im playing a wizard in a pathfinder game and im not sure what to go with
i was thinking of eather a raven familar and having it take UMD so i have an extra spell per turn
the other is a staff for the benefits of the spell and the ability to make it in to a good item as i level
what one of these seems more worth it
im plan to take many item crafting feats if this makes a deference
please help
Both are good.
Bear in mind that you won't be able to use Arcane Bond to enchant your staff until you're level 11+ (since Craft Staff requires you to be level 11+). The main use of Arcane Bond is the free spell 1/day.
A UMDing familiar is always nice, too, but unless your DM allows custom items you'll have trouble getting to the +19 bonus that you need to reliably activate a wand until you're quite high level.
So either have their points, but they'll both take a while to get good.

i mainly was just going to use the raven to add spell i cant case at low level
and spell i dont have time to cast example
i cast shield he casts bark skin next turn i cast ray of frost he cast mage armor
so if that changes anything......
mainly im just wondering with scroll and such do i need the staff and with quicken spell on my lower level spells do i need the familiar? seeing as how it will only get lower level spells anyway?
