New Feats
Chimeric Familiar:
Your call melded two beings into one, creating an unspeakable monstrosity which serves your will.
Prerequisites: You must be able to summon a familiar.
Benefit: When you summon a familiar you may pay 200 GP instead of 100 GP to summon 2 familiars at once. These familiars are fused into one being. This creature uses the better hit dice of the two base creatures, the better natural armor, the better speed for each type of movement either possesses, it uses the type of your choice between the two (becoming a magical beast if it was an animal) unless one is undead or a construct in which case it must have that type, it gains all subtypes of either creature but if only one of the two had the aquatic subtype it instead gains the amphibious subtype. For each ability score it uses the better of the two creatures'. It has all natural weapons of either base creature, if both possessed a certain natural weapon (such as bite) it takes the better, if one had "claws" or "talons" as a single natural weapon and the other has 2 claw natural weapons use the two natural weapons. For each skill it possesses the higher number of ranks between the two creatures. It gains all feats of both base creatures, as well as all special attacks and abilities. It uses the larger size of both base creatures. Finally you gain the familiar benefits (if any) for both types of familiar.
Companion Bloodhunt [General]
You are skilled at fighting in a vicious pack with your bestial companion, striking to the best effect when fighting alongside it.
Prerequisites: 1 Tiger Claw stance, and Animal Companion, Familiar, or Wild Cohort.
Benefit: While in a Tiger Claw stance if you and your animal companion, familiar, or wild cohort both threaten the same creature you gain a +1 bonus to melee attacks and damage against that creature. If you flank a creature with your animal companion, familiar, or wild cohort you both deal +1d6 damage against that creature.
Familiar Skill Focus [General]
You gain increased benefits from your familiar.
Prerequisites: Ability to summon a familiar.
Benefit: If your familiar grants a bonus to a skill you gain an additional +3 bonus to that skill. If it does not you gain a +3 bonus to Concentration.
Special: This counts as Skill Focus in the affected skill for the purposes of prerequisites.
Familiar Spaceswap
You are able to swap your spatial position with that of your familiar.
Prerequisites: Ability to cast a 4th level or higher Conjuration (Teleportation) spell, a familiar.
Benefit: As a standard action you and your familiar may switch positions as long as you are on the same plane. This is a teleportation effect.
Familiar Spell Knowledge:
You have stored extra magical knowledge within the shard of your soul that resides within your familiar, and it is returned with interest when you two are together.
Prerequisites: Ability to summon a familiar, ability to cast 1st level arcane spells.
Benefit: For each arcane spell casting class you possess select one spell known from its spell list for each level of spell you may cast except the highest. Whenever you gain a new spell level you may select an additional spell. These spells are only considered to be among your spells known when you are in physical contact with your familiar. If you prepare arcane spells you must be in contact with your familiar to prepare these spells but do not need your spellbook.
Familiar Spell Power
You have invested greater magical power in the bond between you and your familiar letting it resonate
Prerequisites: Ability to summon a familiar, Spell Focus.
Benefit: As long as your Spell Focus feat matches the school associated with your familiar as listed below you gain the benefit described for that familiar when your is within 100 ft of you. Each familiar either has an additional bonus if you have the feat Greater Spell Focus in the same school, or grants a different benefit from Spell Focus in each of two schools. Whenever an associated ability references your level it is your effective sorcerer/wizard level for the purposes of your familiar's abilities. Whenever this feat's benefit applies a bonus to you it applies equally to your familiar.
In addition you do not suffer XP loss for the death of your familiar and may summon a new one during the next full or new moon (or after 14 days if on a plane without a lunar cycle).
Bat: Necromancy. Whenever you cast a necromancy spell a wave of dark energy spills forth. Creatures within 5 ft of you per level which are currently suffering from a fear effect suffer a -1 to AC and all d20 rolls for 1 round. This is in addition to the effects of fear. If you have Greater Spell Focus (necromancy) mind-affecting spells with the [Fear] descriptor may affect creatures normally immune to mind-affecting effects but they gain a +5 bonus to their save; this does nothing to creatures specifically immune to Fear (such as a paladin).
Cat: Illusion. You may cast spells with verbal components more silently. Your hushed verbal components are only as loud as a whisper requiring a DC 15 Listen check to hear and requiring a DC 25 to make out clearly enough to identify the spell from them. In addition you may make a single attack when invisible without breaking an invisibility effect which is broken when you attack; this is 1 attack per effect not per round. If you have Greater Spell Focus (Illusion) whenever you cast an Illusion spell you turn invisible until the end of your turn.
Hawk: Evocation. Your instantaneous evocation spells deal +1 damage to targets per 10 ft away from you they are; this damage is only applied to a single target once per spell no matter how many times it strikes. If you have Greater Spell Focus (Evocation) the range of all Evocation spells you cast is doubled.
Lizard: Conjuration. Whenever you take damage you may teleport 5 ft per level as an immediate action. If you have Greater Spell Focus (Conjuration) this increases to 20 ft per level.

