Witch and The Familiar Fox

So I read that the familiar teaches and guides the witch. Does this mean they can talk or something?


No, not till later levels. And even then, it can only talk to the witch not to others.

Speak with Master (Ex)

If the master is 5th level or higher, a familiar and the master can communicate verbally as if they were using a common language. Other creatures do not understand the communication without magical help.

How to role play "guiding" is up to you. Reading through the entry though, I will note I didn't see anything about teaching, though I could have missed it.

Think of the familiar as a "spirit guide".

Sovereign Court

Though if it's a cat, I could see having it constantly scolding you for not gather all of the other Sailor Scouts.


What you read was flavor. Part of the atmosphere of the class. If it's vague and doesn't say how, when, or how much, or restrictions, it isn't a mechanic. Those are thoroughly explained. Like when you read a feat and it's summarized at the top.
