My impression is that they do (the templated ones given in the Planar Handbook explicitly do) but I figured I should check.http://community.wizards.com/coco/go/thread/view/76173/29010175/Random_questions_thread?post_id=520707207#520707207Also, do Celestial/Fiendish versions of standard familiars grant the same bonuses?

At higher levels I think I would still switch out for a better one, but getting DR on it at ECL 4 would be cool. The bonus to Smite is nice, too, even if it doesn't amount to much.http://community.wizards.com/coco/go/thread/view/76173/29010175/Random_questions_thread?post_id=520707125#520707125OK, well that makes Celestial/Fiendish familiars actually OK, then.
