    Hmm did your familiar die at any point? You are supposed to get 12 hp from your familiar.

    For the imp familiar this is normal. It only has 9 HP IIRC (and thus gives you only 4)

    Oh my bad. I forgot that BG1 familiars only have 12 (or 9 for Imp) hit points, so getting 6 or 4 bonus hp from them is totally normal.

    @Yamcha are you sure? I'm pretty sure that the Imp is the only familiar with lower hp than normal.

    Pretty much, I checked just a few days ago because I wanted to check on my multi-class starting HP

    Since the Imp is the only familiar that can cast a 4th level spell (Polymorph Self), I suppose they had to nerf it in some way that would balance out the others.
