I was on the Suggestions thread and it made me think of this topic which i was interested about.
Should Summons/Pets be privy to all the spells that PC's are privy to.
Now i believe if the pet or summon is a living & breathing entity, it probably should, however, it has always niggled at me when I see people healing Golems and casting spells like regeneration, stoneskin, barkskin...etc.
This is only my opinion and I welcome and feedback.
Cheers,

Well, golems with barkskin or stoneskin are fine, since those don't need any metabolism on the target's side. As for healing, on PnP D&D there is a series of spells that repair golems just like the cure ones heal humans. Perhaps clerics could have access to these on Layo, to explain RP-wise how Cure spells can heal golems.

Your familiar shares a very special bond with you... you SHOULD be concerned for its safety and not treat it as disposable. Wouldn't you feed your dog a healing potion if he got hit by a car and was bleeding to death? Especially a magic one, who often times licks your face and sends an empathic "I wuv you!" feeling down your arcanist spine. Sure the floating beholderkin might seem a little gross at first, but he's so cute kicking with his little eyestalks in his sleep while he floats there, dreaming of chasing fairies.

Haha exactly, I would think a Druid's animal companion, or a Wizard's familiar would more often than not be their best friend. They have been whenever I played them, at least.

Well, we all know that the Mithril golems are just squishy lovable hunks of flesh inside... So healing works. ;) Riiiight.
Lonnarin's got it dead-on, though.
