Familiar Adjacent? Teamwork feat?


Rules Questions


If a familiar that is in same square as you is he considered "adjacent"? It seems on forums he is, but I don't see a 100% definite from a Paizo personnel. Want to make sure

It's not 100%, however it adjacent enemies are considered adjacent if they "are within 5 feet". By this definition, it works. My books aren't handy, but I believe its the CRB in the standard attack section.

Talk to your GM though. If you are using your familiar for combat feat / shenanigans, they are open season for the GM in combat though. I prefer to keep mine in its satchel where its safe...


Yea, Im not seeing it specifically in the Core Rule book but it makes sense. My situation is King Crab. Give +2 CMB. I get that even if he's in my back pack. I'm trying to determine if he has coordinated maneuvers and so do I, do I get the +2 bonus while he's still in my bag or hanging from my side or must he be on the floor beside me?

Expect variation. I use alertness even though my familiar isn't out for combat, but for teamwork feats I think the assumption is they are combatants and not in your bag.

RAI, your teammate is distracting the enemy making your cmb higher. Depending on size he might be able to share your square, but his involvement in combat means he's outside his bag. Use at (his) risk.


If he dies how do I get another one? LOL
