[QUOTE="Caliban, post: 358079, member: 284"] I've never said that they are immune to attacks. Just that if they are in a container they won't take damage from area affect spells or similar effects, unless the container is destroyed first. You can still target the container with a directed attack, such as with a melee weapon, ranged attack, or targeted spell. Even if you did allow a familiar to be vulnerable to area effects, they would still have their improved evasion. [b][/b] If the bag is immune to fireballs, anything inside the bag would be immune as well. [b][/B] Well, if the halfling can move around inside the sack, technically he would get a saving throw and the bag it would be an attended item. *shrug* It's a bit silly, but there you are. If the halfling is tied up inside the bag (for example) and can't move, then there is no saving throw possible, the bag takes full damage, is destroyed, and then the tied up halfling takes full damage.
