Next to the wizard you see a smaller, meaner, wizard that looks eerily similar to the former.
A miniature clone is an unusual familiar that is a smaller copy of the caster. Despite being a clone, a miniature clone does not share the personality of their creator, Rather they are usually rather cowardly and vicious. Physically they bear heavy resemblance to their creator, but their body type is closer to that of a dwarf. These creatures are the result of wizards attempting to create a familiar using their own stocks, or botched castings of the clone spell.
Combat[edit]
A cravenly creature, the miniature clone will usually bite would be attackers before inaptly retreating. If pressed with an actual threat, it may use its residual arcane powers to defend itself, assuming it has any relevant spell-like abilities.
Cloned Body (Ex): A miniature clone shares his physical ability score with its master, except it gains a +2 bonus on Dexterity and a –4 penalty on Strength. The statistic above uses 10 as the base physical ability scores, and should be adjusted.
Residual Arcane Powers (Sp): A miniature clone has is able to use two level 0 spells as a spell-like ability three times per day, as well as a single 1st level spell twice per day.The caster level for this effect is equal to half of its master's caster level. The DC of these spell-like abilities are based on the master's main casting ability scores.
If the master is a wizard (or another prepared arcane spellcaster), a miniature clone may study a spellbook like a wizard to change one or more of the chosen spell-like abilities to another contained within the spellbook.
If the master is a sorcerer (or another spontaneous arcane spellcaster), the spell-like abilities must be chosen from his spell known of that level. However the miniature clone's caster level is equal to its master's caster level rather than half.
Familiar[edit]
Miniature clones can be used as familiars for spellcasters with the Improved Familiar feat and at least caster level 3rd.
