Have you ever killed a familiar?

[ThirdWizard]

Not in 3E. They're very protective of their familiars, and half of PCs that can have one don't take them.

In a D&D module I played in, A room had a strong magnet/reverse gravity effect that sucked people in and threw them into whirling blades (automatic damage per round til death).

I made my save.

My familar didn't.

At the end of the day, the effect would have been the same: I lost a con point.

Yeah, they die very often in the games I've played in. To the point where some of my friends won't even bother with them because they will just die.

Heh, I haven't killed a familiar in- well, a long time, at least as far as I can recall, and I'm one of Brain's dms...

On the other hand, I have killed plenty of pcs' pets (especially halfling riding dogs!).
