Editing Familiar (section)

==Deadlands==
In the [[Deadlands]] roleplaying game, having a Familiar is a 5-point Huckster-only [[Edge]] found in the splatbook ''Hucksters and Hexes''. With this Edge, the huckster forms a spiritual and mental link with a single small animal - no bigger than a medium-sized dog. The familiar's presence boosts the huckster's ability to manipulate magical energy, giving them a +1 to Hexcasting rolls. However, if it's slain, that spiritual link causes a huge backlash; the Huckster must make an Incredible (11) Vigor check or be Stunned until they can pass it, and even after they shake off the stunning, they suffer a -2 modifier to all Trait and Aptitude rolls for the next 1d6 days.

Add in that it costs ''triple'' the Bounty Points ''and'' a month of study ''and'' a Fair (5) Academia: Occult roll to replace a dead familiar, you better be treating it right, partner!
