Familiars and Retraining

[Victor Zajic]

In PFS, can I pay the appropriate costs to have my familiar retrain it's feats? I guess this would apply to animal companions and eidolons too, and maybe even Stonelord earth elemental buddies.

[Victor Zajic]

what do you think that would include? just changing it to a different default familiar?

[Fomsie]

I don't believe there are any rules that cover retraining feats and such for companions of any sort, only for PCs.

You can pay 5pp (and the requisite gold) to retrain your Familiar class feature, and get a new Familiar.

But your Familiar itself cannot retrain.

Or just pay 200 gp to swap your current familiar for the new one. No need to retrain the class feature.

200gp times your spellcasting level, actually.

Considering that 2pp = 750 gp then 5pp = 1875 gp, so 5pp + 50gp/day (250gp) for retraining comes to 2125 gp value....unless someone is 11th level paying the gp cost seems cheaper.

I was just going by the FAQ, which now that I look at it seems to be at odds with what the book says.
