Spectacles needed badly!

[Bill Schwartz]

Ayone seen any minatures of a female wearing spectacles or eye glasses? Does not matter if it was an old school figure (ala Ral Partha for example) or even a D&D mini (colored plastc).

Need one for a female spell-user with the typical smarty librian appearance.

On a side note, anyway to have a book as an Edilon or as an arcane bond?

Thanks in advance

Can't help with the miniature (I think I've seen one sort of like it, but I have no way of finding it), but I can say that I don't know of an first-party way of getting a non-standard object as an arcane bond. You CAN decide your eidolon looks like whatever you want it to, but it's kind of a stretch to say it looks like a book, given the abilities most eidolons have. (And, like, the limbs.)

What I'd do is just refluff. Either take a bat familiar and say it's an (animated) book, or take a wand, staff or light blunt weapon as a bonded item and say it's a book.

Make one. Find an image you like (or draw one), scan it, shrink it down, and print it on cardstock. Worried it'll get wet/ lost/ blow away? Print a whole sheet of them.

Don't give gaming ALL your money.

You can pay to have miniatures custom made. My brother used to take commissions from his site. He longer does, but others do provide the service.

make them yourself. beg or buy a tiny spring from a watch repair place. clip off 4 coils w/ a wire-cutter, straighten the coils on the ends for earpieces, then bend between the 2 center coils.

This will of course give you perfectly round glasses, you can compress the coils to ovals w/ pliers.

Use a tiny nip of glue or solder and you've got it.

I'm using this figure as a PC at the moment;

If you look hard you'll see she's holding a pair of glasses pushed back away from her face.

It's a great figure too.

Is going to be as close as you will find. The glasses do not work well with mini. They do not look good I have seen some. There just is not a good way to make them work in the format that I have seen. You end up with just a wire frame and a face, or they are filled in and have a flat surface that looks even worse.

Specs? Book familiar? Is this supposed to be a paper master? ;)

I'd say you could probably have an eidolon that is a bizarre, book-shaped creature. The hard part would be determining whether it's bipedal, quadruped, or serpentine.... (I'd say serpentine, supporting itself on a "tail" of pages). For a familiar, maybe a GM would allow an animated object as an advanced familiar if the feat's available?

As for spellcaster in specs, thirding Jolie. LOVE that figure. Made up a whole recurring NPC around that model.

Or crafting from wire as Chrobemaster suggests.
