[QUOTE="kigmatzomat, post: 2154136, member: 9254"] I wrote up a summoner PrC for a player a while back that never got used. It seems balanced at first glance but hasn't been through any serious playtesting yet so YMMV. It's very focused and there's a trade in total power (-2 caster levels) for summoning-specific abilities. Grand Summoner pre-reqs: spellcraft:10, Knowledge (planes):5, augment summoning, 3 [i]summon[/i] spells (1 of which must be 3rd level or above), a [i]Protection from X or Magic Circle[/i] spell. May not be a wizard specialist with conjuration as opposition school. BAB: poor (+1/2) Saves: Will good weapon/armor profs: none Skills: 2/level Spellcraft, Sense Motive, Bluff, Knowledge(planes, arcana, nature), speak language, diplomacy, intimidate Spells: caster level improves +1/level except at 2nd and 7th level Abilities: 1st Specialist, familiar 2nd Faster Summoning 3rd expanded share spell 4th Expert Summoning: combat 5th enhanced familiar 6th Expert Summoning: resilience 7th Expert Summoning: banishing 8th 9th Faster Summoning 10th Horde Specialist: caster gains 1 spell of each level per day for use with Summon spell. (Does not stack with wizard specialist) familiar: character gains an additional familiar. Summoner levels stack with other classes that provide familiars for total familiar bonuses. Faster Summoning: at 2nd level [i]summon[/i] spells no longer take 1 full round to cast. At 2nd level it requires a standard action + a move action to cast while at 9th level they require only a standard action. expanded share spell: spells shared between caster and familiar function out to a range of 1 mile. Expert Summoning. The summoner has a competence bonus of Summoner Level/2 that applies to various functions. combat: replace the +1 provided by "augment summons" by the Expert Summon bonus resilience: Add expert summons bonus to caster level and creature's SR (if any) to resist banishment/dispelling, penetrate magic circles, or defeat SR. banishment: Add expert Summons bonus to caster checks to banish or Dispel summoned or extraplanar beings. enhanced familiar: familiar(s) gains outsider template appropriate to character alignment (celestial for good, fiendish for evil, summoner choice for neutral) Horde: 3/day the summoner may maximize a summon spell without affecting spell level or casting time (as the Sudden Maximize feat) [/QUOTE]
