Are there are way to get rid of my familiar? It's stuck as a sword spider form and can't recast it's polymorph spell, I want it to morph to a teddy thus it can bash open locks :P

    Check it's special abilities if it can transform to normal form, or rest to wait for the spell to run out. You can also talk to it and place it in your pack, just press the talk button in the ui and click the familiar.

    I can't it's all greyd out, so it can't use any special abilities, else it would normally just morph back when the spell runs out, but it's massivly bugged!

    Then talk to it and place it in the pack and resummon it by right-clicking the item in the pack, then it should be reset.

    Nope, just comes out as a spider again, alredy tryed it. /sob!!!

    Killing it just gives me a -1 con ><

    Can you use it's polymorph spell again after resting? Or perhaps cast the Find Familiar spell again, but it might be that it only works once. And yeah, killing it is not recommended as you lose -1 con permanently.

    How did you polymorph it to a sword spider? I tested a LE familiar and they've needed the sword spider to a regular spider. I want my sword spider back!

    Rested a zillion times, nothing.

    Just use the Polymorph spell => use special ability => click Sword Spider icon!

    Oh is it just a normal spider in BGEE? That's a relief, the Sword Spider in BGT was totally OP.

    Its not a sword spider anymore in BGEE, its a regular spider, at least on my Imp.

    That's actually a relief, do you still get the grey ooze?

    You still get the 100% magic resistance ooze so its still useful, but on the familiar at least the sword spider was changed to a regular useless spider, and the haste removed. In ooze form though I still killed Firebead with my LE Imp, but do do that you need to start as a mage, wheras my actual main character will be dual classing from a swashbuckler.

    But the OP is somehow getting a sword spider? Maybe it scales with level.

    Why? Have you not found any Find Familar scrolls yet? I'm going to play as a fighter/mage multi, so was going to take this as a pick anyway, though probably Neutral Evil for RP reasons (and more HP from the familair until TOB)

    That would be quite cool, if true, it's not so OP at higher levels

    Regarding scrolls for Find Familiar:

  • HexHammerHexHammer Member Posts: 288

    LE fam has a hidden regen, you can see the high lvl stats at BG 2 chart.

    It's for the best, a hasted sword Spider would be so OP in BG1 (as is the Grey Ooze, really)
