Alternative Creature: Pet[edit]
As an alternative creature, you can bring back a dead animal as a pet. This does not take up a creature slot as it is considered an animal companion. The pet cannot attack, and will most likely hide somewhere nearby during combat, however, the pet is good at sniffing out anything that could be of use granting you advantage on Wisdom (Perception) and Intelligence (Investigation) checks.
Spell Casting[edit]

Spell Slots The Devil Forgemaster table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your Devil Forgemaster spells of 2nd level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher You know two 1st Level spells of your choice from the Devil Forgemaster spell list. The Spells Known column of the Devil Forgemaster table shows when you learn more Devil Forgemaster spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 5th Level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd Level. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the Devil Forgemaster spells you know and replace it with another spell from the Devil Forgemaster spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
Spellcasting Ability Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your Devil Forgemaster spells. The power of your spells comes from your practice in the ancient arts. You use your Intelligence whenever a Devil Forgemaster spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Devil Forgemaster spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
