And improved familiars, already powerful than mere familiars, do not grant such things. I was wondering however if improved familiars: * Grant alertness to their masters, and share spells as normal familiars do (of course dependant on master's sorcerer/wizard level) and have improved evasion. * Have their Int scores and natural armor bonuses increased like their normal counterparts. My thanks and regards, LoS :behold:

So, the answer to all your questions would be yes.
