Familiars in Donjon

[joe_llama]

I was getting nostalgic about the days "back then, when we used to roleplay with no boundaries" (today we don't play at all), so I decided to buy Donjon and play it with my old group.

One of the players in my group created a Gandalf-like character and he wants one of his Supporting Abilities to be a wizard's familiar, like a raven or imp.

How would you handle this? Is there a way to have the familar as a Supporting Ability or should it be a whole new character/NPC?

Cheers,
Nadav

If you have any other advanced thoughts on the subject I'd still like to hear about it :)

I'm still a very big fan of "finding" an animal companion like you would treasure. This establishes its abilities, and its Worth, which allows the GM to destroy it.
