Familiars are animals that are bound to you by magic or training. They are loyal and trained to never falter unless you do.

Choose a form for your familiar and discuss what basic abilities it might have such as Flying, Swimming, Senses or minor magic (i.e. cantrips) with your GM.

A Basic Familiar:

• Is small or smaller than a cat, has 2hp.

• Is unable to directly assist in combat.

• Will follow your commands to a the degree of a trained dog.

• Cannot die casually, it will return next recovery.

• Has [½level] bonus for skill checks it would be good at.

Familiars can be improved by the use of Tags.