Rat: Abjuration. Whenever you cast an Abjuration spell you gain temp hp equal to your level for 1 round. If you have Greater Spell Focus (Abjuration) you also gain a bonus to AC and DR equal to the spell level of any Abjuration spell you cast for 1 round (this is DR X/-).
Raven: Necromancy. Whenever you cast a Necromancy spell you may release a pulse of energy which is either harmful to undead and deathless or which restores life to the undead. If you choose to release a harmful pulse undead and deathless creatures within 5 ft per level take 3 damage per level of the cast spell. If you choose to release a restorative pulse undead creatures, and other creatures healed by negative energy (but not deathless), are healed 2 damage per level of the cast spell. If you have Greater Spell Focus (Necromancy) you may expend a 3rd level or higher spell slot to Rebuke/Command Undead as an evil cleric of your level.
Snake: Enchantment. Your spellcasting is hypnotic. Creatures that can see you must make a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 level + Cha modifier +2 if you are casting an Enchantment spell) to attack you while you are casting a spell (this affects attacks of opportunity as well as readied actions), this is a mind-affecting effect. If you have Greater Spell Focus (Enchantment) whenever you cast an Enchantment spell you gain a bonus equal to its level for 1 minute on Charisma based checks against any creature that saw you cast it.
Toad: Transmutation. Whenever you cast a Transmutation spell you gain a swim speed equal to your land speed for 1 minute per spell level, and a bonus to Jump checks equal to your level for the same duration.

Horned Lizard: Abjuration. When you cast an Abjuration spell you gain a bonus to Will saves equal to its spell level for 1 round plus 1 round per 4 levels.

Albatross: Transmutation. Transmutation spells you cast have their duration on you and your familiar doubled (if a spell targets both you and someone else the doubling only benefits you). If you have Greater Spell Focus (Transmutation) this benefit applies to any spell regardless of school.
Eel: Evocation or Necromancy. If you have Spell Focus (Evocation) whenever you cast an area spell you may choose to reduce the area to 1/2 normal to give all targets a -2 on any saving throw made to resist it and gain +1 damage per die. If you have Spell Focus (Necromancy) whenever a spell you cast deals damage to a target equal to 1/2 their current hp they are staggered for 1 round and are able to take only 1 non-free action that round.
Fish Owl: Divination or Conjuration. If you have Spell Focus (Divination) whenever you cast a spell you gain Blindsense 5 ft + 5 ft/2 levels for 1 round. If you have Spell Focus (Conjuration) creatures you summon with a swim speed gain a fly speed equal to their swim speed with good maneuverability and the ability to breathe air as easily as if it were water (this does not stop things that can't breathe water from breathing air if they already could).
Octopus: Enchantment. Whenever you cast an Enchantment spell the target is plagued by hallucinations suffering a -2 to attacks, AC, skill and ability checks for 1 round whether they succeed or fail their save; you may choose to have this ability not affect a creature that fails its save when you cast the spell. If you have Greater Spell Focus (Enchantment) you may communicate telepathically with any creature that has failed a Will save against an Enchantment spell you cast within the last 24 hours at a range of 100 ft per level, and whenever you cast an Enchantment spell you may choose to include a message of up to 25 words or an image which will appear to hte creature in their dreams the next time they sleep whether they failed their save or not.

