Hi, I've been looking through some 3.0 books - Magic of Faerun, to be exact - and I wanted to take one prestige class there. The alertness feat is one of the requirements, however, and since I would be playing a sorcerer I would be a bit feat-starved. I wondered would having a familiar count as having the feat? The book itself seems to indicate that's how it worked in 3.0.

Would it be an acceptable conversion? I realize that losing or dismissing the familiar would mean that my character would not be able to advance in the class.

I'd say so, but you lose all of the class abilities if the familiar moves to far away

I'm tempted to agree, and I'd make sure you don't have any long-term enemies who learn of this fact. It could lead to a world of trouble.

That's a bit weird - the class mostly gives feats anyway :) .
