[QUOTE="sidonunspa, post: 3894964, member: 4360"] If you think outside the box with them… You can do a lot... 1. Deliver beneficial touch spells to your allies, a familiar with invisibility can fly in combat and hit an ally with stone skin or other spells when needed… I remember when I used it to give the rouge Improved Invisibility at range. 2. Share Spell - USE IT! Ever cast Dragon Breath cast on you and your familiar? 3. Imbue Familiar with spell ability…. Nuff said. 4. Casting personal spells on familiar instead… take a look at the new polymorph spells (aspect of X and Form of X) give that familiar an extra kick and let it act as a displacer for a few rounds (and cast as a swift action no less!) couple that with spells like dragon breath, fortify familiar and have some fun! 5. Have the cleric cast imbue with spell ability on your familiar – now when he is invisible he can cast protection from evil on the mind controlled barbarian… or resurgence on an ally… or even a quick prayer spell. 6. Improved Familiar + you take 4 ranks in use magic device = a wand using pusdo-dragon. Now if your character is a Mystic Theurge or an arcane trickster... Your familiar can do some other cool things.... but I will let you figure them out [/QUOTE]
