So, I've been mulling it over, and this seems like an easy thing to implement.

I've been tired of carrying around all sorts of talismans, so what if we had a worn item, like a baldric, or belt, or chain, that you could insert talismans into? Not like a container, where you have to fetch the item again. But something that had several slots open, that revel the talisman to the open. This could provide easy access to reach out and touch each individual talisman to summon/command without actually having to scour your inventory for the wanted talisman.

a tooled leather talisman baldric

>summ panther
You reach your hand across your baldric and find your panther talisman. You press your fingers forcefully against the talisman and concentrate on summoning your panther.

After a moment's silence a russet panther appears and glances up at you expectantly.

Any other opinions?

Welcome to the limbo that is Famliars. At least they've gotten more development than Companions!

But that's a nice idea. It might sidestep the 'major technical hurdles' cited for mortally wounding the 'one talisman' plan.

I don't think you appreciate how complex the familiar code is. I don't think you could get any GMs to say that anything would be easy to implement in that.

Always a chance it's a quick solution no one thought of.

This would be almost like a belt-frog for a talisman.

I dig it but fams are on the back burner far as I can tell.

There is no War Mage front burner, I'm afraid.

But our back burner is pretty loaded?

...hum, this gives me pause, don't items like that... not play well together?
