During the courses of many spell casters and adventurers' lives, they take on a familiar or pet for their companion.

Me?
*points to the semi-large toad on sitting atop her head.*

I chose Glenwick* here because I needed something practical. I ain't the most atheletic or physically strong person, so I wanted something that could help me survive a bit longer should I ever hafta fight. <<Toads give masters +2 Con>> Plus, he's just so darn cuuuuuuute. *heart*

If you could have a familiar or pet as yer companion, what would it be? Or if ya already have one, what is it? And why'd ya pick it?

*[bets no one gets the hidden signifigance of that name]

I don't have a familiar so much as I have an animal companion. And that is Brisko the dog!

Brisko is a wily and resourceful fighter as well as a steadfast companion! He has defeated many in righteous combat and honorable warfare.

Brisko is a Level 4 Ranger, and his favored enemy is Cadga.

my familiar Rocky WAS a flying squirrel who thought he was in the air force, but this screwy plane turned him into an elemental.

I've had several characters that have had 'familiar-like' companions.... a Psy-Vamp (have a Psy-Stalker mate with a Vampire and then play the offspring) I played in one Rifts campaign had a bat that hung our with him. Usually just clung to his back or his arm...

Another Psy-Stalker I played had an eagle that traveled with him. Much more 'reliable' than the bat since it actually listened to me....

And the disgrace of a Mage that gets stuck with a *slug*. Needless to say I stuck his ass in a jar and kept him under wraps. I think that GM hated me.

probably a Wolf. they're fourth down the chain of intelligence on this world (Humans, Chimps, and Dolphins come first).

and they have a pack instinct and are fairly regal creatures as well.

"My pet would most likely be either a raven because when I'm lonely it can speak to me, or a dolphin."

Kekvit picks up Glenwick and gives him a hug before setting it back down on Rhiannah's head.

"Of course, having a wife is more of my type of companion,"she says with a grin, nudging Rhia with her elbow.

They spit fire? I thought that was a salamander thing.

I like monkeys. The pet store was selling them for five cents apiece. I thought that odd since they were normally a couple thousand. I decided not to look a gift horse in the mouth. I bought two hundred. I like monkeys

Yes, yes we are.

And personally I think dolphins are more intelligent than humans. I mean seriously, which one is the species that is destroying their own environment?

Lyinar doesn't have a familiar herself, nor Jania or Lynora. But I do have characters that have them.

I have a collection of gypsy/druidic types I call the Elani. They live in Rengir, a world I created where the Inquisition still exists, and their people are persecuted and executed like the witches of old.

One of these is a girl named Elysa. She has a fox kit familiar. Narissa has a ferret for a familiar. Darnara if I remember correctly has a raven.

And then of course, there is my mage, with the most unique familiar you could imagine. Riandar's familiar is Hat. Hat is the wizard hat on her head. Hat talks to her, and Hat is how she performs magic and Hat bites people's faces off if Hat does not like them.

About the Chain of Intelligence, I believe that pigs are actually third, after humans and dolphins.

And I don't have a familiar, they tend to get confused when I summon them.
