SummonFamiliar [Mage]
Prerequisite: Spell Power 1.

Benefit: Familiars are magically linked to their masters. In some sense, the familiar and the master are practically one being. That’s why, for example, the master can cast a personal range spell on a familiar even though normally he can only cast such a spell on himself. Familiars are similar to the normal creatures they resemble.

Familiar Basics: Use the basic statistics for a creature of its type, as given in the Monster Manual, but make these changes:

Hit Dice: Treat as the master’s character level (for effects related to Hit Dice). Use the familiar’s normal total if it is higher.

Hit Points: One-half the master’s total, rounded down. For example, at 2nd level, Hennet has 9 hit points, so his familiar has 4.

Attacks: Use the master’s base attack bonus. Use the familiar’s Dexterity or Strength modifier, whichever is greater, to get the familiar’s melee attack bonus with unarmed attacks. Damage equals that of a normal creature of that type.

Saving Throws: The familiar uses the master’s base saving throw bonuses if they’re better than the familiar’s (Fortitude +2, Reflex +2, Will +0).

Skills: Use the normal skills for an animal of that type or the master’s, whichever are better.

Table: Familiar Special Abilities

T

Familiar Ability Descriptions: All familiars have special abilities (or impart abilities to their masters) depending on the level of the master, as shown on Table : Familiar Special Abilities. The abilities on this table are cumulative.

Natural Armor: This number improves the familiar’s AC. It represents a familiar’s preternatural toughness.

Intelligence:: The familiar’s Intelligence score. Familiars are as smart as people (though not necessarily as smart as smart people).

Improved Evasion: If the familiar is subjected to an attack that normally allows a Reflex saving throw for half damage, the familiar takes no damage if it makes a successful saving throw and half damage even if the saving throw fails. Improved evasion is an extraordinary ability.

Share Spells: At the master’s option, he may have any spell he casts on himself also affect his familiar. The familiar must be within 5 feet at the time. If the spell has a duration other than instantaneous, the spell stops affecting the familiar if it moves farther than 5 feet away. The spell’s effect will not be restored even if the familiar returns to the master before the duration would otherwise have ended. Additionally, the master may cast a spell with a target of “You” on his familiar (as a Touch range spell) instead of on himself. The master and familiar can share spells even if the spells normally do not affect creatures of the familiar’s type (magical beast).

Empathic Link: The master has an empathic link with the familiar out to a distance of up to one mile. The master cannot see through the familiar’s eyes, but the two of them can communicate telepathically. Note that the low Intelligence of a low-level master’s familiar limits what it is able to communicate or understand, and even intelligent familiars see the world differently from humans. This is a supernatural ability.

Because of the empathic link between the familiar and the master, the master has the same connection to an item or place that the familiar does. For instance, if his familiar has seen a room, the master knows about the room.

Touch: If the master is 7th level or higher, the familiar can deliver touch spells for the master. When the master casts a touch spell, he can designate his familiar as the “toucher.” (The master and the familiar have to be in contact at the time of casting.) The familiar can then deliver the touch spell just as the master could. As normal, if the master casts another spell, the touch spell dissipates.

Speak with Animals of Its Type: The familiar can communicate with animals of approximately the same type as itself (including dire variants): bats and rats with rodents, cats with felines, hawks and owls and ravens with birds, snakes with reptiles, toads with amphibians, weasels with creatures of the mustelidae family (weasels, minks, polecats, ermines, skunks, wolverines, and badgers). The communication is limited by the Intelligence of the conversing creatures.

Speak with Master: The familiar and master can communicate verbally as if they were using a common language. Other creatures do not understand the communication with out magical help.

Spell Resistance: If the master is 25th level or higher, the familiar gains spell resistance equal to the (master’s level / 5) + 5. If another spellcaster tries to affect someone else’s familiar with a spell, that spellcaster must make a caster level check (1d20 + caster level) at least equal to the familiar’s spell resistance.

Scry: If the master is 31st level or higher, the master may scry on the familiar (as if casting the spell scrying) once per day. This is a spell-like ability that requires no material components or focus
