Message: <blockquote data-quote="Patryn of Elvenshae" data-source="post: 1737430" data-attributes="member: 23094">Actually, when it comes to spells...There are two different options here:1.  Any time a wizard casts a spell on himself, regardless of what that spell is, he can elect to have his familiar also benefit from it.  The familiar will continue to benefit from it so long as the familiar remains within 5' of its master.2.  Any spell that could normally only be cast on the wizard (range of Personal, target You), may instead be cast on the familiar.  In such a case, the familiar need not remain within 5' of its master to benefit from the spell.So, Expeditious Retreat.  Range: Personal, Target: You.  The wizard may cast this spell on himself and allow his familiar to share it - in which case the familiar must remain within 5' or the spell ceases to affect the familiar, or the wizard may cast the spell on his familiar, in which case the familiar can travel as it wishes.As regards Dimension Door...By the RAW, I'd say it's iffy, but possible.I'd rule that, in such a case, your familiar counts as another possible object of touching (all of the spell recipients must be in physical contact with the caster, or in physical contact with someone who is, etc.), and does not count against the creatures transported limit, but that you are still limited to one additional medium or smaller creature per three caster levels.So, your familiar could stand next to you (5' away), the halfling could touch you, the dwarf could touch the familiar, and you'd all travel - assuming you were at least a 6th-level caster.</blockquote>
