bejeebies out of any creature that sleeps!

Just add a massive arcane bonus to its CMB and raise the requirements/level a bit…

Nice idea Doomed! How would that work with such a low CMB?

Hmmm… I’m liking the idea of a Witch with a creepy porcelain doll familiar. I’d have given the Hand a constrict ability instead of jumping/punching. Strangling unfortunates in their sleep for its master.

Druid’s are into recycling, as long as maggots feast on your flesh, crows get to eat your eyes everything is just fine, deny them that => beatdown

Can you imagine the party druid seeing you with your headless animal and can you sense the (entirely justified) beatdown that follows.

Well, I can

Headless cats? You are SICK.

In the very best way possible.
