Find Familiar

Time: Quick Action Target: An open location in Shooting Distance(16u)
Requirements: #Chants, #Motions
Effect: Summon

Flavors:

• Chose a True Name for your Familiar.
• Choose up to 4 creatures with the "Trivial" Creature Tag (such as the Bat, Bird, Cat, octopus, poisonous snake, Rat, spider, or Toad.) Also choose 1 Upgrade from each. Your choice determines what forms your Familiar can take.

Summon your Familiar at the target location. Casting this spell again allows you to choose a new form for your Familiar from your available Flavors. If the Familiar drops to 0 hit points, it disappears, leaving behind no physical form and cannot be re-summoned with this Ability for 1 hour. When you dismiss your Familiar or it dies, it will retain its memory and knowledge the next time it's summoned.

Your Familiar can take the form of any creature you chose as a Flavor. You can also give the Upgrade chosen as a Flavor. Your Familiar can always understand any Languages you know, though it's limited to speaking the Languages of its chosen form.

In an Encounter, your Familiar has one Beat and takes its Turn during your Turn.

When you cast a Swinging Distance(1u) Spell Ability within Shooting Distance(16u) of your Familiar, your Familiar can spend a Beat to channel the spell, allowing you to use the Ability as if you were standing where your Familiar was.

You can dismiss your Familiar as a Free Action.

If you do not have the Telepathy Spell, you also gain modified version of Telepathy that can only target you and your Familiar. When just you and your Familiar are a part of a Telepathic Network, the Telepathy Spell does not require Concentration.

  • When summoning your Familiar, you can increase one of its Exploration Stats by 1 (along with each related Exploration Skill.)
