Lucky, I’ve only seen one familiar bite it in my games and that was due to the player being careless.  You don’t sit down in unknown woods alone to cast a 10-minute spell thinking that the large owl sitting in a low branch is enough to guard over you, needless to say one displacer beast got an easy lunch while two others decided to share the larger meal.  The owl was resurrected later along with the player, after the other players came to the rescue, but killed him with an area effect spell in the process of killing the displacer beasts.  RD</blockquote>
