The spell description is
Quote:

Find Familiar
(Conjuration/Summoning)
Level: 1
Range: n/a
Duration: Special
Casting Time: 1 round
Area of Effect: 1 familiar
Saving Throw: Special

This spell enables the caster to attempt to summon a familiar to act as his aide and companion. Familiars are typically small creatures. A creature acting as a familiar can benefit a wizard, conveying its sensory powers to its master, conversing with him, and serving as a guard/scout/spy as well. A wizard can have only one familiar at a time, and he has no control over what sort of creature answers the summoning, if any come at all.
(Note: This spell may only be cast by the protagonist, the central character.)
The creature is always more intelligent than others of its type (typically by 2 or 3 Intelligence points), and its bond with the wizard confers upon it an exceptionally long life.
The wizard has an empathic link with the familiar and can issue it mental commands.
The caster receives half the familiar's total hit points as bonus hit points. However the caster must take care to treat his familiar well, for if the familiar should die, the caster loses the bonus hit-points and half the familiar's hit-points again as damage. Also when a familiar dies, the caster loses 1 point of constitution PERMANENTLY.

Example: A mage has 12 hit points and casts find familiar. The imp summoned has 18 hit points, so the caster gets a bonus of 9 hit points. The caster now has 21 hit points. If the familiar dies the caster loses those 9 hit points (putting him back at 12), 1 point of constitution permanently (which may cause additional hit point loss), and takes 9 damage.

Here is a list of the familiars that the player receives according to alignment:

LAWFUL GOOD, NEUTRAL GOOD: Pseudo Dragon

Resistances: Magic=25%, Fire/Magical Fire=100%, Cold/Magical Cold=100%, Electricity=100%
Special abilities: Can cast Horror and Blur, movement rate=10

Note: Each familiar has 24 Hit Points, a base THAC0 of 17 and base attacks/round of 2, unless otherwise noted. The thieving skills and Armor Classes of each familiar include the Dexterity bonuses for those with a high enough Dexterity to receive them.


But, I think the in-game description is a shortened version.

That's actually fairly weird...because I had a chaotic Neutral Sorceress..and she got a Pseudo-Dragon...for that matter, I think my Chaotic Good Fighter/Mage got a Pseudo Dragon too.

My male Chaotic Neutral Wild Mage *did* get a cat, though. Meow.

Maybe my female characters just aren't cat people.
