Familiar Fix

Put in your override folder.

Any chance this could be added to the server?

Known Bugs:
Saves for Familiars aren't 100% correct
Base Creature for familiars must have low int
Familiars cannot have dodge
Resting with Familiar out will cause it to lose bonuses (Anybody got a fix for this?)
HP of Familiar can be inflated through buffing
BAB of Familiar can be inflated through buffing

What it does:
Fixes Familiars
Familiar BAB now equals Masters BAB
Familiar AC is now Correct
Familiar INT is now Correct
Familiar Skills are now Correct
Familiar Stats are now Correct
Familiar HP is equal to 1/2 Master HP
Familiar HD is equal to Master HD
Familiars now all get the familiar feats: Alertness, Improved Evasion, (Weapon Finesse)
Familiars are easier to add (need only 1 UTC rather than 15 of them)

It should be noted this article on the Wizards site was consulted for how things would work. It's a good resource for tabletop DMs.

Should be fixed now, I think. Google drive lies to you when it says anybody can view.

I was told to resuggest this, so I am doing that.

I think we should give this topic some more thought.

Willing to accept the penalties for dead familiars? :P

There are some cheep familiar tricks that would be more widely used.. but I see no reason to make those actually worthwhile instead of something you park at a door.

Go as far as to say have it a 'onuse' item in your inventory, not like any of those pets aren't small enough to pocket anyways.
