Making our own Familiar...
I had a thought...What about making our own familiars by carving a small hand carved statue from quartz crystal and using a stone to flesh spell than the breath of life, indowl/teach it certain abilities, and then cast the spell familiar on it.

HP, SDC, would it require food, or even have organs, etc?
Re: Making our own Familiar...
I doubt stone to flesh then breath of life would work to make it work. Look what you have to go through to get just a golem moving. The creature wouldn't have a brain, internal organs. Its would just be a chunk of steak that breath of life would do nothing too. (Would probably taste good if cooked with a nice shiraz and some garlic and some wild rice)
Conjurers however could probably do it.

This is covered in the Rifter article that expands the TtGD familiar mod. text.

I don't think it will work to create a familiar, though it could create a Zombie-Like creature based on precedent set in Elemental Magic.
Warlocks have a spell chain with forks in it allowing three outcomes: zombie-like or golem-like (stone/iron). It is mentioned under "Sculpt & Animate Clay Animals" (PF2E pg232, Level 7 Earth Element Magic), the Zombie-Like creature requires "Stone to Flesh", they all require "Clay to Stone" and "Breath of Life".

Re: Making our own Familiar...
I'd allow it as kind of a cool idea.

I'm with Mark. It's not something I would have thought of. I'd allow it based on the clever use of spells.

Re: Making our own Familiar...
The fact that it's carved from quartz or jade would make it a bit of a rarity, and also possibly extra SDC and or HP. Figure what, at least 1D6 for quarts and 1D4 for jade per cubic inch, or there abouts?
