Requires: Familiar

Your familiar has evolved into a powerful combat-capable spirit. While it still shares your stamina pool, it now manifests as one Scale smaller than yourself, rather than two. This changes its statistics as follows:

• Your familiar's speed increases by one.
• Their Stealth and Reflex defence are reduced by one.
• It is considered Trained in Unarmed Combat, and gains the Unarmed Training trait.
• If your familiar is struck for damage, reduce the damage inflicted by one point before any other defences are considered.

Your familiar is able to make a natural weapon attack, inflicting d6 damage. For purposes of determining damage, its Strength modifier is considered to be equal to your Spellcasting attribute.
