I also have a Dire Bat familiar, named NeverNight. We just ran into some powerful Drow NPC at the climatic end of an adventure and right away 1/2 the party was down.  I started summoning giant beeltes, bees, wasps, etc to bog down the bad guys and it was pure "insecty" fun.  And all the things I summons were equals of the normal beasts you could summon.  I also got to use my control vermin when we were surprised by 3 hugh spiders.  That was cool controling them.  Until one of the party members decied to shoot arrows at them and did not realize I could loose my control of them if they were attacked.  Luckly, this did not happen!Anyway!  Just my version of a druid.</blockquote>
