Summoner

First Post
After waiting for CA, I was kind of disappointed. I was hoping that finally there would be a summoner prc for a wizard.
So the question I like to ask my friendly enworlders is where can I find a nice summoner prc for my wizard or some friendly advice how to make him better.

A little info about my character, wiz5 using a conjurer specialist from UA. And I have my 3L feat still free.

I've always liked the Summoner and the opther prestige classes from Path of Magic. It is a 3.0 book but pretty easyt to convert.
 

Hi A.fish,

You did not look at the alienist? This would seem the most obvious choice for a prestige summoner from the CA.
Check out my story hour if you want to see a high level conjurer/alienist in action.
Check out Sepulchrave's story hour if you REALLY want to see an Alienist in action - go Mostin!

Best Regards

Spell Focus (Conjuration) and Augment Summoning are obvious choices for Feats.
Beckon the Frozen (from Frostburn) allows you to apply the cold subtype to creatures you summon. Also, creatures' melee attacks deal some extra cold damage as well.

I agree that WotC support for summoners is pretty low (the Alienist is cool, but it may not fit the archetype as it is really an Insane Cthulhu-styled Summoner), but that's when you turn to 3rd party books. :)

I remember there being a Summoner PrC in Relics and Rituals, but I also remember not liking it that much. See if you can find a copy and check it, tastes differ after all.

Check with your DM to see if you can alter the Thaumaturge PrC in the DMG3.5 to fit arcane casters better.
 


I would like to thank everyone for there input, alienist though he is a summoner that he slowly going insane doesn’t work for me.
RR1 summoner is kind of stupid.
However summoner and arcane negotiator from path of magic, is something that I was looking for, thanks Crothian.

The UA variant is already a good help.

Furthermore you could ask your DM to probably adapt the Alienist PrCl to your ideas. I don't remember the special abilities of the Alienist, but perhaps you could just change the flavor and make it e.g. a fiend summoner?
 

I'm playing a Drd 3/Wiz (conjurer) 3/MT 10 with Spell Focus (conj) and Aug Summoning. The amount of summoning spells is just awesome. Overall, SNA is much better, especially with Animal Growth!
 

have you looked at the optional rules in the DMG wrt summoning specific monsters ones you know and even name?

more flavor than crunch but still a nice thing.
 

I too have been looking for a nice prestige class for conjurers, but have been pretty disappointed with what I have found. I have seen all of the ones suggested above, but none of them really do what I want. The Arcane Negotiator in the Path of Magic comes close, but the mechanics for allies seem clunky.

In my search, I found the following homemade PrC, which is pretty close to what I want. It is no longer available on its web site, but it is still available in Google's cache. See what you think:
