[QUOTE="arawn, post: 3487185, member: 23746"] Without Imbue Familar With Spell Ability a familar is pretty much flavor but that spell turns it into juggernaut. Load it up with support spell, battle field control, and panic buttons like web, haste, improved invisibilty, Black tentacles, telekinesis, wall of force, that cannot immediately be traced to the familiar and you virtually double your power, not just because you increased output but because it's mobility gives you more options. Just having the familiar moving in and dimension-dooring a stunned, grappled beat-up character is worth the price of admission. Manyjaws is good if you want increased firepower and familar pocket allows it use many of these tricks even if your DM is out to get it. And we still haven't gotten to the real ultimate power that is magic jar... Now your familar can use the most reckless spell while tanking for you. That aside the fact that the familiar have all your skill-ranks(and can aid your checks or make another try) is very useful especially if your character is a skill-monkey of some kind. [/QUOTE]
