Getting more feats on a familiar

[doomman47]

I'm looking for a way to either add a creature type to my familiar or a way to give it a combat feat while ignoring the prerequisites while not needing any additional levels in another class as I have none to spare.

What do you mean by "add a creature type"?

Giving feats to your familiar is very rare and only available to a handful of archetypes, so it can't currently be done without dipping.

I know you said not to dip levels but if you take a two level dip in Eldritch Guardian(Fighter) your familiar gets any and all combat feats that you have while ignoring pre-reqs.

The familiar archetype valet makes it so that your familiar is considered to have every item creation and team work feat that you possess.

The familiar archetype figment familiar can get the 2 point evolution which grants a bonus feat, but it must meet all of the feat's pre-reqs.

As for creature types.

The feat Improved familiar lets you swap out your familiar for a variety of different creatures (but improved familiars can't get archetypes).
The feat Celestial Servant will give your familiar the celestial template.
The feat Victory Through Unity gives your familiar an animal aspect as per the hunter ability.

You can gain specific kinds of familiars via Aberrant Tumor, Vampiric Companion, Wasp Familiar, Poppet Familiar, Companion Figurine, Personal Chronicler and Hand's detachment.

Otherwise I'm not aware of a way to do what you're looking for.

Both of those figment familiar evolutions require “twinned eidolon”, which is hard to get a familiar to meet.

The Eldritch Guardian Fighter Archetype gives you exactly what you are asking for.

as for adding creture type
aasiamrs can take celestial servant to give familiers\companion etc the celestial template.

btw.
if your human or count as such for feats (being half elf\orc etc). then planer heritage (aasimar) should enable you to pick aasimar feats like the one above.

Both?

I only remember listing one.

Strictly speaking it states that you can apply an evolution so long as it doesn't have a base form requirement. That being said, it doesn't state if other requirements can be ignored nor does it state that they have to be met. So, it's probably a GM call since I could see it interpreted either way.

If requirements have to be met it means even basic evolutions like bite and claws couldn't be taken since the familiar wouldn't meet the pre-reqs for those either.

Depending on what feat you're after it may be possible to give the familiar something like it without having to give it an actual feat. Magic weapon properties or other magic items and spells can do a lot.

By add creature type I mean I have this familiar and its a magical beast I want it to count as magical beast and dragon, magical beast and elemental or magical beast and human allowing them to take feats that require them to have such a typing. That or get them the ability to bypass prerequisites with out needing me to take levels into something like eldritch guardian or beast bound witch, because I cant I simply don't have enough levels to do so.
