Who wants to be a Wayfinder?

Well, not sure about a wolf-hound, but I'm sure you could go toy poodle :lol:

small dog might fit for a familiar (CR 1/3 small or tiny animal I think).

And that is the really frustrating part about familiars. I have no desire to use him for attacking or anything like that, but again rules wise, it doesn't matter. Hence, it will be an avian familiar for Patruk..:)
 

Yeah the Wolfhound (aka Riding Dog) kinda screams Improved Familiar, which in turn screams 'Yah gotta wait'. And that doesn't help with the current image creation for your mage.

Yeah but those can still be loads of fun. They give aerial recon and their nature makes them loyal and also good for guard (wake me up!!!) duty.

Also very true, so please don't think I am disappointed in that fact, I just have to select the right one. So, while right now the leading choice is a peregrine, I am looking through the avian index looking to see if another selection pops out at me...:)
 

And the winner is....the Kestrel...:)

Simple hunting bird that would appeal to Patruk's upbringing and will be an effective guardian as well. I think all in all, a fitting choice.

I know Whisper plans on having a raven familiar.

Yes...I know. A huge shock. :)

I just like the idea of this big, black muttering corvid on her shoulder...what's it saying into her ear? NONE CAN SAY!!

I shall call him, Quoth.

Or maybe not.

:heh:
 

I could be wrong, but I think that the improved familiar feat is essentially useless unless you have a few caster levels. I think there is a minimum caster level requirement (starting at 5?) depending on which familiar you want.

You can get a celestial or fiendish familiar at 3rd lvl caster but their abilities aren't that impressive. The really cool ones start at 5th lvl, though there are some neat ones on the alternate list in the Complete Warrior.
