so far I have had the pixie - I am playing a mostly fighter/ some sorceror, and the pixie's abilitiy to pick locks and disarm traps is really really handy. Also the pixie is cute and has a funny little voice and says weird nonsense. Also some enemies will get distracted and attack the pixie instead of the fighter in platemail w/ a greatsword - the pixie is very weak but quite hard to hit so they usually just waste their time. The pixie will zoom into battle though and get toasted quite frequently - its' attacks do 1 point usually - earlier tonight the pixie killed a (weak) enemy mage though I was very proud - there was much feeding, petting and playing with the familiar after that. I think if I played a full mage I would be tempted to get the devil dog though, something that could tank for me. You know you can change your familiar each level you gain depending on your needs.
