Prerequisites: 4 ranks of Knowledge (Arcana). Already permitted to have a familiar

Benefit: The character can obtain more than one familiar.

Normal: Characters are typically only allowed to have one familiar

Special: For each successive familiar that a character binds, there is an XP and gp cost involved. The second familiar bound would cost 100 XP and 200 gp; the third, an additional 200 XP and 300 gp; the fourth, an additional 300 XP and 400 gp; etc.

Notes: This feat can be taken more than once; however, if each successive time increases the prerequisite rank in Knowledge (Arcana) by 2. However, if a character loses more than 1 familiar within the same year-and-a-day, their penalties increase. Under normal circumstances, if a character loses a familiar, they need to make a Fort save against a DC of 15. If they fail, they lose 200 XP/caster level. However, each additional familiar lost increases the DC by 2 and the XP lost by 100/ caster level. For example, a character loses 3 familiars within the same year-and-a-day. The first one is a save vs. 15, and if it fails, 200 XP/caster level. The second is a save vs. 17, and if it fails, 300 XP/caster level. The third one is a save vs. 19, and if it fails, 400 XP/caster level. The character will have to wait a year-and-a-day from the death/ dismissal of each familiar before they can replace him or her.
