Diabolist Companion shapechange

[Phasics]

Just a quick question

First the diabolist companion says it has d10 HD
and that it uses diabloist + caster level to determine its Hit Dice

so for all intensive purposes the imp companion is a full d10 HD critter which will basically have a Fighter HP.

Now throw in the whole share spells thing where spells with a target of you can be cast on your familiar

so your full d10 Imp + Form of the Dragon III or Plant Shape III, Giant Form II, Shapechange.

and you've got a sweet potentially HUGE critter with fighter HP, skills, feats that fits inside your pocket :)

Normally you'd resist shapechaning you wizard familiar becuase it only has 1/2 wiz HP and would die pretty quickly, but with d10 HP its got the meat to backup the form.

Anyway just checking that works inside the rules

It's not a Familiar, It's an Animal Companion, so it doesn't follow the rules that Familiars do in terms of HP, it has its own HP Based on its HD and CON Score.
