Magefamiliars Revised1-10-09

A mage can form a bond with an animal to become its familiar over the course of 3 months. During this time, the mage cannot be away from the animal for more than 24 hours. Once bonded, the familiar gains new ability scores and wisdom-based powers. It can communicate with and sense its mage, see in the dark, and store energy points to enhance attacks or be spent on additional powers. Examples of potential familiars include various animals, constructs, swarms, tokens, and even undead creatures under the mage's control.

Mage Familiars

A Mage may wish to have an animal companion. The animal but first be captured, created or found. Then the
animal must live with the mage for three months. During that time the mage can not be away from the animal for
longer than 24 hours at a time. Once this happens a bond is created between the mage and the animal. The animal will
be unfailingly loyal to the mage. The mage and animal will be able to sense each other when not together.
When an animal becomes a familiar all of its ability scores need to be re-rolled. Roll 2D10 for each one. If
the roll is less than the original number used the original number. Add a D6 to Wisdom. Use the chart below to see how
