Acquiring a Familiar

[Tamago]

I recently played a particular adventure

Spoiler:

The Sanos Abduction

, which grants a particular Improved Familiar.

I'd really like to take advantage of this opportunity, as I think it would fit really well with my character. However, my character is currently a Sorcerer with the Fey bloodline, so she doesn't have a familiar right now.

Is there a way for my character to gain a familiar at this point? Unfortunately, the character is 3rd level, so I can't just retrain to the Arcane bloodline. Are there any feats or the like that could allow me to acquire a familiar at this point?

Thanks!

Eldritch heritage with arcane bloodline. Select the familiar as your arcane bond option.

To do what Lordzum suggests, you first need Skill Focus in a Knowledge. If you've already got that for whatever reason, then you're very ahead.

Next you need Eldritch Heritage, which can give you the arcane bloodline at your level -2. This will set you up to take said boon familiar at level 9.

The progression you need goes:

1 X
2 X
3 X YOU ARE HERE! :)
4
5 Skill Focus: Knowledge (Whateva)
6
7 Eldritch Heritage
8
9 Improved Familiar!!!

Create a new character that could use the familiar, GM the adventure that you just played and assign the chronicle to that character. Ta-Da. Bob's your uncle and all that.

Edit: That's what I did, anyway.

I did that to, or will do that as soon as I have a chance to GM the scenario. I only just got my new character (a kitsune arcane sorcerer) up to level 3 to where I could apply the chronicle sheet anyway. I'm okay waiting until he's level 6 to I can get the higher tier rewards though.

Took me two months to do this. Even worse was I prepped it 2 months ago and ran it yesterday. I even drew the maps out, but I didn't have them.

Sure, there was run online, but it looked complicated (and I didn't feel up to recreating maps in Roll20.)
