02-21-05, 10:12 PM I was working on creating a wizard for an Eberron campaign I am joining and I was curious if different familiars might be available to wizards of eberron in addition to the traditonal list to reflect the differnt world that is Eberron?

02-22-05, 04:35 AM The only familiars that could be Eberron specific are creatures printed in Eberron books.

That leaves you with a few homonculi and the spiretop dragon. On the top of my head, I don't remember other creature whose size and power fits a familiar -- and even then, those will need the Improved Familiar feat.

That would be funny. You have this nifty bunny critter as a familiar... and every other caster you meet tries to gut it.

02-22-05, 05:30 PM don't remember if i saw this in the ecs or somewhere else, but a tiny or smaller dinosaur could be an option for a familiar. i think there is a specific one mentioned maybe?

02-22-05, 05:57 PM Homonculi would be very Eberronesque. Especially one of the new ones (but not only them.)

Just my two cents. :D

I think that was in a Dragon, which I have but can't find... Grr.

02-23-05, 09:34 AM The Spiretop Dragon in Sharn:City of Towers can be used as an improved familiar, instead of a pseudo-dragon.

I overlooked them. Are they mentioned to have a single horn on their head? If so, that's the return of the al-mi'raj!

02-23-05, 11:48 AM what about the improved familiars from the Tome&Blood, especially the Pseudodragon, my longtime favorite.
Do they exist in Eberron or is there a problem because of the other role dragon play here ?
