Improved Familiar: Contradictory Alignment Statements


Rules Questions

Shadow Lodge

So Improved Familiar says "You may choose a familiar with an alignment up to one step away on each alignment axis (lawful through chaotic, good through evil)."

Then there are a bunch of familiars where in their description it says "blah blah only Lawful Neutral Characters", or some such nonsense. Does that trump the one step away thing, or does the one step away thing trump it? I looked through the forums but never found any sort of definitive answer. Assuming that the specific alignment does trump the actual Feat, it appears that LG characters get the shaft since anything they can get seems to....kinda suck. :-/


Specific trumps general. If Leeboloboo the LN dog monster only serves LN masters, then that is all it serves.
