Death of a sorcerer familiar.

@8c56fe7f9a=Sterling:
HP calculations for a familiar don't count multi-class.
Don't they? Familiars should get half of the master's total hit points, rounded down.

The familiar has one-half the master’s total hit points (not including temporary hit points), rounded down, regardless of its actual Hit Dice.
If you check that link you'll notice that even hit dice (though apparently they're irrelevant to hit points for familiars) are equal to the master's character level, not caster level.

If you're going to go fighting with your familiar (not recommended at higher levels) you are usually best of with a panther (sneak attacks) or a mephit/imp (DR and regen)

HP calculations for a familiar don't count multi-class. Only your caster levels and unbuffed con.

What about multiclassing and familiar HP…. meaning
If your a level 1 wiz with a con of 10 and you have 4 hp, then your familiar would have 2 hp...
Now if your a Lvl 1 wiz/ Lvl 1 Ftr with a con of 10 and you have 14 hp, does that mean your familiar would have 7?
-
Now THAT makes me sad.
Kicks sand oh well.
Thanks for letting me know! now I know not to bring him out til I have a boatload of Hp…. Sigh
-
Yup, ignore whatever it says on the familiar IG for hp's it has half whatever you have.

Here's another one for mages (unless it's been changed).

If you leave your mage in an area without any pcs while posessing your familiar, you may lose all inventory objects.

He had 12… I had 5.
Weird?Read what Vortext posted…if you had 5 he had max 3 (more likely 2)..no matter if his sheet said 12.

Weird?

double post, sorry

One last thing, I don't think the poison was what did it. The con roll was yours, to see if you managed to survive the psychic shock of the old buddy dyin.
The poor thing has only half your hitpoints . . . considering you were/are a squishy babymage
That ain't much . . . one lucky hit and squoosh, down it goes

Gotcha. Just curious why it didn't seem to happen the first time blynk bit the dust… and from his own poison?
MAN!.... Aforementioned tears

Way way back in the PnP game the summoning of the familiar took a ritual with specific ingredients that were worth about 100Gold, so to resummon your replacement that idea is still with us. If you get 100g in your possession then it will be used as a spell component so you don't have to do shopping, just not be broke when you do the summon.
Been there, wept the tears
