Hey All!
#1 Question about the interaction with this. Given the familiar has the construct type, when it increases from tiny to medium, does it gain the +20 bonus hit points?
#2 Would this change function like temporary hit points, meaning I could cycle through my 3x per day ability to shift back and forth to effectively give myself up to +60 HP worth of "free HP"?
#3 The text in the Evolved Familiar feat states "The familiar must conform to any limitations of the evolution. For instance, no familiars can benefit from the mount evolution." This text pre-dates the mauler familiar archetype where none were ever bigger than small. This is clearly now no longer the case, as if I'm small I can certainly ride many familiars that become medium. Does this "for example" preclude me from taking it and push this completely into "you can't do it, DM fiat." or is it just an example and not meant to be taken as literal rules text?
(Note: The ultimate goal here is to make a familiar that's actually somewhat combat capable.)
