I would like to make a cleric (who is disguised as a wizard using Hidden Priest archetype) that has a familiar. It looks like this might be accomplished by taking the Eldritch Heritage feat.
My question is: would the Cleric be able to use this power of the familiar: "Deliver Touch Spells (Su): If the master is 3rd level or higher, a familiar can deliver touch spells for him. If the master and the familiar are in contact at the time the master casts a touch spell, he can designate his familiar as the “toucher.” The familiar can then deliver the touch spell just as the master would. As usual, if the master casts another spell before the touch is delivered, the touch spell dissipates."?
Also, since Eldritch Heritage says "For purposes of using that power, treat your sorcerer level as equal to your character level – 2, even if you have levels in sorcerer. You do not gain any of the other bloodline abilities." would that power not be useable until level 5?
Alternatively, is there a better or cheaper way for a cleric to approximate a familiar perhaps through a pet or animal companion?
Thanks in advance.
I'm relatively certain you can use all the powers in the familiar section at cl -2.
If you just want to approximate a familiar train a bird to sit on your shoulder.
