still waiting for a familiar product

[jaldaen]

I noticed on your list of 3.5 announcements that this book wasn't one of them.

With the radical change in bonuses a familiar grants it's master, will this book need web support or ?

Actually EA: Familiars provides a whole new mechanic for determining what benefits a familiar grants you so it should not need a web-enhancement as the system though based off of 3ed provides you with all you need... this allows a GM to determine the boon of non-standard familiars with relative ease...

Also the book has rules for allowing up to CR 13 familiars and a list of appropriate boons for every creature within the MM of CR 13 or below using the mechanic I developed for determining boons...

Hope that Helps,
Joseph Miller

PS: Feel free to ask me more questions on EA: Familiars and I will provide answers if able to... ;-)

We have also monkeyed around with Jaldean's original text, brining Familiars up to 3.5 standard. In fact, all our books of the past couple of months, while not 3.5 compatible per se, have been written with 3.5 in mind - the changes required in our recent releases will therefore be absolutely minimal, if needed at all.

Well, I'm still eager to buy the books (yes, probably both of them), although it's in my nature to be perturbed at missed promised deadlines. I'll forgive you sooner or later.

Of existing things I think there are few that have a little familiar stuff in them. SSS's Relics and Rituals has a greater familiar spell, FFG's Spells and Spellcraft has a bunch of familiar boosting powers for xp, Bastions Minions has inner-planar familiars and a feat to gain them, Forgotten Realms Campaign setting has an improved familiar feat as does Tome and Blood. Tome and blood has some familiar buffing spells and Mongooses' Quintessential Wizard has some familiar magic items as does Masters of the Wild.

thanks

Thanks Joe. Jason Peck is working through this right now bringing it all up to speed. He's a perfect command of the new rules...I found this out yesterday when talking to him about it. lol

The book will be hardback and really really ground breaking.

Now wait for the Cult of the Sword . . .

Tensen has the whip to the back of my head right now beating me for further data for the Dark Quest familiars project... it'll be a good one... Steven Creech did alot of work on it, not to mention several other incredible writers, artists, and developers.
