[Feat]: Choices for Fiendish Summoning Specialist?

[killem2]

I am a focused specialist (spell gifted trait also), conjurer. I took the Fiendish Summoning Specialist feat, because I will be going deep into Malconvoker.


I will probably be level 3 by the end of my next session (Feb 2nd), and wanted to know if you all had any suggestions?


This is the feat in question:

[h=2]Fiendish Summoning Specialist[/h] ( Planar Handbook, p. 39)

[General]

You can select from a larger number of options when summoning evil creatures.
[h=4]Prerequisite[/h] Knowledge (the planes) 2 ranks, Knowledge (religion) 2 ranks, ability to cast any summon monster spell, Nongood alignment,
[h=4]Benefit[/h] Add one evil-aligned creature to the list of creatures for each summon monster spell that you can cast. (Work with the DM to select creatures appropriate to the spell's list of summonable creatures.) Each time you gain the ability to cast a new summon monster spell, you may add one evil-aligned creature to the list.
[h=4]Normal[/h] Without this feat, adding a creature to your summoning list requires you to remove one that is already on the list.

I am unsure of where the question is.

Are you asking if we suggest you take this feat?

Are you asking if we think this feat is any good?

Are you asking which evil-aligned creatures you should add to your list?

Are you asking how to have the conversation with your DM about approving the use of this feat, and negotiating which evil creatures you should add to your list?

I did some searching to find the source of this feat, Planar Handbook p.39, got it. It is helpful for me to have the source cited when considering feat suggestions, so I know if it's Homebrew or not, and have the context of the book it's from.

...I can answer the "Is this feat any good" question right away in saying that the wording of this feat allows you a ton of flexibility. Just how useful it is comes down to what your DM is willing to allow, but if you can do some fancy negotiating, you could end up with some very nice creatures added to your list, making this feat potentially very powerful.
