Does anybody know how to use familiars? I clearly remember familiars providing slight but welcome fire-support. How does one use familiars in ToEE? I selected call familiar from the first ring menu and selected a snake with the sorcerer and the familiar appeared in my inventory. I tried equipping it, but no such luck. I can't drop it either. How does one use familiars? Edited on Wednesday, April 14th Familiars add a fixed bonus to your mage class. They are not permanent summons ala Neverwinter Nights. The bonuses are quite worthless as they are small and unnoticeable.
These are the benefits the familiars are supposed to give: Bat Master gains a +3 bonus on Listen checks Cat Master gains a +3 bonus on Move Silently checks Hawk Master gains a +3 bonus on Spot checks Lizard Master gains a +2 bonus on Will save checks Owl Master gains a +3 bonus on Spot checks Rat Master gains a +2 bonus on Fortitude checks Raven Master gains a +3 bonus on Appraise checks Snake Master gains a +3 bonus on Bluff checks Toad Master gains a +3 hit points Weasel Master gains a +2 bonus on Reflex saves
