Witch's Familiar

[Nymor]

1) What does Detect Magic reveals about a witch's familiar? Does it appear magical?

2) Which modifiers gets a tiny witch familiar that takes a medium humanoid form with his master's Alter Self?

[Richard Leonhart]

not 100% sure
1) no
2) tiny magical beast of its choice.

1. Familiars have no aura so detect magic does nothing.
2. +4 str, -2 dex. There is a chart in the magic chapter under the polymorph heading.

[Starglim]

1. Detect magic detects two things: spells and magic items. Many GMs might house rule that it also detects spell-like abilities. It doesn't detect creatures unless they have spells on them, are non-instantaneous spell effects, or are magic items.

If it is a homunculus, then yes.
