Description
The Corrupted familiar is the result of a powerful wizard, sorcerer, or warlock making the transition into the state of undeath, fiendishness, or aberration while in possession of a familiar companion. The familiar becomes corrupted by the magic that transforms and sustains its master.
The familiar becomes much more intelligent, and its link with its master becomes more powerful. Corrupted familiars often act as agents and spies for their master, and will take care of lesser errands like dispatching messages to lesser minions, and dealing with minor problems like low level adventurers.
The corrupted familiar is a template that can be applied to any Tiny Beast by adding the Necrotic Poison, Corrupted Familiar, and Necrotic Touch traits and action to it. And also increasing its AC by two points, and increasing its INT, WIS, and CHR to 14. The corrupted familiar also gains the ability to understand and speak all the languages its master knows.
