so i was skimming through the various monster manuals and other books, and noticing a bunch of monsters have information in their descriptions saying they can also be summoned as if they were on the list for summon monster [level].

wondering if anyone would know if there's a list of all such creatures, to save me from looking through all the books and writing down the additional summonable creatures, or if there's a rule or something i haven't seen that sets a groundwork for adding creatures to the summon monster charts?

HERE (http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/19872206/Legal_35_Summonable_Monster_List?num=10&pg=1)you go!

The author of that list also has several other resources (http://mxyzplk.wordpress.com/session-summaries/rise-of-the-runelords/valgrim-the-summoner/)for summoners on his webpage, as well as an extremely entertaining session summary for his adventures with his conjurer/malconvoker.

Also, quite a few useful links from the Malconvoker's handbook (http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=289.0), though I can never get the wizards board to work for me.

bless you sir, precisely what i was looking for, and the malconvoker link is great too, given it's the PrC i'm gone into with this character!

I get this every time I click a link to the WotC forums. :smallconfused:

My pleasure Vire :smallbiggrin: I love my conjurer, I hope you have fun with yours as well!

Thurbane, I have the same issues with the site. I wish I knew how to fix the problem :(

While you don't need to be a paid member to access WotC's website, you do have to complete a proper profile.

In the meantime, here's a list of summonable creatures from the post on WotC's site.





So as a value added service, here's the list of RAW monsters in Wizards books summonable with Summon Monster! Feel free and chime in with others I missed. (Or if there's some rule I'm missing which allows others...)

I also checked BoD, Draconomicon, the Complete series up through Scoundrel/Mage/Champion, the Races series, DMGII, ExpPsi, Heroes of Battle/Horror, Libris Mortis, Lords of Madness, Manual of the Planes, UA - nothing there.

A couple rule notes. Most of the MMV, FCII and the arrow demon specify "a evil spellcaster". I'd tend to argue that a malconvoker could as well with Deceptive Summons, it seems a redundant requirement since summoning evil creatures will turn you evil anyway.

Also, some of these specify replacing a choice. Many just note "you can summon them." It's unclear whether you have to replace something on your list with the new choices or whether they're just list extensions. Dragon Magazine notwithstanding, I don't see anything in the core rules about the SM lists being limited in size. So welcome to much larger SM lists!

By popular request, here's the lists by SM level!

Going Malconvoker, You should probably take a look at this... (http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=5573.msg184162)

Shameless plug. And only for evil outsiders so far, but I'm working on handbooks for other creature types. But anytime anybody asks a Summon Monster question I feel the need to chime in. I note whether or not it's legal is noted in the entry, but I've included all of them because the only difference between whether it's actually summonable according to RAW or "actually" summonable for your character is whether or not you ask the DM.
