Wizard Familiar

[clparis]

I don't play wizards to often (I only have one) and I am looking at feats for level 5. One of the feats I was considering was Improved Familiar. While looking over the list I was interested in the Pseudodragon, however when I looked it up in the Bestiary I got the wrong book and found Dragon, Faerie which would work better with my character. Which leads to my questions,

1. Is the Faerie Dragon legal for PFS?
2. If not, I currently have a Hawk Familiar can a take the Improved Familiar and get a Celestial Hawk even if I am level 5?

I believe the answer to both of your questions are yes.

Actually I am fairly sure it is NOT legal.

I will go check

Animal Companions (p. 311): antelope, archelon, axe beak, baluchitherium, basilosaurus, dimetrodon, elk, giant chameleon, giant gecko, giant vulture, iguanodon, kangaroo, megalania, pachycephalosaurus, spinosaurus,
thylacine; Feats: none of the feats are legal for play for PCs, animal
companions, or familiars unless specifically granted by another legal
source; Other: all creatures in this book are legal for polymorph effects (including a druid’s wild shape ability) within the boundaries of each spell or ability’s parameters.

As you can see, no mention of the familiars being legal.

Sucks as the Best 3 has some cool ones.

heh, well then......

Wow, well that changes things a bit then.

Thanks for the catch.

Faerie Dragons are not currently legal. The FAQ you quoted is accurate and faerie dragons do not appear on pages 112-113. They appear on page 91.

[Thefurmonger]

Man, I am just full of fail.....

This is a good reason to actually walk my ass over to the bookshelf and see what page stuff is on.

[graywulfe]

Yeah I guess I should have looked at what was on those pages also.. I just wanted people to be aware that the quote was no longer the most recent version.

[LazarX]

Keep in mind also that pseudo dragons require caster level 7. I assume these wee beasties would be the same.

[CRobledo]

Hm, I was looking at the wrong thing for Faerie Dragons. Apologies.
