Summoner: Giving the People What They Want
- Thread starter pawsplay
- Start date
On a recent thread over on the Paizo forums, James Jacobs said something to the effect of, "through the summoner, you can make nearly any of the monsters from the Bestiary once you get high enough level."
I'm hoping that Ultimate Magic brings enough additional evolutions to actually make that true (I want my clockwork golem, dangit!).

43. As an experiment in fusing demon blood with a tiefling to create a super-demon mortal creature. The sorcerous magical talent and manifestation of this demon creature being the unexpected results of this heretofore considered "failed" experiment.
This one is actually how my brother is letting one of his players play a summoner. It also activates as a self-defense mechanism (when her blood is shed from a wound), meaning she has to hurt herself to manifest the creature, and it can show up by accident when it's not so good (a demon manifesting in the middle of a bar fight, etc).
The benefit being that she can manifest it as a swift action (or free action if by accident/wounded in combat).
I thought that was a rather unique idea.
