Avatar of Flying Lobsters

Some rogues choose thievery, assassin work, and other forms of devious acts to earn their pay, you however, chose to make a mistake. You as an Avatar of Flying Lobsters do just that, command lobsters... that can fly. There is nothing more to this path, you can command lobsters, that is all. The lobsters can... hit things, fly... among other things... There aren't many out in this cruel world who can do such horrific things, except for you, so the path of the Avatar of Flying Lobsters is carved by you, and you alone.

The Mighty Pinch

At 3rd level, you obtain the mystical and arcane art to summon lobsters. During a short or long rest, you may conjure a number of lobsters equal to 1/2 of your proficiency bonus (rounded up). Any lobsters that were previously conjured that exceed your proficiency bonus, vanish out of existence.

The lobsters maintain the telepathic connection with you while within 120 feet. This telepathic link can only transfer basic commands and ideas. Additionally, you can use an use an action to see out of one of the lobsters' eyes, during this period you gain the benefits of any special senses it has, finally, during this you are blinded and deafened to your own surroundings.

The lobsters are friendly to you and your companions, and they obey your commands, both mental and verbal. See the lobster game statistics in the accompanying Flying Lobster stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places. 

In combat, roll their initiative using your Dexterity modifier as one collective group. Each lobster takes their turn on the collective lobster turn. They can move, attack, and their reactions on their own. If you are incapacitated, the lobsters will defend themselves from hostile threats. 

If a lobster reaches 0 hit points, it disappears, leaving behind a faint speck of dust. Any equipment or items the lobster was carrying is left behind.
