Like I said before book of vial darkness is excellent for that sort of thing, it has sacrifices and rewards and all sorts but yes its all very very evil. There was an opposite good version that wasnt as good but I cant remeber what it was called, never read it tho.

In fourth edition anyone can cast a ritual, its actually a skill I think, tottally different to spells, Some of the clerics higher level spells are currently cast as rituals.


As far as I view the rituals there normally to a greater power and you try to please them in hopes for a reward,

I cant think who we would all agree on trying to please or even how, even more so why a power that strong would notice us.

Sorry

I have a question.

If I take the feat "Improved Familiar", would it be alright if my familiar was one of the following? (I think these are of the appropriate strength etc. Based off the strengths of the example improved familiars...)

Lantern Archon
Stirge
Medium (Or small) Monstrous Spider
Large Viper

Lantern Archon = yes
Stirge = no (you have to be level 5)
Monstrous spider small = yes, medium = no
Large Viper = no / medium maybe

Also each familiar gives some sort of bonus to the master. So we would have to look into that and think about what sort of bonus you would receive.

Source 6 the stirge is the setting point for a level 5 familiar. Judging from its statistics you would not be able to use most of these at your level.

I want to allow the Lantern Archon because of the campaign setting. Though it would be more of a companion with probably more than a few demands or strongly voiced opinions to stay.

All of these decisions are negotiable and we can try and figure out what is fitting. Looking at the statistics of everything though this is how I feel.

I think I'll jump on the small monstrous spider. It was the main one I wanted, anyways. (Medium was desired mainly because of Web being able to raise or lower me. Also, I found a typo in my languages, I had written Draconic for some strange reason, instead of Sylvan.)

As for what sort of bonus it might give... Hide? Though I'd rather have Bluff, Hide or climb look to be what it's most likely to give. Hide, Climb, or Reflex Saves... Though I'd prefer Bluff.

Small monstrous spider works for me, maybe it can grow to medium once you reach level 5. I don't see how bluff is relatable, so it would be hide or climb as the bonus. I am leaning towards hide myself but its up to you.

Well, since I have a -4 on Climb checks from Strength, I'd say Hide works. Bluff doesn't really relate to any familiar, so one's as good as another for that skill, in my mind, and Bluff is sort of the Skill I'm focusing on the most, so I'm kind of looking for as many Bluff bonuses as I can get, heheh. Hide works too, though. Or rather, it doesn't hurt.

Quote from bluff skill information.

With this new information maybe you would like to change your familiar to a medium viper?

Again this would probably grow to a large viper at level 5.

Well... Sure. That works.

I still need to make 40gp before I can summon it, though. How much will these scrolls sell for?

EDIT: Wait... The monstrous spider has OTHER benefits as well. Darkvision and tremorsense, which it can use to alert me to the presense of enemies... How does Sylvan work? Can I talk to animals with it, or what?

I'm probably still gonna go for the viper, but... I don't know for sure yet. Scent is a pretty cool guy.
