XD. I Could just see a kangaroo rat opening its jaw, and letting out a pea sized flame of "oh [Wuve!]!!!" and then torching a room for 1d3 damage (caster level 0, for teh cheeply spammed spells of pointless flamboyance.)... also the, diminutive, kangaroo rat could easy carry, not drage, Cary three 10 foot poles around Med load of 26.5 with 8 Str.... It's teh supah strong kangaroo rate XD ... I'm sorry, but once I thought of it I just had to try to get something like it XDBut onto more realistic characters: I like the consept, but while I like the idea of the familiar being the smart one, it's been done before*, and that makes the familiar, or in this set up, the lead character, depened on the factual character to be intelligent enough to be a competent caster but dumb enough that something they made, that starts out with a int intellect down there with the most intellectually challenged orcs, can out smart them and dominat them mentally, I love RPing whimsically, but I draw my own line in the sand in terms of belivability: the rodent that has the soul of a apprentice caster has became magical and is tossing around flamboyantly ineffective spells left and right while going on an ego trip before being whisked away by the tail by an ally? I can see that happening in my warped little mind, but a competent caster (and lets be frank, no one will make a caster without strong mental stats) who gets bent to the will of a random familiar? I find that hard to swallow.[*if I recall right, either a half ogre or just an ogre becoming a caster  and then the fimiler franticly trying to become it's own caster becuse  it knows that big dumb and stupid will get himself killed sooner  then latter]Any ways, as I ways saying, onto resinable characters, I do have a clockwork Knight I've never goten to use, probably start him out as an artifacter and then grow to have Construct Grafting and then RP him getting a <s>little</s> [very] chopped up during a fight after he gets grafting and has every thing needed to replace an arm and two legs at the knees.Two Pictures: <a href="http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f135/Forest_Herder/Drawings/AlexCWK.jpg" target="_blank">Old,</a> <a href="http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f135/Forest_Herder/Drawings/AlexanderRavensworth.jpg" target="_blank">Newish.</a></blockquote>
