[QUOTE="Chris Knapp, post: 5277696, member: 65116"] Its not specifically stated where the familiar gets placed on the battle map when transitioning from passive to active, but seeing as its a tiny creature, and tiny creatures are allowed to end their movement in a square with any creature larger than they are, it seems logical that they occupy your square. Its your choice how you want to economize your actions. If you're surrounded, you can use a minor to go to active, a minor to go use Serpent's Startle, then a move/standard to get you out of the way. The effect lasts until the end of your next turn, so you can either hope he won't be targeted until he can move himself next turn, or burn an AP to use a move, or a minor to make him passive (causing him to appear back on your person, no matter the distance.) Yes. As long as the serpent still has 1 hp, his constant benefits apply no matter whether he's active or passive. [/QUOTE]
