Familiar benefits depend on the level.There would be an Int boost only if the human familiar is dumber than what the dragon's level give. For a dragon with only one sorcerer level, that would only boost the Int of a human with an Int below 5... And if you're smarter than 15, only a dragon with epic levels in Sor could boost you.While you would get nifties like Improved Evasion, the deal would not be totally nice for the human, though. Most notably, you would lose the capacity to progress in levels. No more XP for you! They would go to the dragon. Which, given his massive ECL, would not level often.On the plus side, you'd share the dragon's lifespan. And if you are yourself an arcanist, your own familiar would, then, too.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
