#4533, "Familiars"
Edited on Sun 13-Mar-16 07:38 PM

Why do familiars not seem to have any resistance to power word kill? I've had my familiar killed at least 3 times by various necromancers with this spell on the first try, every time. Is this a game mechanic that I should just try and avoid or is there something I can do to prevent it, other than just not walking around with my familiar?
Edit:
Familiars also do not yell if they're hit with this spell in Town. Seems like they'd at least let out a death knell.

Pwk, at least when perfected, is a guaranteed kill on anything that cons as easy match or below. That includes familiars.
Secret is not to let your familiar get jumped by necros. That's not hard.
It's just a weakness of a familiar.
At the same time, you have the tools to be a complete pain in the butt for necros.

Absolutely. Conjurer would be the last thing I'd want to make enemies with as a necro.

Nothing too specific I guess.

Why would a familiar be lower level than the caster? Aren't all other conjured creatures at least the level of the conjurer?

All of your conjured creatures are extraplanar beings that you're summoning to this Plane, binding to do your will, and have a solid chance to kill you if you screw this up and/or piss them off enough after binding them.
Familiars are sort of the opposite. You're summoning a much weaker creature, not nearly as powerful for fighting, but one that won't even kill you or even attack you. Instead, most of them have grant perks to your character (extra detects, able to "sorta" be in two places at once) - and some even more perks when directly in your presence. In exchange, they themselves are often a vulnerability that you now have to protect when enjoying these perks. Power word kill, with that particular level difference, tends to become the most obvious vulnerability.
