Familiars

[Prophet]

Right, I'm a little way into Chapter 2 and have got my grubby mits on a Find Familiar spell :) and I was just wondering if anyone else has summoned a familiar. If so can you tell me what you got and if it's been any use. I kinda like the idea of 'em but the permanent loss of one point of constitution if anything bad happens to 'em is worrying me a bit :eek:

i value my charachter's constition too much to cast that.

The kind of familiar you get depends on your alignment. The abilities of the familiar vary according to type - my LN sorceror has a ferret which is adept at picking pockets and stealthing, for example.

When you summon a familiar you get bonus hit points equal to half the familiar's hit points. You can store the familiar in your backpack which will prevent it dying in fights (unless you die yourself, in which case the loss of one constitution point is the least of your worries...). I decided summoning a familiar was worth it for the entertainment value, and I have yet to regret my decision.

Thanks for the advice, I think I'll give it a go. At the very least it'll give Boo some company :)
