Sorry, Ive forgotten the spell name that summons beasts (3rd level, druid).
Here's my question: if I use the spell to summon 8 wolves (3rd level slot as wolves are 1/4 CR) isn't that going to utterly hose many powerful things? If the target has no area attacks, those wolves are going to hit a lot (advantage), probably knock the target prone (advantage again, doesn't matter much but makes it hard to run away).
Against a single baddy without an area attack, I think the wolves are likely to kill a CR5 or lower creature. And might really mess up others (I think a 9th level fighter would have a hard time fighting 8 wolves. A 9th level rogue would just die I believe).
I've not run any numbers (and don't have the book here) but I'd love to hear what others think. Seems powerful. I know monsters got something of a boost from the playtest. I'm wondering if they should have 't dialed this spell back when they did that...
