I recently acquired access to a Pseudodragon for a familiar on a boon sheet. I'm a warrior, so I've re-trained as a Edlirch Guardian to allow myself to have a familiar.
The problem being, I'm level 3, so I have two more levels to go before I can actually use it (boon sheet allows me to use at level 5, rather than 7).
I was wondering, if I could a different familiar before then, and "call" it my Pseudodragon, since she is still a "diminutive adolescent". Then once I hit level 5, use the true adult stats for her.
If so, what familiar do you recommend I use for stat purposes?

Are you sure you don't mean faerie dragon, rather than pseudodragon? It looks like pseudodragons have always been legal, but you need a special boon for the faerie dragon.
Having run this adventure at a convention recently, I know the boon in question - it grants early access to the familiar, rather than unlocking an inaccessible option. ^_^

@Velisruna:
I really like the idea of using the Rhamphorhynchus; however, I don't own the material its from. Thanks for the ideas though.
@Uqbarian:
Yah, I had thought of using the thrush. My only problem there, is that to get any real value, my familiar needs to be more of a combat type.
@GM Tyrant:
Princess True, that might confuse people/cause problems.
@Kalindlara & Ascalaphus:
Also, the sting counts as silver for purposes of bypassing damage reduction.

It's not only about confusion; it's a long-standing rule.
That said, according to my research, it's something that even Campaign Leadership is fine with being flexible about at times. Just understand that your GM has the right to rule against you in this matter.

My original idea, was if I used the thrush familiar, I would use it as a thrush for all things stat/game wise; however, cosmetically I would introduce it as the character of my adolescent pseudo dragon. So that RP wise, I'm not just throwing out my familiar of six adventures for something better, rather that my familiar grew up.
That is what I meant about confusion. For all intents and purposes, its a thresh, but introduced as different alias.

I have a PC who is planning to get a pseudodragon familiar too; right now he's got a compsognathus figment familiar. I'm casting that as a dream of a dragon trying to narrow itself down into the proper shape and become fully real, but just not quite managing it yet.
This is an excellent idea. ^_^
