11-24-05, 06:45 AM I'm planning a hexblade with the improved familiar feat, but the problem is that wandering around with a large creature (as a Howler, for example) may attract some problems.
Is there any way, some kind of spell or magic item that allows you to "keep" your familiar safe and release it when you want?
Thanks!

First get yourself a Craft Wondrous Itens feat or a standard Big-Bag-o-Money :twocents: to the nearest iten-making mage..:
- Grab some nifty gem as big as your fist (if not bigger);
- A sponfull of scrolls, namely Familiar Pocket;
- Add Gust of Wind.. let it rest or eat it raw, you got a familair storing device with plenty air to breath.. :D It´s a small dessert and enough for 1 magi.. :cookie:

For extra flavour, add Shrink and/or Food and Drink (there´s a Ioun stone with that power) to taste :w00t: and either Cure Superficial Wounds or Regenerate light wounds (regen 1) for sweetness.. :cloud9:

Some have spoken of some spicing using some Dimensional Door or Word of Recall for it, with Reach Spell feat as apropriate, for quick recoveries.. but i´m not sure.. Try your hand at it and see what you can bake..
