So I was just considering some of the silly things a Baba Yaga witch could take for a familiar and thought what if I had a steel sheild as a familiar.
With 3 abilitus I could take Flight(who dosent want a flying aheild), Independent( 1 free action every round), and well anything else but speech or tough would likely take the slot.
Now this said could my sheild familiar that is (holding onto my arm) take a free action to drop me ie let go, then take it,s free action to raise itself?
It for sure couldn't sheild block but you wouldnt want it to. Would you get the +2 ac for raised sheild or no?
Regular sheild use does no damage to it so it shouldnt take damage for being used this way.
Final edit sorry typeing from phone so apologies for typos ect.

No.
With all of the listed assumptions in place (shield as a familiar, the listed abilities, etc) the end result would be a shield flying that was no longer part of your equipment and inventing a new action to "Raise Shield For Other Nearby Person". Having that work is homebrew that would absolutely require a GM stepping in to allow it, not a trick of RAW.
Thinking about it, The only issue I can find to prevent this is to stay flying the familiar has to use a move action and as it only has one extra action you would need another to "raise" it so no net gain. As a familiar it is still the object it was it just now has familiar stats. I just think it would be fun.
