Daivrat Zhyen Familiar


Rules Questions


The Diavrat Prestige class gains a Zhyen familiar at level 7 as an Improved Familiar.

In general all familiars grant a 'Special ability' to it's master.

For example a Toad gives it's master +3hp.

It seems to me they have left this out when writing up the prestige class?

Does anyone know what bonus a Zhyen would bestow on it's master to keep it in line with other Familiars.

Secondly, if not, what would people suggest?


None of improved familiar I recall at the moment grant bonus to their master like regular familiar, because they are already more powerful and have more abilities of their own, usually as spell-like abilities, poison, shapechanging, etc.

Improved familiar creatures (beyond becoming familiars who gain HD along with their masters and other abilities as listed in the familiar progression table) do not grant additional benefits like regular familiars to their masters, except for +2 to their Coolness ability score.

The lack of bonus is easily made up for all the cool abilities the familiar can so themselves.
