I have a feeling "objects" should be changed to "inorganic familiars" because if they are sentient (and all of them are), they can't be objects.
This is a lovely guide though!

Thanks for checking out my guide! I'm glad that you found it enjoyable.
I see where your concerns might be coming from. Indeed ethically we shouldn't call sentient beings objects, just like we should NOT objectify people. I totally agree with you on that.
In my justification, I'm using the word "object" here to refer to the fact that those familiars are all modeled, more or less, after everyday objects (lanterns, books, capes, etc.). This is also why I think the word "inorganic" doesn't quite capture the commonality among those familiars, since many of them look very organic (relating to or derived from living matter/containing carbon) to me (the capes, marionettes, and the jellies?).
How do you think if we change the category to "sentient objects"?

I completely understand where the word "objects" came from since you were clearly describing their form rather than their kind. But yeah, that is a great idea, "sentient objects" sounds fantastic!
