Monstrous Physique on familiar


Rules Questions

Liberty's Edge

My question is PFS wise. I am playing a Skald with a 1 level dip in bloodrager. He has a Greensting Scorpion Familiar and has also access to level 5 wizard spells using spell kenning. Could I cast Monstrous Physique III on my familar with share spells and have him shape change into a huge monstrous humanoid, a Thriae Queen for example? Would he retain the teamwork feats gained by being a valet familiar in this new form?

You're 14th level? I thought PFS only went to 12th.


All of that should work together. At a much earlier level, you can use alter self in the same way.

While under the effects of a polymorph spell, you lose all extraordinary and supernatural abilities that depend on your original form (such as keen senses, scent, and darkvision), as well as any natural attacks and movement types possessed by your original form. You also lose any class features that depend upon form, but those that allow you to add features (such as sorcerers that can grow claws) still function. While most of these should be obvious, the GM is the final arbiter of what abilities depend on form and are lost when a new form is assumed. Your new form might restore a number of these abilities if they are possessed by the new form.

I think your familiar's powers from being a familiar would carry over, because familiar abilities are tied to being a familiar, not to being a tiny animal.

But it'd be up to your GM.

@ Gisher - There's modules and AP chapters that are sanctioned for PFS play over 12th.

Oh, I always forget that. Usually when people ask PFS questions they talk about 12th level or less.


The only vague thing to me is if a raven familiar can still talk when polymorphed. That is and isn't an ability based on the familiars old form.
