I made it a feat instead of a spell since it seemed to be a somewhat character defining trait in my games. Familiar Bond: After an arduous ritual, the character gains a magical animal companion. Familiars are minor primal spirits that manifest as small animals. They can assist magicians in their learning of magic as well as provide companionship. Familiars have an AC: 16, with level, saving throws, intelligence, and hit points equal to the caster. Familiars only need to make a saving throw if they are specifically targeted or are more than 15 ft. from their master. Otherwise, it is assumed that they pass or fail with the same roll. The magician and familiar can communicate verbally with each other, but others can only understand the familiar with speak with animals.The familiar is utterly loyal to its master and will fight for him, perform services, and generally obey his commands. At first level, and every three levels thereafter (3rd, 6th, &c.), the familiar can assist the magician in the following ways. Once chosen, they cannot be changed.Bond- The magician and the familiar can perceive through each other’s senses, up to a mile. Selecting Bond a second time allows for telepathic communication between the two.Defense- The familiar grants the magician +1 to AC and saves.Health- The familiar enhances the magician’s health, granting an extra 1 + Constitution modifier to Health.Lore- The familiar teaches the magician a new spell. This will automatically be learned, and may exceed limits based on intelligence.Might- The familiar can maintain concentration on a spell for the magician. It cannot move while doing so.Excepting Bond and Lore abilities, the familiar must be within 120 ft. for the magician to benefit. If the familiar is ever killed, the character must make a saving throw or instantly lose half their maximum Grit. The familiar can reincarnate if the character repeats the find familiar ritual, costing 250sp. Any spells gained through Lore are lost until the familiar is reincarnated. Recurring careless deaths will sour the familiar-character bond.(Grit: hit points, representing stamina. Health: 6 + Con mod hit point kicker, representing meat.)</blockquote>