Sea Snake Transmutation. Whenever you cast a 1st level or higher transmutation spell you may choose to change your appearance as if with the Thousand Faces (druid) ability instead of have the spell's normal effect; this has a duration of permanent until dismissed but is considered a spell effect and therefore radiates magic and can be dispelled. If you have Greater Spell Focus (Transmutation) you gain +2 to Strength and Constitution as long as you are not in your natural form.
Artic Fox: Illusion. Whenever you cast an Illusion spell you can expend a 0 level spell slot to cast Ghost Sound as part of casting the other spell.

Gyrfalcon: Evocation. When you cast a spell which deals Cold damage the target's cold resistance is treated as being reduced by your level.

Puffin: Transmutation. Whenever you cast a spell you may change the direction of the wind or water current within 30 ft of you for 1 minute per spell level, this has no effect on the intensity merely the direction, the new direction is chosen when you cast the spell and the area moves with you (and your familiar). If you have Greater Spell Focus (Transmutation) you may also halve the speed of the current or increase it by 50%, like the direction this is chosen when you cast the spell.
Snowy Owl: Divination or Conjuration. If you have Spell Focus (Divination) whenever you cast a spell you can ignore inclement weather and all forms of magical fog for the purposes of sight for 1 round or 1 minute if it was a Divination spell.

Alternatively you may apply one of the following templates to an applicable normal or Improved Familiar; if you select an Improved Familiar the minimum caster level to call the familiar increases by the number in parentheses. You must abide by any alignment restrictions (the resulting creature must be within 1 step of your alignment), and any spell-like abilities granted by the template are granted at the creature's hit dice without being a familiar.
The applicable templates are: Ghost (+6), Ghost BruteLM (+4), Half-Celestial (+4), Half-Dragon (+2), Half-FarspawnToM (+4), Half-Fiend (+4), ShadowToM (+4).
Special: If you have the Chimeric Familiar feat only one of your familiar's two halves may be selected from this list or have one of its templates.
Metamorphic Familiar:
Your mastery of transmutation, coupled with your control over your familiar's very being allows you to twist and shape it to your needs.
Prerequisites: Ability to summon a familiar, arcane caster level 5+ or Shapechanger subtype, and Spell Focus (Transmutation) or Transmuter level 1+.
Benefit: Your familiar gains the Shapechanger subtype. Once per day you may perform a 1 minute ritual to change your familiar into any other type of creature you could call as a familiar. For all extents and purposes it is the new creature and you gain familiar benefits as if it were the new creature. If the new familiar has spell-like abilities it cannot use them for 1 hour.
Phantasmal Companion:
You are able to make your companion beast desynchronize from the world becoming out of phase with it, or returning it to faze.
Prerequisites: Character level 7+, ability to call a familiar, animal companion, special mount, animal pal, or similar creature, ability to cast 2nd level spells.
Benefit: You may expend a 2nd level spell to cause your companion creature to become incorporeal. This last indefinitely. Bringing your companion back into phase requires you to expend another 2nd level spell.
Possess Familiar
Your soul retreats into your familiar upon your death allowing your body to reform with time.
Prerequisites: Ability to summon a familiar, arcane caster level 9+.
Benefit: When you die your soul and mind move to enter your familiar as long as it is within 1 mile. In effect you enter its body gaining its hit points and physical (and supernatural) traits; you do not gain access to any spell-like abilities it may possess. You may speak while in your familiar's body this way but may not perform somatic components unless it was already capable of doing so. If your body is intact you may return your soul to it by an 8 hour ritual which requires you to touch it. Otherwise you may reform your body by performing a ritual which takes 8 hours a day each day for a week. Either way you are revived at 1 hit point. You suffer a -1 penalty to all mental ability scores for each day you have existed within your familiar's body; if any ability score is reduced to 0 by this penalty your soul departs and you die; this penalty resets if you have not been in your familiar's body for at least 1 month. If your familiar dies while you occupy its body you die.
Special: The act of switching and the ritual are supernatural abilities; if you are in your familiar you do not suffer any special penalty from anti-magic fields however.
Share Feats:
You are able to share your feats along the mystic bond with your familiar.
Prerequisites: Ability to summon a familiar.
Benefit: Your familiar gains the benefits of any feats you possess as long as it is within 1 mile of you. Some feats will be useless on your familiar this way (Metamagic for example). Your familiar cannot attract followers, cohorts, familiars, wild cohorts, or other bonded creature regardless of what feats you possess. If a feat allows you to add one level from a class to your levels in another class it has no effect on your familiar, however if a class simply gives you some benefit based on your class levels your familiar receives it.
Special: A fighter may select this feat as one of their bonus feats.
Share Spell-like Abilities [General]
You are able to share spell-like abilities with your companion as if they were spells.
Prerequisites: Animal Companion, Familiar, a psicrystal, or other companion which has the Share Spells or Share Powers ability.
Benefit: You may share spell-like abilities and psi-like abilities with your companion(s) as if they were spells and/or powers.

