Topic: One Familiar, 2 familiar, 3 Familiar, 4...

Just remember if you are allowing more than one familiar there is also nothing to say that the familiars will get on with each other, they may all like the caster but could be incredibly jealous of each other or see each other as a potential dinner.

Raistlins brother (can't remember his name) had this problem in the Dragonlance books at the start of an adventure. One should also not overlook the ridicule factor for your rotund knight. (Though we are drifting a bit from the topic of familiars)

So.. In our games we also used the True Familiar spell, but you had to dind or research this, which gave access to the urh "True" familiar, basically a spirit entity in animal form as opposed to a very close releationship with a natural animal.

I say do waht is good for your  setting/story. Forget the rules.

Bingo!! The rules are there to provide you with guidelines, not enforce a straight-jacket upon you.

If a rule clashes with your setting, change the rule, not your setting.

 

As is my position as stated also.
