Familiar question - rule decision request

[Sargonoth]

Is it the intent of the game developers that a character is limited to a single familiar at any one time (regardless of how many different classes they may possess) or can they have more than one (1) familiar at the same time?

I can make arguments about how class abilities are different or the same. I can also make arguments that serpentfriend is called something different and thus even though it is treated like a familiar, it is not called a familiar.

I am hoping that the developer's may have already stated that their INTENT was either to restrict characters to a single familiar or allow multiple familiars.

No you cannot have multiple familiars. You can only ever have one as stated in the base rules for familiars

Levels of different classes that are entitled to familiars stack for the purpose of determining any familiar abilities that depend on the master's level.

No matter how many classes you have that grant you a familiar all the levels stack together to determine the abilities of that familiar.
