Familiar Implement?

For the playtest, we’re focusing on five implements, but

the final class will have a total of nine, thrice three.

So exactly four is hidden in playtest.

I found Familiar related feats in.

So, like Wizard's familiar attunment, if we have Familiar Implement, that familiar's ability count should be same with Witch's.

I think Familiars are probably going to stay just a Feat Chain, rather than an Implement. I think they do wind up on equal footing though, given the final feat gives it 6 abilities. A good 10 levels earlier than Witch gains its 6th ability at that. Heck, only 2 levels after Witch gains its fourth.

The five implements are Amulet, Chalice, Lantern, Wand, and Weapon

It's the first pure martial (I don't count alchemist) that gets a familiar and the only class besides witch that gets incredible familiar natively.

And it does nothing currently with that familiar that is worth anything that I can tell. You don't get any added utility out of a familiar without buying into another class for a spell list so you can grab a cantrip, or focus spells, or alchemy.

It is flavorful for the Thaumaturge to have access to a familiar, but right now to me it feels like wasted design space. If a new familiar ability that maybe grants additional "temporary" items, say Talismans, if you have a feature that grants them, that would make up for the lack of use for that familiar imo.

(Like alchemist's extra regents)
