Re: Powered Animals [Fantasy/Powers/Supers]
Familiars are good examples of powered animals, but there are difference between familiars. Familiars in the D20 systems are just cool animals. Familiars in the oWoD were often equals to the PCs. I generally prefer powerful familiars over weak familiars (a witch's cat will be equal to the witch in my games).
In the former case, they are probably 6-12 CP (25%-50%; Constant; Special Abilities, +50%). In the latter case, they are probably 30-60 CP (100%-150%; Constant; Special Abilities, +50%). In either case, their capabilities are dependent on the power level of the PCs (an insignificant familiar of a 500 CP PC is going to be more powerful than anew equal familiar of a 100 CP PC).
