Familiar

Post by Ohorridus »

Every time I cast "Find Familiar" I get a cat. Is it possible to summon any other familiars? And once summoned, can it be stuffed back to wherever it came from? The cat doesn't seem skilled at doing anything but dying....

-this ought to be your mage's closest (and only Image ) friend
-no matter what you get, DON'T let it die for your mage loses CON and that's nasty
-if you don't see any use in it don't summon it for it kills nothing but backpack-space

The strategy guide mentioned that as a evil character you could abuse your familiar and get some funny results; anyone tried this?

the familiars are good for one thing..providing extra hps..several of the them have 24 hp, meaning your PCmage gets a bonus of 12! so summon it!

Although I can´t say my Rabbit has been much use.....only thing special with it is that it can detect traps.......Does anyone know if the rabbit can pickpocket too??? Because when speaking to my rabbit I can choose a line that says - Give me all the stuff that you have pickpocketed....also the rabbit has a thieving icon but it is darkened so I can´t use it.
