[QUOTE="drunkmoogle, post: 1714788, member: 18336"] Unfortunately, Familiars don't gain hit dice and thus, no feats. Darkness is a good spell to cast on your familiar; it gives you and some of your allies mobile concealment without blocking your line of effect. Some other good spells to cast on your familiar are Magic Circle against evil and Silence [Cleric, Bard]. Invisibility helps if your familiar will merely be this flying buff machine, as none of its actions will end Invisibility. You can cast a touch spell and have your familiar hold the charge before a major battle, giving you an extra spell in. Also, your familiar could Aid Another an ally. A single rank in tumble is useful in avoiding AoOs. Stretching the rules a little, there are some situations where your character is under magical influence and is about to do something very stupid. In this case, if you are a small character, you could have your familiar(hopefully tiny and not dimunitive) try to trip you. If your DM insists on having you act before your familiar, or vice-versa, you could simply delay until you or the familiar acts. Since you're on the same initiative, it shouldn't make a difference.
