The Deathless Summoner, is a being who works for the good of all the positive energy planes. Though due to their summoning of beings similar to the undead, they are often viewed as no less then a Necromancer. Despite being viewed this way, Deathless Summoners work in secret to allow heroes to continue their quests. They themselves often are heroes who have their own goals and quests as well, that they will continue to full fill even in Deathless life. Deathless Summoners mirror a Dread Necromancer in nearly every way, though they channel positive Energy rather then negative.
Abilities:
Charisma determines how powerful a spell a Deathless Summoner can cast, how many spells she can cast per day, and how hard those spells are to resist. Like a sorcerer or wizard, a Deathless Summoner benefits from high Dexterity and Constitution scores.
Race:
Same as Cleric
Alignment:
A Deathless Summoner must be of a Good or Neutral Alignment. if they willing switch to Evil they lose all their abilities, though they canuse their levels to be used as equivalent levels if they were to become Dread Necromancers. IF they unwillingly become evil, they can attempt to gain their abilities back with an Atonement spell. Same can be said for a Dread Necromancer, Their levels can be used to equal a Deathless Summoner, however when they take a level of Deathless summoner they lose their link to the Negative Energy like a Deathless Summoner would lose their link to Positive Energy.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency:
A Deathless Summoner is proficient in all simple weapons and 1 martial of their choosing. This must be done at level 1 and can not be changed. A Deathless Summoner is also able to wear light armors but no shields. the Deathless's spells come from a divine source and thus do not incur normal spell failure while wearing proficient armor.
Spellcasting:
A Deathless Summoner, castes from a Divine source, even if they do not worship a god, they are aligned to positive Energy itself. Like a Sorcerer they can caste any spell they know without having to prepare ahead of time. When a Deathless Summoner gains access to a new level of spells they automatically know all the spells of that list. Due to having a small list to choose from they can expand as they level with Advanced learning. To cast a spell, a Deathless summoner must have a Charisma score of 10 + the spell’s level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a dread necromancer’s spell is 10 + the spell’s level + her Charisma modifier. Like other spellcasters, a Deathless Summoner can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. Her base daily spell allotment is givenBelow. In addition, she receives bonus spells for a high Charisma score (see Table 1–1 on page 8 of the Player’s Handbook).
