Familiar Combat Enhancement

Familiar Combat Enhancement

Mystic

Apprentice

180 hours

Requires: Familiar

This ritual allows a wizard to 'buff up' his or her familiar in combat. The ritual takes two rounds and requires the caster to shed a point of blood—in anticipation for the blood soon to be shed by the familiar. The familiar will then fight with little regard for its own safety. At the apprentice level, the familiar gains a +3 to either attack, damage, armour class, or parry/block. At the journeyman level, this bonus increases to +6. The master of this ritual gains the +6 bonus on all of these statistics. At the end of the battle, the bloodlust disappears, and the familiar passes out from exhaustion for half an hour (this applies even to Demonic and Undead familiars).
