Hello,

I read that other question and wonder, is it a necessity that the familiar be of the same alignment of my char?

Could a Lawful Good char have a Chaotic Evil Familiar? (In matters of RP)

Thank you, alogen

The summoning of a familiar is a ritual which draws on a creature of a compatible nature to the spellcaster. A lawful good caster with a chaotic evil familiar makes no sense. A lawful good caster with a true neutral familiar could make sense, however. I would say your familiar should never be more than two steps removed from your own alignment, and preferably no more than one step removed.

(Chaotic good to lawful good is two steps, as is chaotic evil to true neutral. Chaotic good to chaotic neutral would be one step.)

Thanks
