I had an idea for a "summoner" mage who instead of taking any direct involvement in the fight, directs summoned creatures to fight for him/her. The idea is very simple: take the twenty level progression for the NPC adept class, and add a "summon" ability once per day at level 1. Using summon, the summoner becomes (as in possessed or somesuch, just so that the summoner is removed from the fight), for a number of rounds equal to their level, any outsider (of appropriate alignment) with CR equal to the summoner's class level.
Are there any balance issues anyone can think of? Does the summon ability need to be more than once per day? Is the summoner, using the adept's spell list, still useful outside of that one combat a day?
Any comments/suggestions would be helpful.
