This book answers all those questions for familiars and animal companions that might arise during play; where do familiars come from, how are they acquired, what are their stats, what are their powers. This book includes stats on familiars for Wizards, Sorcerers, Druids and Clerics but also includes extensive reference to those animal companions used by Fighters, Paladins, Rangers such as the Unicorn, Holy steeds, and saber toothed tigers. A must have for all DMs and players alike.
The Book of Familiars brings together a host of talented writers and artists to bring you a new ground-breaking look at the eleven core classes. Herein we expand the horizons of familiars and have developed a fully functional, well balanced approach for each character class to gain a familiar or animal companion.
