Expanding the list of improved familiars

[Beholder Bob]

I'm looking to expand the list of improved familiars - especially from MM II & III, & the Fiend Folio. I'm also looking for good templates to apply to the same - something to make the familiars more unique / flavorful.

IIRC, Complete Warrior has a list of more improved familiars, with additional BAB prerequisites (I think you could get a worg with caster level 3 and BAB +3). I'm sure they were mostly meant for hexblades, but they could give you a few more "official" familiars to compare yours to.

Oh, I definitely will be including them into the mix. They maxed out with a winter wolf familiar (LARGE CR 5!!!!!). I forgot the requirements for it, but yikes!

Too bad hexblades only get 0.5 caster level per two class levels, so you'd still only be able to pick it up at 6th level

They'd also be good for bards with the Summon Familiar feat and battle-sorcerors (from UA).

I can type what it says aboute stitched familiars in the book "Libris Mortis" if you like.

No, thats ok - if I remember correctly, it just gives an increase to the total HD you can control.

My focus is more on what is not yet listed but could be added to the list of available familiars
