[QUOTE="stonegod, post: 3575035, member: 36973"] My character in the Savage Tide is a mad summoner ex-pirate obsessed with understanding things about THEM, which I mostly translate as outer-planar critters. I expect him to use [i]summon monster[/i] a whole bunch (and plans to go Malconvoker from [i]Complete Scoundrel[/i]), so I wanted to customize a summon monster list that seemed more appropriate for him and the campaign. Thus, if focuses on demons, acquatics, and a few odd balls (elementals are iconic arcane summons, [i]summon swarm[/i] related monsters, for example). Below is my list. I'd appreciate any comments on levels that have monsters that are too weak, too powerful, etc. For example, I don't think the bar-lgura is too powerful for [i]SMV[/i], but I could be wrong. I've cribbed together sources from all the MMs and [i]Fiendish Codex I[/i] (FCI).
