Bloodline Familiars

System: Pathfinder | SRD | Type: familiar

Source FF

Those with an inherent connection to magic often attract creatures who feel a similar instinctive pull toward magical forces. At 1st level, a sorcerer, bloodrager, or any other character with one of the following bloodlines can choose to gain a bloodline familiar. The character gains a familiar (as a wizard’s familiar), treating her class level as her wizard level for the purposes of this ability. This familiar has an additional ability listed below based on the master’s bloodline.

This replaces the 1st-level bloodline power granted by the character’s bloodline; in addition, the character gains bonus spells from her bloodline one level later than she normally would. For example, a sorcerer with the aberrant bloodline who takes a bloodline familiar would not gain the acidic ray bloodline power, and she would gain her first bonus spell at 4th level, her second bonus spell at 6th level, and so on.

GMs may use the following bloodline familiar abilities as written, or employ them as guidelines for devising bloodline familiar abilities for bloodlines not listed below.

Aberrant

Squeezer (Ex)

The familiar gains the compression ability, allowing it to move through an area as small as one-quarter its space without squeezing or one-eighth its space when squeezing.

Abyssal

Grotesque Appendages (Ex)

The damage dice of each of the familiar’s natural attacks increases by one die step.

Arcane

Spell Catalyst (Su)

Spells you cast that target your familiar are treated as having a caster level 2 levels higher than your actual caster level.

Celestial

Heavenly Touch (Su)

A number of times per day equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier, your familiar can grant fast healing 1 to an allied creature it’s touching. This effect lasts a number of rounds equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1) or until the familiar stops touching the creature, whichever comes first. At 10th level, the familiar grants fast healing 2 instead.

At 20th level, the familiar grants fast healing 3 instead.

Destined

Foretold Touch (Su)

The familiar gains a +1 luck bonus on attack rolls to deliver touch
