Alright, I've got two questions, the second of which is PFS-specific.
First question: Can a Carnivalist Rogue take the Improved Familiar feat?
From the Animal Archive:
Quote:
Familiar
At 1st level, a carnivalist gains a familiar as a wizard of equal level. Levels in a class that grants a familiar stack with carnivalist levels for determining the familiar's abilities.
So, my question here would be: does the "as a wizard of equal level" translate over to function as an "arcane spellcaster level" (note that it says "arcane spellcaster level", not "caster level", which implies, to me, that they are referring to class levels) for the purposes of the Improved Familiar feat?

The second question, directly related (and dependent on the first) is:
Spoiler:
Can a seventh level carnivalist with Improved familiar take Riddlewipple as a familiar?

Faerie Dragon Improved Familiar: A caster of at least 7th level with an alignment within one step of chaotic good may bond with the faerie dragon Riddywipple using the Improved Familiar feat. If you make this bond with the creature, you must provide a copy of the Pathfinder RPG Bestiary 3 as if the improved familiar were available as an Additional Resource.
Basically, this question is very similar to the question above: does the "as a wizard of equal level" count for the requirements here?
Essentially, I've been considering a carnivalist rogue with a pilferer familiar, and a certain Improved Familiar option amuses me too much to NOT go for.
Yes, the first one would probably be better in the Rules Questions forum, but it's the second one that actually matters, and I wouldn't mind some official clarification on it...
If you took the other rogue feat that gave you spells I think you are able too. I saw someone once say they made a rogue build that pretended to be an arcane caster and used wands with a fairey dragon.
