[QUOTE="Shallown, post: 1702934, member: 1368"] Jeeze Mister GM. I didn't know we needed to talk. :). Actually the Party rogue brought it up since he is thinking of going sorceror at some point. I just thought it interesting since I have always just gave them away like spell books. Something that was too costly for starting characters but part of the package. I guess I see Familars as a balanced ability in that they are useful but also offer a vulnerability. So even if they are a class ability they are not powerful or even that great an ability. Useful and fun to RP but not powerful. Not granting one to start is like saying you have to take X Feat but you can't use it until later but we are counting it against you for balance reasons. as if Wizards weren't a big enough money sink hole already. later [/QUOTE]
