Fair enough too - If you WANT a hamster you DESERVE an intelligence penalty LOL
I see on the TeamBG site that sometime back, the nuts and bolts workaround to get a decent familiar was put in place, but I cannot see that it has been progressed.
I do agree with a lot of what you are saying Six, apart from allowing all classes to own one.
All the literature agrees that it is just magic users that ever have familiars - I am not much of a purist, but I do think that this should be a hard and fast rule.
About losing constitution, now this is a biggie and should only happen if the familiar was very difficult to kill, say with either high hit points, or more realistically a capability to automatically jump into your inventory once the familiars hp reach 10%, noting that if he was hit hard at 11%, then he could die
Anyway many ways to configure it, but the one that I would particularly like is not to lose anything if he dies.
Instead it should cost you to build - conjure your familiar - say losing one or more levels depending on what your current level is.
Correspondingly your familiar could not level up
Instead you would have to euthenise him and decide if you wanted to lose levels as the cost of getting the new improved version
