[QUOTE="stevelabny, post: 1393556, member: 9298"] Taking a break from a homebrew with no clerics and no familiars and making a fun 7th level gestalt cleric/sorceror But these will be standard familiar questions... I'm not clear on exactly how the "Shared spells" work. "At the master's option, he may have any spell he casts on himself ALSO affect his familiar" I can also charge my with a touch spell and make him touch someone. Fine. I can cast a spell on myself and let it affect him also as long as he stays within 5 feet. I take this to work on most protection spells like mage armor and such. We BOTH get the armor bonus.Right? What about mirror image? Multiple mes and multiple hims? If I cast a cure spell, do we BOTH get healed? or is it me OR him? If I cast a spell like Produce Flame, do we BOTH get flames in our palms? Can we BOTH throw them? (i'd assume that at the very least, each throw would still shrink the time) what about this spell from Relics and Rituals...Dragon's Breath. It basically lets me breathe like a dragon with my choice of energy at casting. Again, I will assume we dont BOTH get the benefit (because doubling offensive spells is ridiculous) but can the familiar be the one who actually does the dragon-breathing? (thus making people think he's a real dragon. they're scared, he's happy, i'm happy) Next question: The Pseudodragon entry in the MM says his base attack is +2, his attack is +4. How can this be? Shouldn't it be +6 (+2 size, +2 base attack, +2 dex mod w/weapon finesse) Yes, I'm aware the familiar gets MY bab onces he's a familiar, but I wanted to clear that up. But now that we're here. It states that the familiar gets MY BAB+his str/dex mod. What about his size bonus? Does that get added in too? Or does it get left out to balance the upgrade in BAB? Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
