Flyby go brrrr
But yeah, while I think find familiar might find its way into more character builds, I don't think everyone will go right for that. As mentioned earlier, unless your DM has a hate-on for familiars, you might only need to cast it once during the day anyway. Whereas ritual spells like detect magic and identify are ones you usually would like to use more than once during the day.
Level 1 feats make it fairly easy, though is that really better than something like the lucky feat?
Personally, I hope they do something to tone down familiars as disposable scouts, but that doesn't really relate to ritual casting.
No, but it isn't strictly worse either. It's just a different set of benefits.
With rituals for everyone and possibly prepared spells being the norm, the value of scrolls as magic items will be diminished. Free slots is still good though.
pfft, optimization be damned, I'mma get a Tressym instead, tho to be fair, they do work as a permanent, non-magical source of detect invisibility, so... that is a thing.
They were also updated as monstrosities, which would make them ineligible.
Not really, since even in Descent into Avernus (where they were a monstrosity from the get-go), they still said it can be a familiar option with the DM's permission.
The tressym description disagrees with that tho, says that they can be swapped with cats at DM digression.
