[QUOTE="Ridley's Cohort, post: 2179725, member: 545"] I think the telling thing here is: That is about right. It is a metamagic feat that allows you to increase the CR by +2. In the case of SNA, that means you SNA [i]n[/i] spell becomes approximately as good as SNA [i]n+2[/i]. Obviously that is not true all the time, frex when you want a Unicorn to heal your party. But in raw fighting power, yes. I salivate at the thought of casting SNA III to bring 2-5 Greenbound Wolves, each which can lay down a Wall of Thorns, even if the WoT only lasts a few rounds. That is a astounding AoE for a low level spell. Compare with Augment Summoning. Two feats to boost the summoned creature by roughly CR +0.5. I think Voadam is on the right track. This would make a reasonable Epic feat. At that level the DR, energy resistances, and even the Wall of Thorns are somewhat minor boosts. It is a frighteningly powerful feat as is when you are <15th level. [/QUOTE]
