I'm likely to be running a Wizard in an upcoming campaign, and since I couldn't find a specialization I particularly liked (sometimes the different abilities didn't mesh too well conceptually with what I had in mind), I decided to go for the Universalist Wizard, which, well, has no real particular benefits, except that they can use an Amulet of Magecraft, unlike any other Wizard.
However, there's a problem. While I want a familiar, the Amulet only works if it's the Wizard's bonded item, so I need to figure out ways to get both.
I know of one way, which is taking the (Improved) Familiar Bond feat, but that's a fairly hefty feat tax (needs Iron Will and is two feats in and of itself). I've seen Arcane Eldritch Heritage suggested, but by RAW it doesn't work since the Arcane bloodline explicitly disallows having both a familiar and a bonded object.
