Illusory Familiar (3.5e Feat)



 (Ex): While a familiar is within arm’s reach, the master gains the Alertness feat.

 (Su): The master has an empathic link with his familiar out to a distance of up to 1 mile. The master cannot see through the familiar’s eyes, but they can communicate empathically. Because of the limited nature of the link, only general emotional content can be communicated.

Because of this empathic link, the master has the same connection to an item or place that his familiar does.

You can choose either a +3 bonus to any one skill, a +2 bonus to any one save, a +2 bonus to initiative, a +1 dodge bonus to AC, or +1 hp/level. Once chosen, the bonus cannot be changed.

While it has no skills of its own, its mental ability scores augment the skill ranks it gains from its master.

 (Su): If the master is 5th level or higher, a familiar effectively gains telepathy out to 1 mile, but only between itself and its master.

 (Sp): If the master is 9th level or higher, a the master can call its familiar wherever it is as a standard action. The illusory familiar appears at their side.

 (Sp): If the master is 13th level or higher, he may scry on his familiar (as if casting the scrying spell) once per day.
