[Labacia]

Im in CH 3, and since the beginning of the game ive been lookin for Find Familiar. It would really help if someone could tell me where one of those scrolls were. Ive never gone out of Ath. ( The City of Coin) but i prolly will sometime today. Please, some help!

There's one in Nalia's keep (to the left chest of the "main hall area"), although you'll have to do some smart lock picking

I think you also get one from one of the random encounters ("you have been waylaid by enemies and must defend yourself....)

Their is one in Nalia´s keep next to the forge, you can buy one from a merchant near the city gate (the one that gets threatend by a thug) and their is also one on the body of one of the shadow thieves that get killed by a vamp.

I find it's best to choose Find Familiar at the start of the game when you can pick your mage spells earlier on the familiar's HP boost and thieving skills are more useful anyway.
A question - if you import a mage from BG1, do they keep the spells in their spellbook? It's really hard finding decent mid-level spells without buying them (which is very expensive early on), although high-level ones are actually quite easy to find (as treasure). My mages usually end up with about 8 level 6,7,8 spells and only one or two near-useless level 4 and 5 ones..

Only point I'd make about that is that you're wasting an initial spell slot on a spell that you will only cast once in the game. Just a comment.
