Rabbit Familiar?

[Shin Okada]

Recently, I got Reaper's Halfling Wizard miniature which has a cute rabbit familiar with it.

Does any book contain rule and stats for a rabbit familiar?

 

[Purzel]

Why not make one up?

Suggestions for a familar special:

• Master gets +5 (+10) feet base speed
  
  or
• +2 to Listen checks
  
  or
• +2 to Hide checks
  
  or
• +2 to Jump checks
  
  or
• Run feat

Shouldn't be that hard.

Suggestions for stats:

Rabbit: HD ¼d8, Init+2, Speed 40, AC16, Attacks: none,
Fort+2, Ref+4, Will+1, Hide+15 (+10 in native surrounding),
Move Silently +4, Spot+2, Listen +14, Jump +10

In the Dragon article on new familiars (#280), hares grant their master a +2 on Listen checks.

What are the stats for a rabbit?

Hare

... Spd 30, ...

Hmm, i'd make it Speed 40. A hare should be able to outrun a normal human.

As for the benefits to the master, I'd make it +1 or +2 on Initiative. Rabbits are supposed to be hyper-vigilant for predators and ultra-fast in responding to the presence of same, so ... 8)

 

[Kae'Yoss]

Make the bonuses +3. So +3 to listen seems appropriate. Or +3 to your number of children (since rabbits breed like, well, rabbits ) But no increase to base speed, that might be out of line.
