My mistake, it's only the Bard class for Sea Singer that says a Monkey or Parrot may be taken. The cleric of Besmara can take any normal Familiar.

Derwalt, the Sea Singer gets the Familiar at level 2 but uses the Bard's level as his Wizard level. Same for the Cleric, it states that the Familiar uses the Cleric's level.

So another question. If I am a level 12, 5Cleric/5Bard/2Msytic Theurge and I take Improved Familiar then make a Homunculus what would the level be?

Would it be level 10 since both my cleric and bard levels stack for the familiar?

The reason I ask is because both Cleric and Bard classes say you only get to pick from a Monkey or Parrot. But the feat for Improved Familiar just says you need to have the ability to get a familiar as a prerequisite.

Ah ok that's what I was wondering. So when I go Mystic Theurge the level counts as Arcane Spellcaster Level right? It's not another level of bard but it would be a level of Arcane Spellcaster for the prerequisites of Improved Familiar correct?

So I have a two part quest about this.

1) As a Cleric of Besmara I can drop a domain to take a familiar, in this case a monkey. So I go 5 level's as cleric. Then I go 5 levels of Bard. I have high Cha and Wis. The Bard archetype Sea Singer can have a Monkay Familiar as well at level 2. Does this mean when I take Mystic Theurge at level 11 that my Familiar would be the same level as me? since both Cleric and Bard levels count for its level?

2) If that's not the case would it be better to take a the Improved Familiar feat, Boon Familiar and make a Homunculus using a large amount of gold?
