KarinsDad, be thankful Gaze attacks don't work thru the dimension of cyberspace.....
What i"ve found, playing a druid:Scion said:From my experience summon monsters are great for utility use (they have a ton of cool abilities) and to help other characters (summon them to pop traps or flank or whatever, being able to summon 5 and make it so that everyone is flanking and lots of aoos would be provoked to get out of the situation is pure gold) but very poor in straight combat except in special circumstances.
Scion said:Note that even if one could prove that astral construct is better in every way than every single summon monster that still would not prove that astral construct is overpowered.
It also would not prove that summon monster is underpowered.
From my experience summon monsters are great for utility use (they have a ton of cool abilities) and to help other characters (summon them to pop traps or flank or whatever, being able to summon 5 and make it so that everyone is flanking and lots of aoos would be provoked to get out of the situation is pure gold) but very poor in straight combat except in special circumstances.
The astral construct also goes away sooner than the summon monster, which I'd imagine would matter now and then, especially at low levels.
It is a tough call. It all depends on what you want to compare with and then the resources that it takes whether or not it is balanced in use.
