Can I get an familiar if I´m a rouge. And if it is so , how?
I´m a noob so I would like some help.

Familars are only available to Wizards and Sorcerors. Druids get Companions, and Rangers, at level 6, get Companions. I'm not sure aboutr Bards.

If you take one level of, say, Sorcerer, not only do you get a nice familiar, but due to the way the NWN XP system works, you actually get more XP. :0

So, I don´t lose anything on it. No multiclass penalty?

Depends on your race. If you're human or half-elf it won't matter.

And what about bard??
Is a bard a wizard ???
can I do the wizard quest with bard and get a familliar

As the Canuck(Aegis) already said, only Wizards and Sorcerers can get familiars. And they don't need a quest to do so.

Bards are not Wizards. They are a completely seperate class, just as Sorcerers are not Wizards.

It's still pink, Garret

Also, keep in mind that, Bards also get less, and a different array of, spells then a wizard and sorceror gets. The casting for them work like a sorceror's, in that you get x total a day, and access to all you have chosen, but you're limited to your initial choices.

What are the possible familiars for a sorcerer? Is the familiar they recieve alignment dependent or just random? Is it possible to have both an animal companion a la ranger and a familiar a la sorcerer? Has the empower familiar spell been worked into the game (I assume no)?

You choose your familar at level up, I can't remember the list, but you can see it at level up, if you try to take a arcane magic user level (sorcerer/wizard), and just dosen't accept at the end.

You can have a familar as well as a companion, yes, as they are two different abilities.

You can't empower the summon familar, because it is an abilitiy and not a spell.

I think you can also switch familiars any time you level up.
