Maximum Minions?

[Mellored]

Is there a maximum number of minions (familiar, pet, summons)?

[Blave]

Not to my knowledge.

Four in the minion rituals.

CRB ritual spells or maybe in the trait in the glossary.

I see it under animate object.

But that looks like a specific spell, not a general rule.

[Xenocrat]

I think it is specific to created minions.

It would seem no hard limit, but based on the beast master archetype you would only be able to have one active in a fight.

The beast master archetype doesn't establish some kind of general rule that would limit minions active in a fight. The necessity of commanding minions creates a practical limit, but not an absolute one.

There is no general limit that I'm aware of (though, as has been stated, there are a few specific ones floating about).

And that's fine. You only get three actions in a round anyways, so even if you had say, four minions (2 summons, a familiar, and an animal companion), you could only do so much with them anyways.

There is no cap that I'm aware of, but there is the practical cap of "Your minions don't do anything unless directly commanded" and only having 3 actions per turn limits what you can do. Especially if you'd like you character to do anything.

There is a sidebar added for the Cleric's Command Undead class feat on page 123 that specifically limits undead minions to four.

I don't see a rule limited all minions, but there are the rules within the individual rituals mentioned above that seem to suggest a general limit of four without explicitly stating it.

As for Animal Companions, you are limited to one unless you are a Beast Master.

You cannot have more than one Bonded Animal as per the Bonded Animal feat, which also does not allow both an Animal Companion and Bonded Animal at the same time; but you can have a Bonded Animal (or Animal Companion) and a Familiar at the same time:

Bonding with a new animal ends any previous bond you had. You can’t have both a bonded animal and an animal companion (though you can have both a bonded animal and a familiar).

Hi, i have a lot of questions?

If you have a Animated Broom, a Animated Statue, a Animated Cookplace and a Animated Dog Statue, guarding your house, then you go to adventure, gain a level, pick Animal Companion Feat, then Summon a Djinn in combat (total 6 minions), does your Broom stop the work? Do you can summon anybody? If you find a Lion Figurine, is good not actived the statue, or more minions go away?

Sorry my english, and the joke, but, thats a serious question
