Can't thieves read magical scrolls, though?

Yes they can, but they can't have familiars. (unless you count Minsc )
Familiars are more trouble than they're worth, especially if you lose them moving between areas.

Don't want to use the patch. I'm currently playing with a monk in my team and I like him to be ridiculously powerful.

Yep. You have to speak to them to do it though. This is good if you're going against area-effect johnnies

I had a familiar once...but kept losing it! WHen the group would try to transition to another area that voice would drone on and on: "You must gather your party before...you know the rest..." And so I would go back wandering around trying to find the little bugger. Finally it must have gotten killed because I just noticed one day that it no longer was there! I don't even know when it happened!! I am really a responsible pet owner in my...ah...other life... ~really.

Hi Shrylia ,

actually what you are describing is a known bug, so in no way related to your qualities as a pet owner !

Actually did they do their disapperance act while sitting in your backpack ?
That is the bug I was talking about, have experienced myself and can be fixed with the patch. Or did you lose him while he was out in the open ? Mine was almost always put away from danger in the backpack, except for some occasional petting. They are quite cute, indeed !

------------------
So long !

R³ - new, much improved signature under construction !

You mean you have to be a goody two-shoes to get a dragon? Poo! Oh well, my chicken lord won't want a familiar anyway
