(read more in Relics and Rituals)Also, the summoner PrC grants you up to 5 metamagic feats only usable on summoning spells, and it will let you use up to 5 of these feats to enhance a summoning spell (1 feat at a time) without raising its spell level.  So that Cleric 5/Summoner 4 could summon something from the Summon Monster VI table, and make it Twinned (FRCS I think, either that or T&B) or Repeated (T&B) for free <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />If you can talk your DM into getting that summoning prestige domain at level 1, go for it, otherwise get that 1 level in contemplative.Augment Summoning is a must-have feat of course.One of these two items, the first prefered...Ring of the Blue Conjurer from the Book of Eldritch Might (I don't know which one)blue conjurer gives summoned critter +4 def ac bonus, +4 to con (effectively +2 fort saves, +2/hd hp) +2 bonus to strength (effective +1 to melee attack and damage rolls)Price-42kRing of the Red Conjurer: +2 defl ac, +2 con to all summoned creaturesPrice-14kSpell Thematics from Magic of Faerun (errata'd one), to all of your summon monster spells, so that they are +1 caster level (net +2 with summoning) and they can look even cooler!Item with Bless activatable at will, price is only 2k!Spell Girding (Magic of Faerun), gives you a +2 against dispel checks so that your summoned creatures are harder to dispel.Edit-Be LN or similar and summon Element animals instead of fiendish/celestial mostly, these get past that alignment restriction since most of the creatures are turned into N alignment.</blockquote>
