Familar Question

[Davek]

The rules talk about what happens to PC's when their Familar dies, but what happens to the Familar when the PC dies?

It's not specified. Personally, I'd let the familiar hang around if the player wants to have the character raised, otherwise I'd assume it goes its own merry way.

That's how we are handling it right now. I was just wondering what else has been done out there. Thanks for your response.

Tome and Blood addresses it.

That notwithstanding, IMC a familiar explodes in a puff of fur/feathers/scales/whatever when its master dies.

From T&B
If a master dies & a familiar survives, part of the master lives on in the familiar. It loses any extra HP's & skills it gained from the master but retains most of it's familiar abilities. it is treated as having a master 2 lvls lower (but never below 1st lvl). if the master is later brought back from the dead, the bond is re-established, and the familiar gains whatever abilities go along with the masters new lvl.

That's all I could find.

Oh. I thought the "Familiar Question" was going to be something like "Can I make two 5' steps if I'm Hasted?" or "Can a rogue make more than one sneak attack in a round?"

-Hyp.

I was wondering how long it would take for that response.....
