One question. The developers stated we could only have one active familiar at a time. That’s perfectly in tune with the new familiars, but what if the player assigns his/her cat or dog as a familiar? Will that block him/her from summoning other familiars at all, will the cat/dog temporarily lose its status as a familiar, or will he/she be allowed to have 2 active at a time (with one being a cat or dog)?
The way I understand it:
You can have as many familiars as you want bound to your Sim and summoning one of them to be active doesn't affect the status of the others.
So if you have, say, 3 of the Spellcaster familiars and one cat, they're all bound to you. Summoning the cat makes it active and will not change anything about the others bound to your Sim. Then when you summon one of the other familiars to be active, the cat returns to, well, being a cat. Still a familiar but no longer active.
An
active familiar is one that can deflect spells in battle and protect your SIm (and maybe other things which we don't yet know about).
But I'm still curious about cats and dogs: since the RoM familiars don't have needs & can't be controlled (other than being summoned), I wonder if cats and dogs that are made into familiars will lose their usual household spot & become like the RoM familiars. *chomps at the bit for more info*
