That seems to defeat the purpose of taking the improved familiar feat.It seems to me to be a part of the balancing process for improved familiars. If none of the HD scaling effects of the fiendish or celestial templates apply to them, fiendish and celestial familiars are so dramatically infererior to the other available improved familiars that they're not even worth considering. If the HD scaling effects do apply then there are reasons to consider taking such familiars although it's certainly not an open and shut case.</blockquote>
