If I dual-class as a Kensai/Mage will I be able to get a familiar?

I was thinking of becoming a Kensai/Cleric but since only the main character can get a familiar I am thinking of doing that.

    You could get a familiar, yes (once you've dual-classed to mage). Note though that familiars are very vulnerable to death and don't normally therefore have a great impact on gameplay (you can stick them in your inventory to keep them safe, but they then do nothing beyond adding a few HPs to the PC).

    Cast it in ToB and you'll get a whooping +24 HP, twice as much as in Shadows of Amn.

    At least in the original edition. Depending on your alignment, you can also cast it earlier and use it as a thief to steal stuff or something, but otherwise they belong in your backpack yeah.

    You can get a familiar as a Kensai/Thief also, once you get Use Any Item!
