Certain things from 3.0 and 3.5 are not present in the 4E core books. It is quite possible that these will be found in a splatbook later this year, or the PHB2 in the next; but in the meantime, we always have the homebrew forum.
Familiar Bond (wizard utility 2)
You have a spiritual bond with a tiny animal of your choice. You can communicate with it through whistles and gestures (within line of sight), but not with other animals of the same kind.
During combat, as a minor action, you can move it up to six squares, then designate an enemy for it to distract. As long as this enemy is adjacent to the familiar, it has -2 to all attacks. The familiar can be attacked; it has the same defenses as you do, +4 for its size, and any damage done to the familiar is taken by you instead.
