Figment Familiar and Coller of Sacrifice - Is it good?

[Cevah]

I recently came across the Collar of Sacrifice, and wondered how well it work if you have a Figment Familiar.

As I see it, instead of you dying, your familiar dies. However, since it is back the next morning, it seems like a good way to avoid dying.

Thoughts? Is the dream alive enough for the collar?

The collar calls out familiars without a physical life force as not working with it. Does your dream has a physical life force? I'd say no, or at least not one separate from your own, but YMMV.

I'm not sure that losing the cooperation of your familiar would be a good thing anyway. It looks like it's a set up for some plot where the familiar betrays its master.

Well, it has hit points, and is not a called out as not acceptable by the collar.

Q: If it does not count as living, then how do you cure it? CLW only works on living things.

Figments are born from their masters’ imaginations rather than being ordinary creatures that are awakened.

EDIT: The archetype does not change the creature's type, and potentially can stack with other archetypes.

Looks legit--and horrific. I can so see an NPC wizard doing this and slowly killing their own ability to dream and imagine.

My question is, can those familiar even use items? (given that they act effectively like eidolons)

(Eidolons and their rules are weird and confusing)

[blahpers]

Sure. They're still familiars, not eidolons.
