I have a few questions about the witch's familar. Im about to start up a character. It was going to be a changling witch that , in early levels , takes the improved familiar feat for a imp.
Fluff wise I wanted her to start learning magic from the new imp and have her alignment start to suffer for it ( not going to L/E like imp but getting close to it ).
Anyway , question time.
1. Can I even take improved familiar as a witch?
2. If I can , Would I lose all on my spells when I change over?
3. Does the witch familairs follow the wizards table?
4. how does improved familiar interact with it?
Thank you in advance.
Edit - 5. Would I choose a new patron with a new familiar?
1. Yes.
2. Probably talk to your GM. I've had a familiar 'evolve' into the improved form before (cat to celestial cat to silvanshee). If the GM allows such things then you might get to save your spells. Otherwise Probably will lose them.
3. You use this Table.
4. What do you mean?
5. No.

Thank you for the responce. for #4 I mean the imp has higher int then the table for a wizards familiar. Do I use the table or its natural scores. If I have to lose all my spells I'll probably just scrap the idea. Fluff isnt worth losing all my spells.
4) If you're asking if improved familiars get a benefit if within 1-mile from each other (like +3 spot, or +2 Reflex, etc), then the answer would be: No, the improved familiar doesn't grant extra features to the master. The improved familiar is awesome already on it's own.
EDIT: Currently as written, the improved familiar would use the table's Int score. Talk to DM. A lot of ppl houserule that if familiar's Int is higher, it gets to keep it. It was that way back in 3.5 but Pathfinder doesn't have that clause. No one's sure if that's on purpose or mistake yet.
Ask your DM if the improved familiar would lose spells when you first obtain it.
How do you think a PFS GM would rule it?

I would think that 90% of GMs would not care one bit how much Int your familiar has one way or the other.
