Summon object
At level one, a supplier gains the ability to summon small objects to him from the nearby area. He must make a concentration check of Dc5+1 for every 250yards above its area of summoning away the object he wishes to summon is +1 for every pound over 2lbs it weighs -1 for every supplier level the caster possesses. If this test succeeds the object he wishes to summon is called to him and he can make it appear at ground level any where within 5ft of himself. This is a magical effect, and can be prevented by any magic repelling effects. The object cannot be living and cannot be magical. An object transported can be followed by a successful track check. Depending in the object the Dc changes. Use Dm’s discretion.

Enhanced summoning
At level 3 a supplier add +10 to the dc of a summon object check and move either a magical or living object using this ability. The Dc still increases due to size and weight. A living being moved using summon object must be willing or the ability has no effect.

Improved summoning
At 8th level any object summoned using summon object cannot be tracked in any non-magical way. The supplier also gets a +4 to all summon object checks.

Material power
At 12th level a supplier who summons a weapon using the summon object class ability may try and improve the weapon in some way. The caster must make a will save of Dc25. If this is successful the weapon gains a +4 enhancement bonus to hit as long as it was transported from at least 50ft away, if not the weapon becomes a mangled pile of metal and is useless. This does not stack with other bonuses which the weapon has.

Master of Summoning
Any Item the supplier summons becomes masterwork. If the item was already masterwork this has no effect. The supplier may now summon living or magical objects without a penalty and living objects must now under go a dc20 will save or be transported even if they didn’t want to be. They may choose to fail this save.


Someone in my D&D group wants to play this. I feel its over powered. So any suggestions to make it less over powered or am i just being paranoid?

Edit: Also tables hate me

[jlousivy]

Un-attended greatsword+5 from a magic shop---- he summons it.

3 bonus feats + summoning does not equal familiar + 5 feats.

So you were right in thinking it was overpowered. Also does a supplier have to have a spellbook? also does he know all spells or limited?

material power.... fighter throws plain rusty dagger 51 feet away, wizard summons it and hands it to the fighter
Duration on this ability? or should the wizard buy a ton of weapons and place them 51 feat away and start summoning away selling for a giant profit?

[onasuma]

As we can see, overpowered. i need to think of a way to stop that happening and i just can't think of one. He does however have to know the exact location of the object to summon it and can't just hope theres a +12 rapier in the viciety

[jlousivy]

He has divination spells from being a wizard, no more needing to worry about that!
Really he seems to want to be a wizard with the summoning feature seen in harry potter. What i'd do is simply homebrew some summon spells.

See spell-Instant summons it's lvl 7 and it does what he wants but it doesn't have a range limit, but it does have a pretty high cost.

edit: is it also a typo that he recieves 3+int skills/level after 1st?

[Demented]

The homebrewed spells would probably be a good idea.


Though the idea of a class whose sole purpose is to summon mundane objects for whatever purpose is funny!

Left my keys in the car? Summon! Lost one of my contacts in the dirt? Summon! Fell off of my boat? Summon! A life jacket, that is, not the boat. Forgot my passport? Summon! Thief stole my wallet? Summon! Speaking of theivery, one could always summon money from other people's wallets, or food from the local store... or even summon a weapon right out of your enemy's hands. How humiliating would that be?

[Forai]

How about putting in "If the object is in a shop, the money is automatically deducted from the closest money point to you." a.k.a. If you go into your house the money's deducted from anything ON you first, then on anything near you... However that creates problems of "LAWL I'M IN A BANK, I WANT TO SUMMON A DRAGON-MAIL ARMOUR" and not only did you just shoplift that way, but you stole from a bank...


The only other thing I can suggest is if the above is in effect, the coinage must be in your hand or against a coin ON your hand.

[Demented]

Oh, the stealing problem is easy.

Add "The owner of the item, if any, immediately knows the item has been summoned and its location."

Sure, you can steal the level 12 prismatic burst longsword. Just remember to be very apologetic when you have to give it back to the level 24 Barbarian Half-Giant you stole it from.

is it also a typo that he recieves 3+int skills/level after 1st?

I assume so
