What do your planewalkers do with their Animal Companions & Familiars while they travel to places like the El. Plane of Water or Air when they need to deal with swimming or flying. A Hawk would have problems underwater and a flying bear makes me laugh.

Polymorph them into something else or use movement spells like fly or overland flight. Otherwise, dump it into a familiar pocket or something.

Your opponents will laugh too, giving your character the advantage! The flying bear assures victory!

If you plan on keeping your companion or familiar close and you are doing the casting, you can share whatever spell you cast on yourself with your familiar.

Doesn't everyone just ignore the familiars most of the time, especially in odd environments, pulling them out when they become useful?

Like Vaarsuvius?

- Don't you have a familiar that grants Alertness?
- Hm? Oh, yes, yes of course. My raven is right here.
*pop*
- See anything?
- I do not.
*pop*
