I think that it'd be more likely that your familiar would find Boo to be a tasty little treat...

Boo, "Squeek!!! SQUEEK!!!"

"Sluuuurp!"

"Now what was that you said about being hungry?"

Tougher Familiars are definitely high on my list of Good Ideas to be included in some kind of Wizard MOD. They definitely require some souping-up, so that characters might even be tempted to let them out of their backpacks every once in a while. Perhaps, when the caster is of a high enough level, the Familiar cannot be truly killed: The PC does not suffer a CON penalty, the Familiar is simply forced to retreat to the Backpack and cannot be used again that day.

I'd also like to allow the characters to choose the Familiar they get, and not have it be determined solely by Alignment. Add in some extra choices, such as Rat, Wolf, Chicken, Dog, Eagle, Spider, Troll (the smaller one), Sparrow, Baby Wyvern, Leopard..... coolness. Oh, and Moose, too. Moose bites can be pretti nasti.

Druids and all Rangers should be allowed to have Familiars as well.

I'd stay away from the larger Demon avatars, simply because of the incogruity of toting around such a large beast in your backpack. I also don't like my Familiar to look cooler than me. Perhaps the Evil Familiars could have the ability to temporarily take the form of a Demon.

I agree with SixOfSpades, but you should be able to name them as well.

Sorry, Annatar, if I have spoiled you. I am just erroneously assuming that everyone has ToB.

Level 31? I finished ToB at level 31 with my solo Sorcerer( Xp Cap). You should more or less be able to sneeze your way through ToB.

"I'm sorry, did I injure you? It was meant to kill you. Here, here, have another Skull Trap on the house."

hehehe I stopped using the solo sorc. for a while and also my home made party because I was feeling BG II wasn't a real challenge for me anymore... (read ''Cold Turkey'')

I'm thinkig of installing weimer's tactics mod... is it capable of running without ToB installed? (because if it is really bugged without it I will not install it I think though..)

because ive heard allot of the famous tactics mod so... maybe that can spicy up things in the BG II world... because my sorc. goes like ''poef poef.. '' and another pack of terrible vamps are gone pushing up the daisies...

It was a revenge for the Suldanessellar thingy.
