I was thinking of the same thing for my 4e campaign but was thinking of going with a ritual instead of a feat, which is more in line with 2nd edition. I've yoink this and ask my players which one they like best.Find FamiliarYou bind a familiar, a manifestation of your soul. They exist external to you in the form of a animal representative of your personality. Level: 3            Component Cost: 100 gpCategory: Binding      Market Price: SpecialTime: 24 hours        Key Skill: No checkDuration: PermanentThis spell enables you to attempt to summon a familiar to act as your aide and companion. Familiars are typically small creatures but there are exceptions to the rule. A creature acting as a familiar can benefict you by conveying its sensory power and serving as a guard/scout/spy as well. You can have only one familiar at a time, and you have no control over what sort of creature answers the summoning. DMs are recommended to select a familiar of equal level to the PC. Since the familiar is a summoned physical manifestation of your soul, you can dismiss and summon the familiar as a standard action. Familiars are always the same alignment as yours.Familiar Benefits: Add this template to all familiarsGroup Awareness: A familiar within 5 squares of you grants you and itself a +1 racial bonus to Perception checks.  The master has an empathic link with his familiar out to a distance of up to 1 mile. The master cannot see through the familiar’s eyes, but they can communicate empathically. Because of the limited nature of the link, only general emotional content can be communicated. Familiar Pact: If the familiar dies, you suffer a death penalty: -1 to all attack rolls, skill checks, saving throws, and ability checks. This death penalty fades after you reach a new level. A familiar can be brought back to life with the Raise Dead ritual and negates the death penalty as your spiritual link is reconnected.Example Familiar: Pseudodragon, 3rd level lurker. Advancement after 3rd level: hp/6 pts, defenses/1 pt, attack/1 pt. Increase bite and sting damage to 2d8+6 at 11th level, 3d8+8 at 21st level.</blockquote>
