PinkysBrain: Sadly, with DR and Fast Healing, my Familiar beats up a lot of things. He doesn't so much as cuddle us, as he goes strictly off of CRs in the books, and when an encounter gives us more experience then he planned, he nerfs it. That's when he sends in a lot of high-leveled stuff with silly tactics, though. Normally, the CRs never match our Party ECL. He's quite crafty at putting low CR stuff against us with preculiar tactics, and awarding very crummy XP.

Indon: That's a cool idea, and I planned on Polymorphing him quite a bit. I'm unsure of what sort of form would give him more survivability, though. Some of the others enjoy being Cloud Giants.
