Does your familiar share spells with you?
So picture this. I've got a Raven familiar with ranks in UMD. She is holding a wand of True Strike or True Casting. Can she cast the spell and share it with me so I don't have to waste a turn doing that?

FAQ is not RAW!Avatar by the incredible CrimsonAngel.
Saph:It's surprising how many problems can be solved by one druid spell combined with enough aggression.
I play primarily 3.5 D&D. Most of my advice will be based off of this. If my advice doesn't apply, specify a version in your post.

Re: Does your familiar share spells with you?
(Except the ones that don't.)
That's nice. Why would this work like a gate? Look, it's really simple. Your familiar has a "Share Spells (Ex)" ability, conveyed upon it by its very familiarhood. That ability allows you to share spells with it.
You don't have such an ability.
That's the end of it.

Re: Does your familiar share spells with you?
Unfortunately, IwSA is not a Beguiler or even a Wizard spell.
As a Beguiler with a familiar, what would you have it do each turn?Last edited by Frosty; 2008-05-02 at 11:22 PM.

Re: Does your familiar share spells with you?
In combat, give it wands that do things directly, instead of trying to get it to buff you. So let your familiar fire off the wand of Web or whatever.
Out of combat, have it use Aid Another to give you a free +2 on all of your skill checks.Time travels in divers paces with divers persons.

Re: Does your familiar share spells with you?
Some buffs, spells that don't require saving throws, that sort of thing. Pretty much the sort of spells you'd be using wands for yourself.
However, for the original bit in this thread... The rules don't work that way. You could change them so that they did, but why would you? Wizards are already one of the most powerful classes in the game. This only makes them more powerful. They don't need another advantage.I am a poor man, some say I’m half crazy,

Re: Does your familiar share spells with you?
You can only share spells that *you* cast. And using a spell-trigger item is not really casting, though there some leeway on that part.
Benign Transposition (SC) and [Greater] Slide (SC) can be nice for a "chess player" feel : your familiar moves you and your allies around the battlefield (readying actions to slide people can be fun too). Get them on Eternal Wands (MIC) if you mean to use them over and over."Even gods must learn to control their tempers, lest they set a bad example."

Re: Does your familiar share spells with you?
Does my familiar always act on my initiate I wonder? Or if it can ready/delay while I act normally.
