Hi again,

Although I was hoping on a little more participation from other people
I did get some info by mail, which I'll try to get into a decent
format (sort of complete). Anyway, here come some familiars

Raven Familiar					(Both CoA and RotI)

spells and abilities given by the Raven familiar.
Spell {class} [str add]  Name
____________________________________________________________________________
#214  {Dru-2} [STR 2]    Bless
#156  {See-2} [STR 1]    Dream
#224  {Dru-3} [STR 5]    Charm herd

The raven familiar gives an aura of magical protection (+1 on MR)
The raven familiar increases influence vs dwarves (+2)

Dog familiar					(RotI, possible CoA is same)

spells and abilities given by the Dog familiar.
Spell {class} [str add]  Name
____________________________________________________________________________
#164  {War-1} [STR 3]    Charm of Stealth
#140  {See-2} [STR 3]    Detect skill type
#143  (See-1} [STR 3]    Read Character

The dog familiar gives increased stealth,
The dog familiar give increase characteristics (+3 strength, +25 Combat
                                                factors, +2 Defense)

There are more familiars too follow, but I have to lookup some things
to get them in the original form (complete), also as I got the others
from people of whom I don't have characteristics, I can't determine
how big the bonuses are, only that they give a bonus.

Also I'd like to request, from all people who have summoned a
familiar, what it was, what terrain type you were in when you
summoned it, and the statistics of the character who summoned
it. This I need because I'm trying to figure out what factors
decide which familiar you get, and what increases your chances
to get the familiar you want. Also I'd like to know if anybody has
ever tried relearning the summon familiar spell, after they
have casted it, and then recast the spell.

Also I would like to notify you that there are so called "greater
familiars". I don't know how or where to get them, but
I have seen NPCs with non-standard familiars. So be careful with
summoning too soon, unless you can indeed recast the summon
familiar spell, in which case you just can cast what you like ;)

Well, see you guys (maybe even girls) later, there's
a posting on his way with the statistics of the IMP Quinkulc,
so keep reading this group.
