Sage's Knowledge:
"...and is happy to lecture its master on the finer points of a subject."
If verbal communication isn't possible, even with the Empathic Link ability, at 1st level, then what's the point of this ability? Does this imply that some level of verbal communication is possible, at least between Master and Familiar? Or is this useless until 5th?
My heart is already set on a Fox familiar, for the character concept, so I won't be taking Raven/Parrot/Thrush for the speech capabilities.
Thanks.
EDIT: misquoted the levels for Empathic Link and Speak with Master
You could get a wand of speak with animals. The familiar should also be capable of writing if you have the time for that. Or you could set up other systems of communication like tail wag for yes and head shake for no.
That's assuming I'm able to find a wand, or craft one early enough. And while body language might work for most concepts, it doesn't really answer the question. Thanks for the insight though.
You can have a raven or a thrush as a familiar, or you can begin play with the Spark of the Uncanny feat.
That feat would be even more necessary for a familiar with the Ambassador archetype.

Ah, that's perfect! Thanks.
