D&D 3E/3.5 Necromancer and a Familiar <3.5>

[LuckyBoneDice]

In my Friday Night game, I'm gonna be running a 2nd level Necromancer (played as an Utterdark Nukeromancer) and have to pick a familiar. I have 2 quastions:

Would a child have the necessary rules to be a familiar (based on the blood component/magic component)

and

Would a slaymate (LM) make a good familiar for a necromancer

 

[Dandu]

1. No.
2. Cool.

 

[Volcarthe]

RAW:
no and no(especially not without Improved Familiar).
since you have libris mortis, you might want to consider the Stiched Flesh Familiar route which will help with your undead-related stuff.

Children aren't animals.
Familars without Improved Familiar feat are animals. The feat lets yoi have almost any type as a familar (DM decides if possible).

Slaymate would be fine if took Improved Familar so sure.

 

[Theo R Cwithin]

A fat hairless monkey is kind of like a kid.

Use that til you get Improved Familiar for the slaymate.

You've clearly never been to any kindergarten.

For a Necromancer's familiar, you can't beat a dead horse.

I shouldn't but XPs for that one!

Correction. I can't give XPs for that. I must have given you XPs for something else recently.

As a Psion might say, its the thought that counts.
