So, the EDE feat (Fiendish Codex I) says I only have to pay 1/2 Xp for a spell/item creation so long as I have a demon present who's HD is equal to the caster level required for the spell/item? (Well, there's more mechanics to it than that, but that's the gist)

A Quasit can be a familiar if a character takes the Improved Familiar feat. A Quasit is a demon who you can probably count on being within 30 feet of you whenever you craft/cast. A familiar's HD is equal to its master's class level.

I won't insult anyone's intelligence by connecting those dots, but they paint a rather pretty (broken) picture.

Yes, I can already picture your dm trying to smash your skull with his DMG the moment you try to (ab)use this combo...:P

If only I could find a way to cram a familiar onto an artificer...

My current char (warlock) has a Quasit I smuggled in via Obtain Familiar (Complete Arcane) and then Improved Familiar. I'd try to pull this crap in my current game, if only I had the feats to burn (and access to wish).

...Wow, just thought of that...1/2 xp cost wishes...*shudder*

And that reminds me of a 'getting the most out of your familiar' thread... one of the ways being:

You and your familiar share spells.
Magic Jar your familiar into friends body.
Use wishes to increase a stat.
Your friend's stats go up as well. :plotting:

Or just share your discounted wish stat bumps with your familiar via share spells... its all cool. ;)
