[QUOTE="Dog Moon, post: 1795439, member: 23023"] I have never actually used a Summon spell before or really thought about it, so I really appreciate the input. I was thinking of a spell from some book when I thought of the idea for summoning ally PCs and I finally found it. It's from a Monte Cook book called Skreyn's Register: The Bonds of Magic Volume 1: Cabal. Here it is: I Summon My Brother Conjuration (Summoning) [Chaotic, Evil] Level: Sor/Wiz 5 As summon monster V, except as noted above. The spell calls one of two particular creatures named Kalkarn and Virat. Both are half-fiend human chaotic evil 6th-level fighters, brothers to the sorcerer Handrath. If Kalkarn and Virat are ever truly killed—not just slain while summoned—this spell no longer has any effect. Unlike the “Summoning Individual Monsters” variant rule on page 96 of the DMG, the caster cannot replace the slain creature with a new one. The person with the spell is a 10th level Sorcerer. This is technically supposed to be used for the NPC and his two brothers, but why can there not be a summon spell which allows the Summoner to target the other PCs in the group? It would only take a little modification of this spell... This would assume that Summon Nature's Ally (which I don't know if it would technically work or not ; maybe it would only summon druids? :D ) or other summons don't work. Also, Summon Monster says an extraplanar creature. I don't see where it says that extraplanar creature actually has to be on another plane... [/QUOTE]
