Message: <blockquote data-quote="Li Shenron" data-source="post: 535435" data-attributes="member: 1465">I have seen a Toad and an Owl, but most players are scared about the possible Xp loss if the familiar dies, and usually they don't want to have one. Or they tend to leave it at home, losing the benefit of Alertness and any other usefulness except the granted power (which IIRC works anyway only up to 1 mile away).I know more than one DM with the attitude of purposefully bring trouble to this kind of character feature. I wonder why, but those DMs seem to feel compelled to wreck the Familiar, to steal the Spellbook, to prevent use of every story-spoiler Divination or alignment detection, and more. It was one of the reason why I decided to be the DM when we started playing (I mean, to prevent such behaviour), until someone else proved to be a reasonable DM.</blockquote>
