Learning Witch Spells: Familiar to Familiar


Advice


How would you deal with getting a Witch's familiar to "teach" it's spells to your familiar after you have just killed it's Master?


“If a familiar belongs to a witch that has died, it only retains its knowledge of spells for 24 hours, during which time it is possible to coerce or bribe the familiar into teaching its spells to another, subject to GM discretion.”

From there it’s up to you, and your DM of course.


Normally a familiar is supposed to be loyal to their masters. This is probably going to make convincing it to cooperate with it masters killer incredibly difficult. This will of course vary based on the nature of the familiar. I could see a quasit or an imp familiar being willing to bargain with its master's killer, but most would be hostile to you.

Just because the rules state a familiar can teach another familiar spells does not mean they are willing to do so.
