Kiwi

[Geocorona]

Here are some things I don't think any of the regular familiars grant. Only grant one, of course:

Haste 1 round/day
+2 Hide check
Scent with a 10-ft. range.

Geo: You have no idea of the power of Haste do you?

Ferret: +5 movement sounds good, no other familiars grant it, and it is not as overpowered as <snicker> Haste 1/day. It is infact, quite comparable to the other familiars granted abilities. I.e: if it is more powerful than a weak non-epic feat, then it's to good.

By the way, should a turtle familiar grant a swim speed or +1 natural armor?

Swim...

 

[Geocorona]

I meant 1 bonus round of haste when the spell is cast, and only once a day. I was too abbreviated.

 

[Krishnath]

Personally I would rather see that a Kiwi familiar grant a +5' movement bonus on overland speed, as that is more usefull at first level and beyond. Besides with the persistant spell metamagic feat you can get a 24h haste spell...

 

[Geocorona]

Yep, that's a fine granted bonus. A kiwi is weak and useless enough to warrant some bonus.

 

[Krishnath]

Geo: Ever tried to catch a kiwi bird?

 

[Geocorona]

I'm sure I couldn't!

 

[Krishnath]

Not many people can, rats on the other hand...

Low light vision works like double the human standard in light thus a 50ft radius light lets the kiwi see 100ft
