How vulnerable are familiars?

arial

My opinoin on familiars is to just paint a big bullseye on your back instead. Much better chance.

Hey! You didn't say if we were still best friends or not.

Of course we're still friends.

Cool!

Can I borrow 5 dollars?

wow

if you really want to kill that familiar thats in a pocket have the PC take a long fall... i mean the cover from a pocket doesnt help you agains gravity. similarly, poison gas or drowning works just as well. i personaly hate familiars and see them as a pain in the ass. its a lot of troube to always ask where the familiar is and i think its just crap to have the stupid animal always around but in a pocket. i mean how many times have you gone through an entire dungeon crawl and then thought at the end "gee i wonder where my familiar was that whole time, its a good thing he was out of harms way and still gave me bonuses"

All I know is that if I play in your campaign, I'm running around in a huge burlap sack pulled up over my head. It's better than most displacement (woohoo! Total undispellable concealment!) AND has the added bonus of protecting me from AOE damage effects according to the interpretation you seem to like.

Personally? I'll keep to rulings that go by common sense over the letter of the law when things get this ridiculous in my campaigns. Hopefully you aren't really going to play according to what's been spoken here and you are just being silly.

That's right.

A familiar in your pocket is nuked, even if you aren't.

But if you're a fighter, and fall a 100 feet, you have a good chance of not dieing.
