two familiars?


Advice

Shadow Lodge

level 1 wizard... familiar_one (raven)
Level 2 arcane bloodbond sorcerer.... familiar_two (toad)
Allowed?

I say "yes", nasty GM says "no"
:o(


RAW: yes.
RAI: no.

Would you consider taking a Familiar plus an Animal Companion instead?

Shadow Lodge

What is RAW and what is RAI?
if that is the only alternative, i would happily settle for that.
Pourquoi?

Sovereign Court

"Rules as Written" and "Rules as Intended". And no, it's not allowed for either (beyond DM saying "Screw the Rules!")

Arcane Bond (Su): At 1st level, you gain an arcane bond, as a wizard equal to your sorcerer level. Your sorcerer levels stack with any wizard levels you possess when determining the powers of your familiar or bonded object. This ability does not allow you to have both a familiar and a bonded item. Once per day, your bond item allows you to cast any one of our spells known (unlike a wizard's bonded item, which allows him to cast any one spell in his spellbook).

I comprehend - Merci beacoup!

If the GM allows 3rd-party material, there is the Extra Familiar feat from Kobold Press' Advanced feats: The Witch's Brew


RAW you can only have 1 familiar with that combination. all levels of both classes stack for purposes of abilities of 1 familiar.

if you really like the idea of companions of some sort consider being a sylvan sorcerer who takes eldritch heritage feat for the familiar.

From Ultimate Equipment:

MIGRUS LOCKER
Price 10,000 gp; Aura moderate evocation; CL 6th; Weight 20 lbs.
This small locker is carved from fossilized wood and it is usually found chained and sealed. When the locker is unsealed and opened, the migrus—a desiccated hairless cat with a humanoid face—is found within. After a few moments the migrus animates and begins to clean itself, and its face begins to take the appearance of the creature who opened the migrus locker. The migrus considers the last creature to release it from the locker is its master.

The migrus moves in a strange jerky motion. It obeys simple verbal commands from its master. The migrus takes a very literal and brutal approach to problem solving and is fond of taking trophies. If the migrus is slain, it decays messily overnight in a glistening slick of putrid fluid. At the next dawn, the migrus reconstitutes within its locker (if the locker is opened before dawn, the partially-reconstituted migrus is visible inside, consuming the remnants of its former body.

The migrus has attributes of a cat familiar (Bestiary 131) except it has the construct type. The migrus always does its best to return to its master and cannot be permanently destroyed by normal means. If the locker is destroyed (hardness 5, 10 hp), the migrus is destroyed, no matter the distance to the locker.

CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS
Cost 5,000 gp
Craft Wondrous Item, reincarnate or stone to flesh

Also note that you can have both an animal companion (eidolon, mount, etc.) through a class feature (mounted fury barbarian, cavalier, Animal domain cleric, druid, paladin, ranger, Sylvan wildblooded sorcerer, summoner, etc.) and a familiar through the Eldritch Heritage (Arcane bloodline) feat by RAW.

yeah but mounts and ACs and familiars are all apples, oranges, and bananas.
