A 20th level wizard with the entire Eldritch Heritage (Arcane) Chain


Rules Questions


So, I am making a wizard and I want the Greater Eldritch Heritage feat for the School Power ability.

What I need to know is: since I have the arcane bond (familiar) and I have effectively 40 levels of wizard for it, what happens? Anything?


Nothing AFAIK either you would either

A. Get a second familiar that checks the feat tree for its levels.

B. You can't choose familiar since you already have one.

Officially, nothing.

No, the pseudo-sorcerer's arcane bloodline familiar levels explicitly stack with the wizard ones. So you could get a 20th level equivalent familiar by 10th level ("ish," actually 11th).

But after that point, it kinda tops out.

A generous GM might allow you to get higher intelligence and natural armor. The extra 20 levels would equate to a +10 on both following the table. So your little bunny rabbit would have hide a rhino would envy and an intelligence in the 20s.

Nothing at all. You have two overlapping copies of the same ability. Which means you're still counted as "just" a 20th level wizard. Nor can you use this to have both a familiar and an arcane bond item.


But your save or lose spells are gonna ace it:)
