So that's also a highlight to mention (for the invoker) - so be prepared to know it yourself and to explain it when game day arrives ... presuming the powers chosen for the pregen actually have a summon.Other than that, it is generating interest based on nastaligia from previous editions... "if you liked bards and druids from before, now you can play them in 4e and see how your favorite class has evolved." and so on... (i doubt many people distinctly recall "that favorite power strike feat they had in 3.x" but they will be more likley to recall "that favorite (class/race/character) from previous editions."</blockquote>
