Not the black bearded walrus hunting kind of manwhore?<br/><br/>Pact of the tome is a personal fav since you can get shillelagh druid cantrip to become a decent melee if you took medium armored (there was some feat that'd let you wear medium armor and use shields) and it also lets you later get summon familiar ritual spell. However, I guess if you want a familiar straight away better go with pact. You can refluff pets and everything else as you please yesh.
