Arctic Familiar?

[Tarlek Flamehai]

I am sure I had seen an option (feat, ACF, trait, etc) that made your familiar an arctic one. You had to take a familiar that could be native to the arctic though. You could have an owl, but not a scorpion. Now I cannot remember the name of this rule and I cannot find it with google either. Can the playground help me, please?

Thanks!

It isn't an ACF per say, but Frostburn (AKA It's Cold Outside) has a list of familiars suitable for Arctic environments, I don't remember the list exactly, but there is stuff like Arctic Fox, Gyrofalcon, snow owls and similar.

The familiars you're looking for are in Frostburn, page 45.

Polimorph Any Object (x2)
Spell Sovereign (PrC from Dragon Magazine #357) with a Lesser Orb of Cold living spell familiar?

I personally think that PAO for a certain type of familiar is overkill, unless you use it to get something that usually can't be a familiar.... I still want a game where I can have a Displacer Beast familiar (sharing Displacer form is not enough >_<)

This reminds me that I forgot to suggest having a look at "Encyclopaedia arcane - Familiars". By the way, your Displacer Beast familiar should be available from 9th level onward.

EDIT: Or having a look at both Encyclopaedia arcane - Familiars AND Encyclopaedia arcane - Crossbreeding if you really want a (artic) familiar that doesn't even exist! Still, not everyone loves 3rd party books.
