Keeping Combat Familiars Alive Cost-Benefit and Value Considerations in Choosing Familiars

Now that we’ve explored all of the combat and non-combat abilities of Summoning familiars in general terms, we’re almost ready to dive into discussions of each individual familiar. To help you get the most of the detailed familiar descriptions section, I have provided this summary section that contains useful overview and reference data.

The first topic here covers a very important issue: cost/benefit analysis of familiars. If you haven’t encountered that term before, it simply means comparing what a familiar costs to buy or make and to use, with the benefit or reward it provides. This page will give you the tools you need to go beyond just reading my views on familiars, so you can decide for yourself which of them most suit your gameplay style. I highly recommend reading it!

The other three pages contain handy reference material. This includes an explanation of the summary tables that list the attributes of each familiar, a quick reference guide showing all the familiars’ key stats for easy comparison, and finally, a quick ranking of all the familiars, explaining why I like or dislike each one.
