Witch familiar must have familiar?


Rules Questions

Never made one before, so I started tinkering with a Witch build, seeing how it looks. First off, I should mention that I typically use Hero Lab to build characters. But this is raising a confusing issue with me. Upon seeing the list of familiars I noticed the Wasp Familiar option. Then I looked at the requirements, and adjusted my character to have the right alignment and worship the correct deity. But it still gives an error message that reads

Wasp Familiar: Master must have wasp familiar

Wait, what? How can I have a wasp familiar... before picking my familiar? Is this requiring I already have a familiar from another source to pick this? Do I need a feat like Improved Familiar? Or is this just a recursive error? If it is a feat, which book is it in? I'm assuming the feat must be named "wasp familiar" or something if it's not Improved Familiar.

As I mentioned, never tried building a witch before so I'm unsure just what is going on here.


As you guessed, there's a feat called wasp familiar, that gives you a wasp as a familiar (regardless of wether you have the class feature) and in your case, will improve it at 5th level.


Just a heads up, the wasp familiar feat isn't allowed for PFS (as per the recently updated Additional Resources page)

Good to know. The entry was confusing me due to demanding I have a familiar when I was picking a familiar. What book is the feat in? Cause I'm not seeing it in the list, even with all my data packages enabled.

It's in the Dirty Tactics Toolbox.
