10-11-05, 02:42 PM yea, I dont know how to spell his name, want to fight about it.

Anyways, I was wondering if there was much info in official books that could help me go about making a perminantely animated suit of fullplate(that I could wear from time to time) become an intelligent companion, or even my familiar. Mainly need help with the familiar thing.

10-11-05, 03:11 PM See Item Familar in Unearthed Arcana if you have it. If not, see Intelligent Items in the DMG. Then get Permancy + Animated Object casted on the armor.

10-12-05, 09:33 PM I second Vapthorne's suggestion about looking at the Item Familiar. Its always felt hideously overpowered to me, but flavourful.

I say Large-sized, because Al is huge, although he might be Medium.

Otherwise, Adamantine-body Warforged is the way to go.

And animated objects only move as the caster directs them to.

I would have to say that an intelligent item familiar, who maybe has its own animate objects power is about the only way I see this happening.

10-21-05, 03:00 PM That seems best to me...and maybe your DM would allow it as your cohort (if you have leadership) or familiar (if you don't).
