[QUOTE="Larcen, post: 339271, member: 2406"] Ok, I know it sounds crazy, but my familiar is seeing a lot of combat lately. Let me explain a bit. You see, he is a miniature gold dragon. Well, not REALLY a dragon, but a magical creature that looks and acts just like one. My DM explains it better than I do. He doesn't age like a true dragon...that's tied to my level advancement. It's a LONG 13 page story (my character background actually) why he has this special familiar...suffice it to say that my DM rewarded me for my long background and also took 2 of my CON points permanently in the call familiar process in an attempt to balance things out. (Ouch.) Anyway, here is the reason for this post. Since my PC, being a cleric, gets into melee a lot the familiar is there with him too. I need all kinds of ideas for buffing the little guy up in battle. He is only 12" long and I was thinking along the lines of Enlarges, Magic Fangs, Ring of Protections, etc, etc.. So any and all ideas would be great. Permanent stuff like magic items and Permanency spells are a plus over temporary buffs of course. My cleric/sorcerer and "Xan" thanks you! :) (P.S. It's not really not as crazy at it all sounds...I don't actually let him melee most of the time, especially against anything bigger than a kobold, and Xan is quite resilient with good HPs, a decent AC, and great saves. Plus the Uncanny Dodge familiars get is AWESOME.) [/QUOTE]
