Do familiars gain feats and skill points?
Right, I'm rather a new player [one campaign], but I'm almost a rule lawyer [so you know.] But, I've found nothing about familiars gaining feats, or skill points.
Now, I found on the Wizards website an article saying that familiars can ride their master, to help avoid attacks etc. But, if a familiar can ride their master can they take ranks in riding, and the mounted combat feat, and negate hits on the wizard/sorcerer?Epic avatar by Djinn

I don't think that's what riding means in that context.

Re: Do familiars gain feats and skill points?
Familiars do not gain skills and feats, because they do not gain hit dice.

Re: Do familiars gain feats and skill points?
Yup but in every skill they have ranks equal to half of their masters' ranks in the skill...

Re: Do familiars gain feats and skill points?
Familiars have half the hit points of the master, which is where you got it from, I think. Or the amount of hit points they should have if they were a normal animal, whichever is better

Probably their hit points. Familiars get half their master's hit points. *shrug*
