Tumor Familiar (Su)
Benefit
The
Alchemist creates a Diminutive or Tiny tumor on their body, usually on their back or stomach. As a
Standard Action, the
Alchemist can have the tumor detach itself from their body as a separate creature vaguely resembling a kind of animal suitable for a
Familiar (bat, cat, and so on) and move about as if it were an independent creature. The tumor can reattach itself to the
Alchemist as a
Standard Action. The tumor has all the abilities of the animal it resembles (for example, a batlike tumor can fly) and
Familiar abilities based on the
Alchemist’s
Caster Level (though some
Familiar abilities may be useless to an
Alchemist). The tumor acts as the
Alchemist’s
Familiar whether attached or separated (providing a skill bonus, the
Alertness feat, and so on). When attached to the
Alchemist, the tumor has
Fast Healing 5. An
Alchemist’s extracts and mutagens are considered spells for the purposes of
Familiar abilities like share spells and deliver touch spells. If a tumor
Familiar is lost or dies, it can be replaced 1 week later through a specialized procedure that costs 200 gp per
Alchemist level. The ritual takes 8 hours to complete.
