WARNING SPOILERS FOR 8-01 PORTENTS PERIL, PLEASE DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU ARE OKAY WITH A BIT OF SPOILERS!!!!!!
Okay so I am running this game this Saturday and I want to apply this credit to my magus. In the chronicle sheet you gain this one boon that lets you take a psedodragon as a familiar. I will copy it here, omitting certain parts to reduce how spoiler filled this is, just so y'all have all the info from it:
Draconic Sidekick:
As long as you do not mistreat your new ally and your alignment does not become evil at any time, she agrees to travel with you. You may use this boon in one of two ways. First, you may take a pseudodragon (Pathfinder RPG Bestiary 229) as a familiar with the Improved Familiar feat as long as you are a spellcaster of at least 5th level (rather than 7th). This pseudodragon’s sting counts as silver for the purposes of bypassing damage reduction.
Alternatively. you may cross this boon off your chronicle sheet to gain a pseudodragon that follows you loyally for one adventure. Its sting also bypasses DR/silver, as the pseudodragon familiar. This pseudodragon allows you to bypass the normal limit of one combat creature per player per scenario.
Now my character is 5th level, and after this game it will be 6th level and as a magus is a spellcaster. Also he is CN which is not the normal alignment needed for this sort of familiar. So I just want to make sure that I can properly apply this to my magus. I really want him to have this awesome little magic friend. Also, does he need to take the Familiar magus arcana or does the way the boon is worded just make it unnecessary? Anyway, I have never really built a familiar before and could also use help doing that as well. Here is what I have so far:
Character level 6
Pseudodragon
NG Tiny dragon
Init +2; Senses blindsense 60 ft., darkvision 60 ft., low-light vision; Perception ?
DEFENSE
AC 19, touch 14, flat-footed 17 (+2 Dex, +2 natural +3 more, +2 size)
hp Half the Magus' hit points (6 hit dice)
Fort +6, Ref +4, Will +6
Immune paralysis, sleep; SR 12
OFFENSE
Speed 15 ft., fly 60 ft. (good)
Melee sting +8 (1d3–2 plus poison), bite +8 (1d2–2)
Space 2-1/2 ft.; Reach 0 ft. (5 ft. with tail)
STATISTICS
Str 7, Dex 15, Con 13, Int 8, Wis 12, Cha 10
Base Atk +4; CMB +2; CMD 10 (14 vs. trip)
Feats Weapon Finesse, Alertness, (any more feats ?)
Skills ?
Stealth (improves to +8 in forests)
Languages Draconic; telepathy (60 ft.)
SPECIAL ABILITIES
Improved Evasion (Ex)
Share Spells
Empathic Link (Su)
Deliver Touch Spells (Su)
Speak with Master (Ex)
Poison (Ex)
Sting—injury; save Fort DC 14; frequency 1/minute for 10 minutes; effect sleep for 1 minute; cure 1 save. The save DC is Constitution-based and includes a +2 racial bonus.
So yeah I am not sure how to do the skills and if it gets any other feats. But everything else I think is right. If I have most of it right that is cool, just some advice would be cool.

Hey Dellren!
Normally, if you are granted access to a familiar on a chronicle sheet, you have to be able to legally take the familiar. According to the boon, there are two requirements:
1) You are not evil. (That one should be easy, as PFS characters are not allowed to have an evil alignment.)
2) You are a spellcaster (or have similar access to a familiar via an archetype) of at least 5th level with the improved familiar Feat. In order to take the improved familiar Feat, you have to have a familiar.
That being said, the easiest way to get a familiar would be through the Magus Arcana! So at 7th level, you should be able to get the improved familiar Feat, and be able to take the little dragon buddy!
I hope this helped!
