SERVANT FAMILIAR
Your familiar is no mere beast, but instead a loyal servant.
Prerequisite: Ability to acquire a new familiar.
Benefit: When choosing a new familiar, you may choose to have a willing humanoid function as your familiar. A servant familiar is treated as a commoner with the magus secondary class, with a character equal to their master's class level and gains only the special benefits provided to familiars, excluding the ability to speak with creatures of their kind, not increases to natural armor or intelligence.

So your servant familiar can't communicate with humans?

Otherwise, seems good. Would their equipment go with them and come back with them when they die/get shunted into a pocket dimension, or would they come back naked every time?

Should this work for beast master rangers too?

If your servant familiar is human, they don't automatically gain the ability to communicate with all humans, though they retain the ability to speak common and any bonus languages. The text there is akin to what improved familiar gets.

Um... I would assume it would go with them, though one could certainly play it as that.

As for beast master ranger, they don't get a familiar so it wouldn't be compatible. They just get a familiar ability to add on to their animal companion.
