[3.5] Other Summoning Spells

[Thurbane]

So, quick question: what other type of creature Summoning spells are out there besides Summon Monster and SNA?

I'm aware of the Summon Undead and Summon Desert Ally lines, and also Summon Giants.

What else is out there?

Specifically looking for Summoning spells that summon creatures, and not Calling spells or spells that summon objects or other things...

Cheers - T

"Any of these Subschools" -> click only Summoning, leave all other fields alone, then hit Search at the bottom.

You'll get a few false positives (e.g. "Abyssal Might") but overall it's a great starting list.

I believe Kingdoms of Kalamar had the Summon Fey spell also.

Cool, thanks. Won't be including KoK, Dragon or similar sources at the moment.

Does this list look complete?

Excellent, thanks.

Along the same lines as Child of Winter, the Wild Soul PrC gives a Summon Seelie Ally SLA which can summon a lot of non-standard creatures, and also substitute those creatures onto your Summon Monster lists.

Conjure Ice Beast? They're creation but unless you want to use these spells with augment summoning, they're no different than the standard conjuration spells.

I looked at those, but specifically looking at Summoning for my purposes.

[flappeercraft]

There is a spell called Summon Marked Homunculus from Dragonmarked.

Edit: Just noticed it was on your list actually. Ignore this post

Fire Spiders (Spell Compendium, originally in MoF)

[Darrin]

Summon Mirror Mephit (Expedition to the Demonweb Pits p. 209).

[Vizzerdrix]

Forgive me. My meds are kicking in and I am about to go to bed. I will give as good of a description as I am able atm.

I remember seeing a spell that summoned a gelatinous cube, and another that summoned a plant critter that used the ghoul stats, but was aplant instead pf undead. Dont remember the books though. It may have been a faerun book.

Drago mag- the line of far relm spells you get from messing with a blot/blight. That had a few neat summons in it.

I also know pf some 3pp summons. One is a cantrip version of SNA. You get tiny things with a quarter hd. Another summons small tools.

Engulfing Terror is in DotU. It's Creation though, not Summoning.

[Thurbane]

Fire Spiders (Spell Compendium, originally in MoF)

From how I read the spell, you are summoning an effect that is fluffed as creatures, rather than actually summoning a creature?

Damn, would have been perfect otherwise.

Well, it says you summon 'spider shaped fire elementals', so they're affected by things that hedge out summoned creatures and extraplanar beings. But mechanically, yeah, it's basically a crappy over-leveled version of things like Flaming Sphere or Spiritual Weapon - 4 spell levels for marginally increased damage and being partially self-directed if you don't feel like spending a move action on it.
