Item that summons

Is there an item that summons a small elemental?? (specifically fire)

I know there are similar items that summon animals and vermin but i haven't seen one for an elemental.

If i have to custom make it what do you think it should be worth, how many times a day usable, how many rounds should the summons last??

A scroll or wand of Summon Natures Ally or Summon Monster III allows you to summon a small elemental (or other monster if you prefer).

If you want to make an item which summons a small fire elemental, referring to those spells and item creation guideline in DMG will be a good start.

Let's see... there are the Elemental Gems, although those are Large elementals.

There's the Stone, Bowl, Brazier, and Censer, but those are all large/huge.

Or you could, you know, get a Wand of Summon Nature's Ally II or Summon Monster III.
 

I don't know any items that specifically summon a small fire elemental, but Shin_Okada's suggestion to invent one is a good idea. It's not terribly difficult with the magic item creation rules (and DM permission, of course).


"Bic Lighter of Fire Elemental Summoning" ;-)
A wondrous item that summons a small fire elemental (equiv to Summon Monster III) with a command word 3x/day would cost around 16200gp. Maybe it looks like a golden torch, and must be lit to operate.


"Orange Bag of Tricks" ;-)
Or you might base something on the rust Bag of Tricks, which produces small fire elementals instead of animals, and is based on Summon Monster III (rather than Summon Nature's Ally III).

  • Roll d%
    1-80: small fire elemental
    81-95: thoqqua
    96-00: medium fire elemental
As with the Bag of Tricks, only one elemental can exist at a time, only 10 can be pulled out per week, and they only speak Ignan. Price should probably more than the rust Bag of Tricks (3000gp) because the elementals are intelligent, so maybe something like 4500gp (?).



Those are just quick guesses off the top of my head, but most likely need DM approval. There's also always scrolls and wands, which are generally a safe bet for all DMs.

I think a reskinned eternal wand would be perfect. It summons the elemental twice a day and last for five rounds each summons.

So if i use an eternal wand of summon monster III as a base how much cost increase do you think is appropriate to make it usable by non-casters??

Get UMD. If you can reliably make the DC 20, you're fine.

Making it usable by non-casters would take it into the realms of Wondrous Item, not wand/eternal wand.
