[PFS] Ways to give a School Familiar the Lookout feat


Rules Questions


So, I was toying around with a Foresight wizard build with the Familiar Adept archetype, and I got really excited when I saw the Valet familiar archetype. I thought, hey, this is awesome, my familiar can always act in the surprise round because of the Divination school lesser power, and Valet lets him have all my teamwork feats, so I can pick up Lookout and let myself always full-round in any surprise round.

Then I was looking at the School Familiar archetype (which is what the Familiar Adept automatically grants to your familiar), and I noticed that it says that a school familiar cannot have any other familiar archetype. This means that Valet is out, even if I go the Familiar Adept route, right?

Other than Valet, is there any other way as a pure Wizard build to give your familiar the Lookout feat that is PFS legal?


I don't know of any way a wizard's familiar can get feats with the exception of the illegal archetype Spirit Binder.

There are a couple of ways to let familiars act as if they had feats, but with a pure Wizard build those options become very limited.

I can't see any other way than spells or magic items which grants feat. The Ring of Tactical Precision is one such item.


A Horsemaster's Saddle could work, depending on the familiar.
