[QUOTE="HeavenShallBurn, post: 3486877, member: 39593"] The class ability as written really does need work and doesn't give enough really with too many drawbacks. The most interesting and useful familiar I ever saw was by one of my players. He had to roll up a replacement character and decided on a wizard. So he points out the Tressym from the FRCS and it's already designed to be a familiar so I allow it(they've got a very high int for a familiar about 10-11 base). Then he springs a netbook feat that allows a familiar to take an alternate form of the same race as the master once per day. I'm fairly permissive and I can already see where he's going and since it sounds interesting and entertaining I go with it. Since this was done between sessions his character introduces the familiar as his apprentice to the other PCs. For the longest time even the players never connected the familiar and the apprentice. It led to one of the most memorable lines in all my years of gaming when the familiar in her guise of "apprentice" seduced one of the other party members. The wizard PC walked in on this and his player blurted out IC "CEASE MOLESTING MY FAMILIAR" A LINE THAT SHALL LIVE FOREVER [/QUOTE]
