ING Homebrewn Campgian #1 Summoner class

[Ing]

Just some ideas throwing out. In my campaigns a popular house rule is that for Summon monster spells, summoning a particular creature is in of itself a unique spell. That means that if you want to summon 2 diffrent monsters from the Summon Monster I list, you have to learn the spell twice. To further this idea I made the summoner class.

Alignment: Any.

Hit Die: d4.
Class Skills

The Summoners's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Concentration (Con), Knowledge(planes) (Int), Animal Handling, Knowledge (all skills, taken individually) (Int), Profession (Wis), and Spellcraft (Int).

Skill Points at 1st Level: (3 + Int modifier) x 3

Skill Points at Each Additional Level: 1 + Int modifier.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: SUmmoners are proficient with the club, dagger, and any staff or simple polearm, but not with any type of armor or shield. Armor of any type interferes with a Summoner's movements, which can cause her spells with somatic components to fail.

Spellcasting: A Summoner can cast spells sponantiously. The total list of known spells is equal to that of a sorcerer of equal level.

could this be another summon astral ally I proposed a while ago? summon astral ally was a spell that summons a monster from the astral plane and if you knew the name of one of its denezins, you could summon it (drizzt clones get another thing to learn, just to summon that panther)

Summon Small Animal/ Summon Critter
Conjuration (summoning)
Level: Sor/Su/Wiz 0/
Components: S
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: 1 mile per level
Effect: you call and command one small creature
Duration: 15 minutes per level

Description
You call to your self a small creature, no larger than a large mouse or small rat and no smaller than a ant and give it a task to preform. The task is typicly a simple command (go to this place, chew through this, carry this to this place, inform me if anyone enters etc) as more complex commands cannot be grasped by the primative minds. The spell causes the creature to focus on the task for 15 minutes (or 3d10 minutes) per caster level. once the durration ends the creature looses interest and wanders off to follow it's basic nature

The animal cannot be ordered to deal lethal damage, or attack a target directly. An order that would clearly be self destructive to the animal will be ignored by it and it will try to preform the desired action to the best of its limited reasoning abilities without killing itself (yes even Lemmings)

no think more like FF summoner

I plan to introduce rules to make the summoned monster a manifestation of a Totem or ancestor or Genus or the like

Lesser bolster Summoned
Enchantment (Summoned)
Level: Su/2 W/So=3
Components: Focus/S
Casting Time: see bellow
Range: 100ft per level
Effect: summoned creature gains a +2 to AC and BAB
Duration: see bellow

Bolster Summoned
Enchantment (SUmmoned)
Level: Su4 W/So=5
Components: Focus/S
Range 100 feet per level+ see bellow
casting time: 1 round
effect Summoned creature gains a +4 to ac and BAB
Durration see bellow

Greater Bolster Summoned
Enchantment (Summoned)
Level: Su6 W/So=7
Components: Focus/S
range: 100 feet per level
Casting time: 2 rounds+ see bellow
effect: Summoned creature gains a +8 to AC and BAB


A summoned creature is infused with an aura of strength. it gains a bonus to AC and BAB. However, the effect requires constant focus by the caster. the Caster can make no other actions other than maintaining the spell or the effect ends immediatly. if attacked he must make a concentration check to maintain the spell, if he fails or acts to defend himself the spell ends. The caster is considered flat footed.

For normal and greater versions of this spell an additional round or two must be taken to prepare and draw the mystical energy, the effect begins at the end of the caster's turn

A permenancy spell causes the spell to become semi-permanent, the caster no longer needs to remain focused to maintain the effect and the spell lasts as long as the summoned durration.

[Moribundus]

IMO,
some of the augment summon stuff should be applicable for druids as well... esp the bolster summon stuff.

(i of course have no experience with balance and what not... but I know that my druids whould live to give bab/ac to his summoned dire apes...) (yay for rend!)

[Ing]

I may make it a Druid spell too but it would be at a higher level for them since they are already insanely powerful.

It might be powerful but is balanced by that it needs constant attention to maintain.

[Ing]

So I guess people either love or hate this...don't know which.