Prerequisites: Perform (Sing) 8 ranks, ability to call a familiar, animal companion, special mount, animal pal, or similar creature, ability to sing Bardic Music, Draconic Hymns, or Mystical Songs.
Benefit: You may have your companion creature sing a Bardic Music performance, Draconic Hymn, or Mystical Song as if it were you. You cannot also sing one unless you would normally be able to sing more than one such song at a time (in which case you and your companion creature together may sing the number of songs you could normally sing either one of you singing the maximum number or dividing it between the two of you), and you must still expend any uses and pay any costs associated with singing the song.
Transfer Wounds:
You are able to transfer your wounds and effects to your familiar.
Prerequisites: Ability to call a familiar.
Benefit: As a standard action you may transfer any and all damage, ability damage, spell effects, or other effects upon you to your familiar.

They do not share their master’s skill points except for Listen, Search, and Spot, but may still use their master’s saving throws and do gain hit points as normal for a familiar. Creating a lesser familiar requires a 4 hour ritual with materials costing 100 GP. You do not lose any XP when a lesser familiar dies, and may summon a new one immediately thereafter.
In addition you gain the ability to spend a standard action to concentrate and see through the eyes of one of your familiars using its senses temporarily instead of your own.

If you choose to release a harmful pulse undead and deathless creatures within 5 ft per level take 3 damage per level of the cast spell. If you choose to release a restorative pulse undead creatures, and other creatures healed by negative energy (but not deathless), are healed 2 damage per level of the cast spell. If you have Greater Spell Focus (Necromancy) you may expend a 3rd level or higher spell slot to Rebuke/Command Undead as an evil cleric of your level.
Snake: Enchantment. Your spellcasting is hypnotic. Creatures that can see you must make a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 level + Cha modifier +2 if you are casting an Enchantment spell) to attack you while you are casting a spell (this affects attacks of opportunity as well as readied actions), this is a mind-affecting effect. If you have Greater Spell Focus (Enchantment) whenever you cast an Enchantment spell you gain a bonus equal to its level for 1 minute on Charisma based checks against any creature that saw you cast it.
Toad: Transmutation. Whenever you cast a Transmutation spell you gain a swim speed equal to your land speed for 1 minute per spell level, and a bonus to Jump checks equal to your level for the same duration.

