[QUOTE="Elder-Basilisk, post: 354570, member: 3146"] Hmm. Well then it looks like WoT warders wouldn't help. How about eliminate the share spells feature. Eliminate Improved Evasion. Eliminate the 1/2 masters' hit points--most PCs will have better than that anyway. Eliminate the sharing of the masters' saves and skills. Retain the natural armor bonus but with a more limited progression: +1 natural armor/4 sor/wiz levels (rounded down to a minimum of 1) Change the sensory features: Lvl 1--sor/wiz and familiar may sense each others' presence within 1 mile radius. As a standard action, the Sor/wiz may make a d20 roll (adding his base will save bonus and his wisdom bonus) opposed by the familiar's will save to force his familiar to obey a particular order as if effected by [i]Dominate Person[/i] Lvl 3--sor/wiz and familiar enjoy limited empathic communication within 300 feet. (Limited empathy allows emotions to be sensed and both can tell whether the other is injured, etc). Both sor/wiz and familiar enjoy the benefits of alertness when within 30 feet of each other. Familiar may be designated as the deliverer of touch range spells provided he is no more than 30 feet from the caster at the time of casting. The sor/wiz may still not cast any other spells without losing the held charge. Lvl 5--sor/wiz and familiar enjoy telepathic communication within 300 feet; May sense ea. others' presence within 5 miles and determine exact location within 1 mile. Sor/wiz gains +2 to command familiar rolls. Lvl 7--sor/wiz may scry on familiar Lvl 9--sor/wiz may share familiar's sight as if the familiar were the sensor of a claurvoyance spell. Sor/wiz gains +3 to command familiar rolls (replaces the previous bonus). Lvl 11--sor/wiz Sor/wiz gains +4 to command familiar rolls (replaces the previous bonus). Lvl 15--Sor/wiz gains +5 to command familiar rolls (replaces the previous bonus). Lvl 19--Sor/wiz gains +6 to command familiar rolls (replaces the previous bonus). [/QUOTE]
