Hello fellow giants!

One of my players has expressed interested in using the Conjure Ice Beast spells with his cleric character and I'm not really looking forward to the idea of statting the little critters out (nor the not-so-little ones) one by one.

I know common courtesy would have the player do the accounting in this case and come to the session with full stats for the various summons, but I thought I'd at least attempt to save either or us the work and see if anyone had or knew of an already compiled list of templated ice beasts that can be summoned via the aforementioned spells. Please :)

this is the best i got for conjure icebeast, 5th post down

playing a summoner of any type always requires some book work, use index cards for your most commonly summoned critters for easy reference, with all the stats and bonus' if any already calculated.
during combat, if your player has to book dive have him do it on the other players turns, so when its his turn, he's ready to go to keep the game going as smoothly as possible.

have enuf extra tokens or minatures available for when and where summons pop up, seperate dice laid out for each critter on the board makes it go smother sometimes, it takes prep work, but keeping the game going smoothly makes the effort worth it

I know someone (or a few people) created a compendium of Fiendish and Celestial templated creatures for the Summon monster line of spells, but I'm not aware of any such equivalent for Ice beast.

Would be great if there was one, through.

As well as the above linked Summoners Desk Reference, this also has a decent listing of Summonable Monsters: https://web.archive.org/web/20151031083740/http://community.wizards.com/forum/previous-editions-character-optimization/threads/1134896

Sorry folks, I may not have explained myself well enough: I am not looking for a list of monsters that can be summoned via CIB, as that's hardly much work to put together, but rather a list of their statblocks, to avoid having to either write them all down by scratch or to have to constantly cross-reference both the hippogriff (https://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/hippogriff.htm)'s statblock as well as the ice beast template throughout fights.

In short, I am not looking for a list where entries look like this:

- Wolf (MM or SRD)
But rather one where entries look like this:

Ice beast wolf

BAB/Grapple: +1/+2

Special attacks: Cold aura (1d6) or engulf (Reflex DC 12) or frigid touch (1d6) or ice breath (1d6, Reflex DC 11 half)
Special qualities: Construct traits, darkvision 60 ft., cold subtype

We know what you want. We're giving you what we have available.
Casters require a bunch of bookkeeping as you already know. Summoners even more so, which you again already know. Templated summons even more. You both are just going to have to hunker down and stat them out.
Have your player pick out a few summons that they'll want to use and stat those. Have him keep reference material ready at hand in case the situation in game calls for a different creature.
