D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] Familiars?

[bertman4]

Can someone with the 3.5E PHB please post the familiar section?

My campaign is going to start up and during this past week's character generation session, one of the guys wants to play a Wizard and is trying to decide on a familiar.

Thank you in advance.

If you check out Olgars thread you will see it is all the old familiars plus lizard, that the +2 skill boosts have become +3, the +2 saves stay the same and the toad gives a flat +3hp.

I think that things like Hawk and Bat might give a skill boost now where they didn't before.

Cheers

Yes, I've been reading that thread. What I wanted to know was what kind of advantage the bat, hawk and lizard confer upon their master. Any ideas?

Bat - +3 to listen
Hawk - +3 to spot in bright light
Lizard - +3 to Climb

And the owl is now +3 to spot in shadowy conditions

And the raven?

It says "Nevermore. "

I'll second the Raven question.

I'll second the Raven question.

Master gets a +3 on appraise checks (and it still speaks a language of its masters choice... which alone makes it a fantastic familiar!)

Cheers

I guess improved familiars still grant no extra bonuses?
