#18052, "On familiar size."


          

This probably has the incredibly simple answer of being for game balance issues but I'll ask it anyways.

I have been wondering why it is that conjurer familiars are human-sized? A pretty honest question since technically the familiars should be at least gnome-sized if not smaller. I mean, an owl, raven, and shadowcat the size of a human?

In the same vein, shifter forms are the same way. Although I guess it can be argued that when a shifter takes a form they actually become a giant version of that animal. That and what would be the point of giving them control translucence if they were unbashable in the first place, right?
