Really don't get it, it's weaker than some familiars in the regular find familiar spells, and he is basically auto failing any 15+ strenght saving throw. I know companions usually don't have that high stats and saves but this seems like overkill, at least give him an slighty chance to pass on strenght saves other than critical sucess
A Vestige is barely there. It is like a Banshee, Flaming Skull, or Will-o'-Wisp. A 1 Strength is appropriate.
Also, natural 20s are critical hits for attack rolls, but don't automatically succeed anywhere else. Similarly, a natural 1 only automatically fails for attack rolls. However, it will add your proficiency bonus to any saving throw or ability check it makes. So that -5 on strength saves will actually be -3 to +1, depending on your level.
Yeah, looking at this way it does makes sense, a descreption mentioned there is a floating skull that also as 1 in strenght on it's stat block. Also thanks for the info on natural 20s.
