A Sorcerer’s familiar progresses are per the core familiar for arcane casters, starting with an Int 6 but only gains a point of Int every four Sorcerer levels (instead of every 2 levels). The Familiar gains a +1 Str instead of the +1 Int bonus.

If the spell requires a material component that costs more than 1 gp, you must have the material component at hand to cast the spell, just as normal.
