BG: Upgraded familiars
#1

In my personal mini-mod, I've given all the
good-aligned: Bless,Sanctuary,Slow Poison,Cure Disease,Remove Paralysis,Zone of Sweet Air,Cure Serious Wounds,Defensive Harmony,Protection from Evil 10',Lesser Restoration
neutral aligned: 99% Pickpocket, 99% Stealth, 99% Open Locks, 99% Detect Traps, casts Luck, Non-detectable by divination when stealthing
evil-aligned: Shield,Mirror Image,Invisibility,Blindness,Spook,Ray of Enfeeblement,Slow,Confusion,Greater Malison
Unbalanced, I know. If I mess with it again, I'll nerf it a bit and change each familiar to have a unique upgrade - like giving the Fairy Dragon just illusionary buffs, and parsing out the traps/locks/pickpocket to ferrets and stealthing/detect illusions/true seeing to cats. Before I do, has anyone done anything similar? It also might be fun to change the dust mephit (booooring) into something like a radiant or fire mephit. I'm sure you guys have seen the other FAMs not used.
Thanks!

However, it's a good idea to work on those... making them more talkative would also be a nice idea... you know, maybe timered talks as with NPCs? More dialogue options etc?

Some googling resulted in a thread at Bioware forums:
http://forums.biowar...623427&forum=17
some "Useful Familiars" mod is mentioned there, but link is dead now.
I've also found some discussion on altering familiars that you might find useful:

but that is all I could find.
I believe many people would want to make some use of their familiars as current ones are only worth summoning for additional hp and then spend the rest of their lifes in invetories.

Thanks!
EDIT: scratch that, the familiars from NWN (pseudo and fairy dragon) look terrible resized so small. I need portraits that are more face, less body.
