Extra Familiar
Type: General
Source: Dragon #280
You have an additional familiar.
Benefit: By taking this feat you get an additional animal familiar. This familiar can be the same type of animal as your first, or a different type. Existing familiar feats apply to the new familiar. So if you have the Construct Familiar feat, for example, the new familiar you call can be a construct. The sorcerer or wizard gains all the benefits of both familiars, but identical bonuses from multiple familiars don't stack. For example, a wizard with both an owl and a cat familiar receives only a +2 bonus to Move Silently checks, not a +4 bonus.
Special: A character can gain this feat multiple times. Each time you take the feat, you can call another familiar.
This feat allows you to acquire a powerful familiar, but only when you could normally acquire a new familiar.
Can you take it at first level? Or do you HAVE to because it says "but only when you could normally acquire a new familiar."
Also, when can you take the Craft Construct feat? Is there a level requirement or just the 2 crafting feat prerequisites?
Craft Construct [Item Creation]
Prerequisites
Craft Magic Arms and Armor, Craft Wondrous Item.
Benefit
A creature with this feat can create any construct whose prerequisites it meets. Enchanting a construct takes one day for each 1,000 gp in its market price. To enchant a construct, a spellcaster must spend 1/25 the item’s price in XP and use up raw materials costing half of this price (see individual construct monster entries for details).
A creature with this feat can repair constructs that have taken damage. In one day of work, the creature can repair up to 20 points of damage by expending 50 gp per point of damage repaired.
A newly created construct has average hit points for its Hit Dice.
Is there any way to make a construct with more than average HPs? If not what's the point of saying they can even have them? Why not just say they have X number of HPs?
