Familiars broken

Post by Dreams »

This may be the case for other familiars as well but for the sake of this report it's an Eyeball familiar with no appearance change.

  • It can speak Deep Speech but cannot understand or translate anything.
  • It does not convey the ability to understand incoming Deep Speech, whether it is possessed or not possessed.
  • There is a +0 Search bonus, that's not just a display issue, I'm checking the value before/after summoning it and it stays the same.

On PGCC, when using -familiar to change the appearance of the Eyeball familiar to either Black Cat or Willowisp, they lose the Deep Speech entirely. This might be the case for other familiars as well but I don't really have time to go through and test it all.

RP only starts at 30 if you're a coward.

Also applies to faerie dragon familiars. Mine is applying +0 Bluff, and my character sheet confirms my bluff didn't increase at all.

  1. The familiar level calculation ia broken for warlock/AA, 10 warlock/10 AA only acquire a familiar around 11 hd, without appearance of the familiar feat.
  2. The skill bonus message could be annoying if your familiar follow you running. Could we get a switch for the alarm or enlarge the area of effect?

A minor oopsie on my end.
A fix will arrive soonish.

PD: The language is specific of each familiar skin. The eyeball speaks Deep, the cat does not.

Don't click weird links, kiddos.

Yup but the point was that the Black Cat doesn’t get animal or any other language, the willowisp doesn’t get sylvan

At least it seems to be working on my beta branch. Poke me again after it goes live.

Skills seem to be fixed. Still bugged for speech/language recognition.

  • Summon Eyeball familiar
  • Someone else speaks in Deep Speech
  • My character can't understand it

Also

  • Summon Eyeball familiar
  • Possess Eyeball familiar
  • It can't speak Deep Speech, or understand Deep Speech