Alternatively you may apply one of the following templates to an applicable normal or Improved Familiar; if you select an Improved Familiar the minimum caster level to call the familiar increases by the number in parentheses. You must abide by any alignment restrictions (the resulting creature must be within 1 step of your alignment), and any spell-like abilities granted by the template are granted at the creature's hit dice without being a familiar.
The applicable templates are: Ghost (+6), Ghost BruteLM (+4), Half-Celestial (+4), Half-Dragon (+2), Half-FarspawnToM (+4), Half-Fiend (+4), ShadowToM (+4).
Special: If you have the Chimeric Familiar feat only one of your familiar's two halves may be selected from this list or have one of its templates.
Metamorphic Familiar:
Your mastery of transmutation, coupled with your control over your familiar's very being allows you to twist and shape it to your needs.
Prerequisites: Ability to summon a familiar, arcane caster level 5+ or Shapechanger subtype, and Spell Focus (Transmutation) or Transmuter level 1+.
Benefit: Your familiar gains the Shapechanger subtype. Once per day you may perform a 1 minute ritual to change your familiar into any other type of creature you could call as a familiar. For all extents and purposes it is the new creature and you gain familiar benefits as if it were the new creature. If the new familiar has spell-like abilities it cannot use them for 1 hour.
Phantasmal Companion:
You are able to make your companion beast desynchronize from the world becoming out of phase with it, or returning it to faze.
Prerequisites: Character level 7+, ability to call a familiar, animal companion, special mount, animal pal, or similar creature, ability to cast 2nd level spells.
Benefit: You may expend a 2nd level spell to cause your companion creature to become incorporeal. This last indefinitely. Bringing your companion back into phase requires you to expend another 2nd level spell.
Possess Familiar
Your soul retreats into your familiar upon your death allowing your body to reform with time.
Prerequisites: Ability to summon a familiar, arcane caster level 9+.
Benefit: When you die your soul and mind move to enter your familiar as long as it is within 1 mile. In effect you enter its body gaining its hit points and physical (and supernatural) traits; you do not gain access to any spell-like abilities it may possess. You may speak while in your familiar's body this way but may not perform somatic components unless it was already capable of doing so. If your body is intact you may return your soul to it by an 8 hour ritual which requires you to touch it. Otherwise you may reform your body by performing a ritual which takes 8 hours a day each day for a week. Either way you are revived at 1 hit point. You suffer a -1 penalty to all mental ability scores for each day you have existed within your familiar's body; if any ability score is reduced to 0 by this penalty your soul departs and you die; this penalty resets if you have not been in your familiar's body for at least 1 month. If your familiar dies while you occupy its body you die.
Special: The act of switching and the ritual are supernatural abilities; if you are in your familiar you do not suffer any special penalty from anti-magic fields however.

You are able to share your feats along the mystic bond with your familiar.
Prerequisites: Ability to summon a familiar.
Benefit: Your familiar gains the benefits of any feats you possess as long as it is within 1 mile of you. Some feats will be useless on your familiar this way (Metamagic for example). Your familiar cannot attract followers, cohorts, familiars, wild cohorts, or other bonded creature regardless of what feats you possess. If a feat allows you to add one level from a class to your levels in another class it has no effect on your familiar, however if a class simply gives you some benefit based on your class levels your familiar receives it.
Special: A fighter may select this feat as one of their bonus feats.
Share Spell-like Abilities [General]

Benefit: You may have your companion creature sing a Bardic Music performance, Draconic Hymn, or Mystical Song as if it were you. You cannot also sing one unless you would normally be able to sing more than one such song at a time (in which case you and your companion creature together may sing the number of songs you could normally sing either one of you singing the maximum number or dividing it between the two of you), and you must still expend any uses and pay any costs associated with singing the song.
Transfer Wounds:
You are able to transfer your wounds and effects to your familiar.
Prerequisites: Ability to call a familiar.
Benefit: As a standard action you may transfer any and all damage, ability damage, spell effects, or other effects upon you to your familiar.

Witch’s Eyes
You are capable of creating lesser familiars and seeing through their eyes.

Benefit: You are capable of calling 1 lesser familiar, plus 1 per 3 levels in classes which advance your familiar. These lesser familiars do not gain most of the abilities of being a familiar, only gaining Empathic Link, Intelligence 6, Improved Evasion, and ability to grant Alertness feat. They do not share their master’s skill points except for Listen, Search, and Spot, but may still use their master’s saving throws and do gain hit points as normal for a familiar. Creating a lesser familiar requires a 4 hour ritual with materials costing 100 GP. You do not lose any XP when a lesser familiar dies, and may summon a new one immediately thereafter.
