Familiars

Remove all ads!

1) Do they really have to be fed, if so where do i get the food
2) Do they power up if you finish BGII and then play n TOB with the same familiar?

 

1. You don't have to feed them.
2. Their hitpoint double and I think they gain some additional abilities

Edit: yay! new gem

 

2. The book that came with ToB has complete stats for the upgraded familiars. Checking that might help (mine's at home, otherwise I'd look it up for ya.)

 

Usually I don't even bother with the little buggers. Mine have a habit of being killed by area affect spells directed at me and the loss of a constitution point ticks me off. If I summon one I shove him in my pack and keep him there and enjoy my sweet sweet extra hp

 

IIRC, your familiar doesn't improve just because you've transitioned from SoA to ToB. It's just that if you have ToB installed, even if you're just starting SoA, you're going to get a better familiar than you would if you only had SoA installed without ToB.

 

I've had a look in my ToB manual and I can't see the stats for familiars in there. In fact I can't see any mention of them at all.

They are all listed here, however.

@Buck Naked: WRONG! YOur familiars will get stronger after beating Irenicus if you have ToB installed.

 

Taza, correct, although I do seem to recall my mage's hitpoints not increasing at all after beating Slayer.

IIRC = If I Recall Correctly -- as in, "I MAY BE WRONG"
