A Familiar is a special type of associate for several of the arcane spell casters:
- Hexblade
- Sorcerer (including Shadow Mage)
- Wizard (including Shadow Mage, Spellsword, Wild Mage)
Familiars gain levels as their master gains sorcerer or wizard levels and are not unsummoned upon resting.
Arelith Customizations
- Summon Familiar has a cooldown of 10 minutes, starting the moment the familiar is slain or dismissed.
- The console command -associate allows player to speak through their familiar without possessing it.
- The console command -familiar allows the caster to change the look (skin) of their familiar once on every level.
- The -familiar chat command can now be used to rename familiars. This is done by adding the parameter "name". Example: -familiar name NewName. To prevent typos, the command needs to be entered twice to confirm the desired name. Characters can change their familiar's name once every 15 days and after every level up.
