Alertness and a bonus like +2 Fort WOOT........NOT!!!!C'mon folks, they are soooo much more handy than that!Take for example the delivery of touch spells, and I'm not talking about delivering some whup ass to the bad guy, forget that!!! I'm talking the bolstering of yer partners, yes the other party members!!!Take for instance, yet again your DM has forced an encounter in a tunnel, 5ft wide and you are at the back and the main tank is up front getting the smack down laid on his ugly, half-orc butt!!! He's down to not so many HP's and seriously needs a boost both HP wise and maybe lots else.........so why don't you cast Polymorph and get your familiar to go deliver it to that stoopid half-orc tank who's taking a pounding? BOSH, all of a sudden, Mr half-orc is now an Annis Hag or a troll, has healed some HP's and gained a hell of a lot more.........and you didn't even have to get anywhere near the smelly git  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  Ok so you couldn't get near him anyways but that's not the point.So, any other mages etc. out there actually use their familiars? Well I do and my party has bets on how long it'll last because I've actually dared to use it!!! In fact they've lost money so far because, and let's face it, they are pretty tough, at least at lowish levels!And I've managed to derail my own thread before it's even started.......My point was actually gonna be regarding your familiar and the Polymorph Any Object spell......Seriously, you can cast that spell.....wouldn't you transform that furry little critter into something FAR bettter? And if yes, then what? And, more importantly, if your familiar was a Raven, like mine, then what would be the best thing to transform him into?Just remember, the Raven into XXXXX is more important seeing as that's the familiar I have however I'd love to hear of any other ideas for other familiars.Cheers, Daar.</blockquote>
