Quick question on calculating stats for familiars:
For hit points, it is one-half the master's hit points (ignoring temporary)
Would that include the penalty from a legacy item?
For example, if a character has 66 hit points currently (76 - 10 from the legacy penalty), would the familiar have 33 or 38 hit points?
I found a post mentioning that a celestial familiar's skills were the base creature's skills as opposed to the master's skills. Do most people play that that way? Further research showed that BoED was 3.0, and the 3.0 familiar did not use master's skills so it could be that the skills should be updated per 3.5 rules.
