I like magic items that summon monsters. Especially when the monsters just show up and aren't magically compelled to obey their summoner.It's a fun mechanic.
>>96494498This should have been a comment in a general, retard.
>>96494498decanter of endless water is great for setting up ideal summoning conditions>>96497369generals are fake & gay
>>96494498There should be a clear distinction and power disparity between a summon you create and summon versus a creature you call to you. This should also apply to spirits and other forms of undead.
>>96497688so, traditional summons like>summon wolf pack>summon grizzly bearwould be standard summoning spells, ofc what i reffered above doesnt come from anywhere in particular if you're asking for source.but you'd also want some kind of spell like>Create Summon Spellthat would let you create a creature of your own liking using templates, like the types of strikes it can do>slashing claws>crushing bite>tentacle grab>magic projectileas well as some kind of major magical effect, a minor magical effect and a exploitable flaw to close it out.
>>96494498It is, but it's Rod of Wonder nonsense rather than a good idea. It's hard to make adding combatants into a sound mechanic, which is one reason D&D has never been able to get summoners or necromancers right.>>96497973I think he means there should be a clear difference between mindless expendable mooks and a foreign entity you are theoretically allied with.
okayput those in your games then
