Hey y'all.
My ninth-level wizard is taking the Improved Familiar variant feat on page 200 of the 3.5 DMG. Under the section "Granted Abilities", it begins:
The pseudodragon (listed on p201) has the special ability of blindsense 60ft. Is this ability shared with the master? Likewise, what about the Imp (darkvision, fast healing, DR, immunity to poison, etc), the Celestial Hawk (darkvision, low-light vision, SR, etc), and the rest of them?
My gut says "No, of course not", but I don't understand that first clause of the sentence.
Thanks much,
-Clint

My question is: what constitutes "their own special abilities"?Granted Abilities: In addition to their own special abilities, all familiars grant their masters the Alertness feat, the benefits of an empathic link, and the ability to share spells with the familiar.
