[RPG] Have Two Familiars

familiarsgestaltpathfinder-1e

I am playing a gestalt game as a Wizard/Alchemist. The Wizard gains a familiar via Arcane Bond, and the Alchemist gains a familiar through the Tumor Familiar discovery.

Does the fact that the familiars are coming from two different classes with differently named abilities legitimately grant me two familiars?

Best Answer

No, you do not get 2 different familiars. Familiar levels stack.

From the Familiars entry:

Levels of different classes that are entitled to familiars stack for the purpose of determining any familiar abilities that depend on the master's level.

You can though have a familiar and an animal companion (but remember PFS rules only allow for one combat companion at a time). From same source:

Only a normal, unmodified animal may become a familiar. An animal companion cannot also function as a familiar.
