That's why, most of the time, it's safer to keep your familiar stashed in your backpack, where it won't get hurt by anything.

Familiars are also very useful, in that when the Mage casts Find Familiar, his hitpoints go up by 1/2 of the amount of the Familiar's hitpoints. Most Familiars have 24 HP, so your Mage now has 12 HP more than he used to. And if you're a Fighter/Mage, those extra HP are also doubled when you use Tenser's Transformation. Not bad.
