VIII

VIII is Draven's second familiar, after VII took a one-way trip through the Ytaran teleportation network. Before he awakened it, it was a magic book in a hidden room of the library at Ginaron. It's a garish bright orange tome that is in fact a shield with a base bonus of zero, but provides a +1 deflection bonus, a +1 competence bonus to saves and +2 on all sense motive checks.
