Alternate summon tables?

[drnuncheon]

Has anybody added to the Summon Monster tables using stuff from MotP, OA, the Creature Collections, MoF, Dragon Magazine, Legions of Hell/Armies of the Abyss or any of the other monster books out there?

Has anyone come up with a decent set of guidelines for doing so beyond 'eyeball it'?

Try this:

I have some rules for summoning. Here is the thread:

I, too, am trying to compile a list of nearly every summonable monster, but so far no luck beyond the MM. My guidelines are slightly different to the above post, but the principle's the same. Here's a direct link to the article on my site: http://dungeondamage.keenspace.com/summon.html.

My purpose in doing this is to have a quick reference for anyone who wants to summon anything and doesn't want to waste time flipping through indexes. I've listed celestial/fiendish animals and beasts for Summon Monster with adjusted CRs and all that, but those are the only templates I've used for now. So I'm not competing per se with mroberon, I'm just providing a sort of index for easy use.

PLEA FOR HELP: Somebody look at what I'm doing and send data! I'm poor and can't afford the books to expand this project!

Um, yeah. Oh, I also allow necromancers to summon temporary undead via Summon Monster spells, and I've got a mechanic for summoning multiple monsters at once.

Hope someone finds this useful.
