Favorite Familiar/Animal Companion (3.5 DND)

[Harperfan7]

They are animals with 1/2 HD, they could be taken without improved familiar. No?

Eh, they have a bit more than normal animals, namely intelligence and immunity to poison.

I don't know for sure, but I would allow them.

Indeed, actually. Which makes me wonder again why they are animals and not magical beast.

Fav Famillier?

A Raven named Trevor for my Beguiller, thanks to shared skills he was an excelent Diplomat.
Also due to the gods of Dice likeing a good joke as much as the next guy Trevor has gotten more Nat 20's on Spot and Listen then anyone in the party.
As a bit of extra fun it always seems to happen when everyone else rolls a 3.


Fav AC?

A Celestial Dire bear named Tiny for my Druid/Beastmaster. thanks to all the Buffs Tiny had a Strength score a tad north of the gods.
Crowning glory was Tiny (Fully Buffed) making a Retardedly High Jumpcheck and grappeling a great wyrm red Dragon. end result was a win for us.

HAd anyone ever targeted the druid I would have been boned as almost all my WBL went to Tiny.

Psicrystal... am I doing it right?

Oh ok... Ghostly Visage

Oh ok... Ghostly Visage

Yeah, pretty much this. I made a Dead Necromancer (that never got played :( ) and for the life of me I couldn't decide whether I wanted a Vargouille or a Ghostly Visage. Free fear effects for fun and profit is one thing, but flying bat-head-demon-things that make out with you to turn you into one of them are also win.

My favourite was Cael's staff. It was an item familiar that he had imbued with his effeminate side, which wound up being all his strong, agressive feelings for some reason. She wound up having a high enough ego score that he basically went around going by his familiars commands, though they generally agreed on what had to be done.

By the end of the campaign, due to a variety of problematic agreements with a celestial (She asked if she could have my child, in exchange for magical knowledge. My response was "But I haven't got a child. Hmm. I guess I need to go get one. How does one go about that?") the staff wound up getting shape changed into a humanoid form. Since they couldn't keep the shapechange up for 9 months, it was decided that Cael should get a belt of gender changing, and that the staff should do the fathering. My explanation as to why I did it this way was because he didn't care too much for imposing himself on others, and more importantly, both the DM and I knew the clause that stated that item familiars tend to be clingy and possessive.

Commented that I was the first male PC to be impregnated by a female item, and the first to equivocate a situation that badly.

BTW, my character was a crazed, yet kind hearted wizard theorist. I imagine this conversation came up some time after his child was born: http://xkcd.com/441/

From the last time someone posted this topic, because it's long enough to be a pain to type out.

[Darth Stabber]

AC
Anarchic Rhino (crazy homebrew PRC)

Familiar
Either my pseudodragon that severed as the player character to the moron Sorc
or
my Dread Necro's Imp who carried my bag of onyx for me, and yet my character was LN. That being said i was a priestess of Wee Jas (just no cleric levels).

I quite like rats for my familiars. They're cute, they make good sneaks, and the bonus to Fortitude saves is never a bad thing.

Same here.

My favorite AC so far has been my dino-themed druid's anklyosaurus.
