[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 3855621, member: 4936"] Okay...I'm zeroing in on a final concept now. Just a couple more questions. First, verifying that ex-familiar Pseudodragon has 15 class levels? Bearing in mind the base stats of the creature are 2 HD, blindsense, SR, flight, telepathy, etc...that's all with no familiar qualities (which I wouldn't be taking anyway...needlessly overcomplicates the concept). Second, have you decided if nymph gets 7 or 8 class levels? It makes a big difference, because if it's 8, a nymph druid could start the game with access to 8th level spells...thus making it a lot more attractive as a concept. Clarification on ex-familiar's "familiar," I'd probably take a human cohort and make him seem like "my mage." Perhaps using Limited Wish to revive him if he dies in the line of duty. :) I don't think ex-familiar would actually have a familiar of his own. There is a variant class ability for sorcerors in PHB2 called "Metamagic Specialist." They don't increase casting time for metamagic enhanced spells, but also don't gain familiars. If you allow that, I'd probably take it...since the pdragon would need to cast a lot of silenced, stilled spells to make it look like the human was casting them. :) [/QUOTE]
