Can a familiar load a firearm? What kind of action would it be to hand a firearm to your familiar?


Unless you are dropping it, probably a move action.

Can you drop it into your familiar's hands?


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Anything that has the appropriate limbs can load a firearm. If your familiar doesn't have Exotic Weapon Proficiency (firearms), then the misfire chance will increase if you have it load your firearm for you.

One of you will have to spend a move action when you hand the gun off. Either you spend a move to hand it properly to the familiar, or you drop it as a free action and the familiar picks it up as a move.

So, you have to drop it on the ground? Dropping it the familiar's hands is not an option?


"Dropping" something on someone/thing's hand is mechanically the same as handing it over. You can't hand over things for free (No action cost).

Can the familiar load it while I hold it?
