Pathfinder Summon Monster

[tehhoods]

For Pathfinder, the monsters you summon get the celestial/fiendish templates but I can't find them. I tried looking in the Bestiary but the closest thing I could find were the half-celestial/fiend ones. Should I use these or not?


Also, is there a Pathfinder only forum? If so, please tell me where.

Celestial and fiendish are templates that you add to creatures. When you summon a "celestial badger," you just use the stats for a regular badger, and add the celestial template to it.

The celestial and fiendish templates are very simple, I think. Two energy resistances and smite evil/good once per day, I believe?

Also, real-world animals are in their own section. You won't find badger by looking in the B's.

There is no PF-only forum, to my knowledge. Pathfinder-only topics usually have [PF] in them.

Here (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/templates/celestial-creature) are the details for celestial creatures. Animals are located here. (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/indexes-and-tables/monsters-by-type#type-animal)

Thanks, the links really helped me. I have a player in our group who wants to play a summoner and needed something to reference.

Here's (http://www.pathfinderdb.com/gamemaster-tools/game-aids/1315-summon-monster-cards)one that's even better.
Cards include bonuses from templates and also augment summoning. :smallsmile:

Try the monster advancer. (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-advancer) Its great for getting stats on summons, especially if you call one you don't normally use. Just check the boxes for celestial/infernal and augment summoning if you have it.

I use it for my master summoners, though I try to keep the stats handy for the go-to summons.

The Pathfinder SRD website contains monster entries for summoned monsters that includes the bonus they get if they're fiendish/celestial, as well as what their attacks would be if you took the augment summoning feat, so I recommend checking that out :smallsmile:
