When third edition came out, I started playing in Living Greyhawk. Our usual crew had a wizard (toad familiar) and a sorceror (raven familiar), and they routinely teamed-up to deliver "long-range" touch spells by having the raven dive-bomb and drop the toad on unsuspecting enemies. Fun times...(2). The party's wizard was really good at making his familiar (a ferret) useful in combat. Later, when one of the party members was brainwashed and turned evil, he specifically targeted the wizard's familiar because he had first-hand knowledge of how useful and important it was to the character.</blockquote>
