Rituals to improve your Familiar

The Rituals that you can do empower your Familiar at the cost of your life energy (xp).

Knowledge (Arcane) 5 ranks : This Ritual allows you to enhance your familiar stats (str, dex, con, or wis) with a +2 enhancement bonus. The cost of doing this ritual is 4000g, 4 days and 320xp. You can only do this once per stat of str, dex, con or wis.


Knowledge (Arcane) 10 ranks: The 2nd Ritual allows you to enhance your familiar stats (str, dex, con, or wis) with a +4 enhancement bonus but only if the stat had the first ritual on it replacing the old bonus. The cost of doing this ritual is 14000g, 14 days and 1120xp. You can only do this once per stat of str, dex, con or wis.

Knowledge (Arcane) 15 ranks: The 3rd Ritual allows you to enhance your familiar stats (str, dex, con, or wis) with a +6 enhancement bonus but only if the stat had the 2nd ritual on it replacing the old bonus. The cost of doing this ritual is 20000g, 20 days and 1600xp. You can only do this once per stat of str, dex, con or wis.

Knowledge (Arcane) 20 ranks: The 4th Ritual allows you to enhance your familiar stats (str, dex, con, or wis) with a +8 enhancement bonus but only if the stat had the 3rd ritual on it replacing the old bonus. The cost of doing this ritual is 28000g, 28 days and 2240xp. You can only do this once per stat of str, dex, con or wis.


I came up with the cost of what it should be by using the bonus as if it was a enhancement bonus on a items and doubling the cost.


I dicided to try to make something like this becouse a druid animal compainin seems to be way better then a Familiar even though they have no penatly like a Familiar death does. I also would like to make some for the familiar to grew to larger sizes but not sure how to do that one yet. What are your thoughts.

The idea is interesting, but as you noted, the animal companion will get much more use of these boosts. I could see boosting a familiar's Dex, to help with AC and Relex saves, but that's about it...

There should be rituals to give them spell like abilities:

Enlarge (but altered so it affects magical beasts), invisibility, message, polymorph (so it takes on human form), spell turning, Rary's Mnemomic enhancer (but affects host) could be some possibilities.

Also a ritual to grant them DR/cold iron?

I would like to see a ritual that'll increase the familiar's hit points, and perhaps something to increase his natural armor?
