On the note of the OP's Familiar, I once had a &th lvl battle Sorc6/fighter 1( with rolled stats to the tune of str14, dex14 con14, int 6, Cha 18, and Wis 8. He took a couple of feats (I don't remember the source) that gave him draconic features (including claws), and he had a pseudo-dragon Familiar. I actually roleplayed the Familiar, instead of the sorc, So i was this little dragon directing a force of distruction. The sad part was I could not justify any further multiclassing or "my character" would not gain any benefits. Later the sorc died (one cleric shy of a TPK), and the GM ruled that I could gain class lvls from there (and give me a couple to start with, to make up for the loss of familiar benefits). Psuedo-dragon rogue for the win.
