How far can a familiar go in D&D?

In D&D 5e, your familiar can go indefinitely far beyond the 100-foot range, but you lose the ability to see or hear through its senses (telepathy/sensory link) unless you have specific abilities like Warlock's Voice of the Chain Master, meaning it's great for long-distance scouting if it reports back, but you can't actively control or perceive its surroundings beyond 100 feet. The 100ft limit is for the spell's immediate use (like delivering touch spells or sensory linkage), not the familiar's physical existence or ability to follow commands once given.

What are the rules for familiars in D&D?

In D&D 5e, a familiar (from the Find Familiar spell) is a magical spirit taking Tiny animal form (owl, cat, snake, etc.) that bonds with you, sharing a telepathic link (within 100 ft), allowing you to see through its eyes as a bonus action, and lets it deliver touch spells using your reaction. While it can't attack, it can use its turn to Help, Scout, Dodge, or perform other non-attack actions, acting on its own initiative but always following your commands, often appearing as a low HP, CR 0 creature useful for scouting or granting advantage.
