Summoning Fun

[ShneekeyTheLost]

Okay, friend of mine is wanting to run a Druid which is relatively low on the power scale so that he doesn't completely outshine the rest of the party.

So he's going to go Nature Summoning crazy.

I know about Augment Summoning and Cloudy Conjuration. Are there any other feats which would be good for a summoning-focused druid?

Definitely. First:
Greenbound Summoning [Lost Empires of Faerun] - Early levels, this is unbeatable. Cast Speak with Plants and you'll have Entangle-casters in addition to incredible fighters. Shines for about levels 1-10.
Ashbound [Eberron Campaign Settings] - Doubles Summon-duration and gives 'em a handy +3 Luck to Hit; absolutely stellar on low levels when duration is an issue; should be a level 1 feat if possible.
Rashemi Elemental Summoning [Unapproachable East] - Incredible on the higher levels; the Elementals have awesome SLAs and overall, this just rocks but only around ~9+.

Some of those. Then:
Rapid Spell [Complete Divine] - You need this to Summon as a standard action (and to be able to Quicken your Summons). This is Adjustment +1, but get Ring of the Beast [Complete Champion] and your summons will count as one level higher to the maximum of the max level you can cast, effectively freely getting rid of the +1 Level Adjustment.
Imbued Summoning [Player's Handbook II] - Handy +1 Adjustment Metamagic for free buff to your summons; with Metamagic School Focus [Complete Mage] to rid of you the adjustment 3/day, it's quite good (Venomfire [Serpent Kingdom] as an automatic buff for example...incredible with Poison-using creatures).


EDIT: Oh yeah, and Beckon the Frozen [Frostburn] is a handy +1d6 damage for all your summons. Just be careful with especially Greenbound and Rashemi Elemental that you don't make them too strong.

Greenbound Summoning (LEoF) and Rashemi Elemental Summoning (UE) are worth consideration.

Edit: Ninja'd.
