lostpike 12-05-05, 12:10 PM	does anyone know? Plse help!
GreatSiron 12-05-05, 02:11 PM	Umm.... I don't think anyone can read your spoiler (or it was removed) but I played a mod in which you had a chance to access a puedodragon familar, and you had to have improved familar to use it. Don't know if that helps.

mikeh1701 12-15-05, 01:30 PM	You must have the Improved Familiar feat. The AR item is quite clear on this: "Access to .... for a creature to serve as an Improved Familiar, provided the PC meets all prerequisites." Additional wording describes where/what sources/types of creatures are allowed with this favor.
