Message: <blockquote data-quote="Squire James" data-source="post: 399636" data-attributes="member: 548">Hopefully you have accepted my last post as constructive criticism, and not just criticism.  As a DM, I've had a bad case of "My Holy Story" before, and my players didn't like it much.  It's not quite as bad as "My Holy NPC's" or "My Holy Girlfriend's Character", but it can be a problem just the same!That being said, it occurs to me that you can beef up the summoning spells.  You can increase (1) the number of creatures, (2) the HD of the creatures summoned -- be ready to stat out these animals if you do this, (3) the "level" of animal summoned, and/or (4) the duration of effect -- perhaps long enough for long-term buffs to be useful.Awakening animals seems to add power to an existing living creature without any corresponding drain on the caster -- does this hurt the planet by draining power from it or help it because stronger life is living on it?If that elf druid has Empower Spell and/or Maximize Spell that he selected with damage spells in mind, be sure to remind him that such spells work on summoning spells as well (when 1d3 lower-level creatures are summoned via Summon Nature's Ally, for instance)!</blockquote>
