When a Familiar Spirit takes the form of a Squirrel, the form is about 10 to 12 inches long, with a bushy tail only an inch or two shorter and it weighs between 1 and 2 lbs on average. Squirrels are very aware of their surroundings and gain a +5 modifier too their Perception skill rolls to account for this. Squirrels grant their bonded spell casters a +2 to their Perception skill rolls, and a very unique ability. Three times a day, the bonded spell caster may activate this ability. The spell caster has 7 Activity Points (AP) in the round after activation. However, in the round following the one with 7 AP, the spell caster only has 3 Activity Points. This is the recovery round. This ability may not be activated during the recovery round.
