Howdy Folks,
Aside from multiclassing, is there anyway for a bard to get a familer? I remember under 3.5 there was a feat for arcane casters...but there doesn't seem to be anything under PF....
Eldritch Heritage with the Arcane Sorcerer Bloodline will get you a familiar.
That's about it, I think.
Thanks Azten,
Looks like its Half elf bard for the free skill focus and Eldritch Heritage.
Sea Singer archetype, from pathfinder advanced player guide (page 84). You can have a monkey or parrot, then you can take improved familiar feat.
