Hello, any ideas on how to efficiently move allies?


Advice


Hi all. I am rolling up an Arcanist with an improved familiar. I want to help an allied two-weapon fighter get as many full attacks as possible. I have an improved familiar assigned to taxi service for the task. So far I am looking at a wand of Telekinetic Charge, Jester's Jaunt, or Dimension Door. These are a little expensive for the sale cap at local markets, so I am hoping someone has an idea for something else. I'm looking for a cheap item that will get the job done, or even better, an alternate strategy/ method I had not considered. I do have craft wondrous item. Thanks for your time!

Scarab Sages

This should probably be in the advice thread.

Other options are Ring of spell storing with expeditious retreat, long arm, or shield cast into it. A cheaper alternative is the cracked vibrant purple prism ioun stone. It is only 2k and holds one first level spell like the ring of spell storing. Another good spell to put on there is true strike. The fighter can used it to get a nearly guaranteed trip. Then enjoy +4 attack until the enemy gets up, provoking an AOO.

You could also enlarge your familiar (if it's small) and reduce the fighter, then have him ride your familiar into battle.

There's also always haste.

If you're Chaotic Evil, you can get a ratling familiar who can cast d-door 3 times per day.


If you are allowed to make a word caster the Accelerate word gives an extra move action, so he could move then full-attack.

It's the word magic equivalent of Haste, but a little different.

Reposition combat maneuver?

Without looking it up, I think if you use it on an ally the roll should be much lower (or it should be automatic), but that's your standard action.


The spell Contingent Action is just amazing.

(Or you can buy him a Quick Runner's Shirt.)


Wand of Floating Disk at 750 gp and uses your familiar's UMD and move actions. If your Improved Familiar has sorcerer levels like the Pseudodragon, you don't even need UMD. However, it needs to use the wand, or else it is your move actions moving the disk.

For craft Wondrous items, an intelligent flight item works. Adding the intelligence allows the item to activate itself, and some flight items are cheap.
