The Great Stat-Card Project: (UPDATED 8/9) 3rd level summoning spells

[Halivar]

I hadn't thought about the economic aspect of it, but I do think that providing free playing tools such as this provides greater economic incentive for publishers like TGOC to increase product value. And that's not to say they don't, already; their stuff is nice. Nicer than my "ugly hacks".

I guess it's just that I really, really don't want to sell this stuff. I know there are plenty of gamers out there like me that don't have spare change lying around to buy the nicer stuff, and I'd like to give them something.

It's the paradox of the 'net. Everyone one wants to get paid for something they've made, and everyone wants stuff for free. And somebody is always making their own version of somebody else's thing.

Well, not everyone. Linus Torvalds couldn't afford UNIX, so he wrote Linux for free. The two co-exist nicely to this day.

PS: Like I said, take a look at TGOC's stuff. It may be for you.

 

[Janx]

That's all good. Your free stuff will encourage TOGC to make their stuff better to encourage people to pay. Survival of the fittest and all...

Alrightee, I just finished summon monster III and summon nature's ally III. What's different about this batch is that it has the first creature so far with spell-like abilities: the dretch. You'll find his spells on the back of his card.

I did not include the summon monster III elementals because they're already included in the summon nature's ally II batch. I also uploaded new versions of I and II to account for some stylistic changes, and corrections to typos and stat inaccuracies.

Good job! Very handy cards. Thanx!

Okay, I just went to print these out to give them to some fellow players, and noticed that there seem to be some missing. Notably the Dire Wolf from the Summon III set. Has the pdf been edited since it was first put up, or is there a reason for this omission?

Again, these cards look great.

 

[Halivar]

Dire wolf is missing? Holy cow, I gotta fix that.

BTW, updating the attachments is a pain in the posterior. I need to get ahold of some web-space to put these things up so I can just update them at will.

PS: Level 4 is coming soon!

 

[Lord Pendragon]

Great to hear that level 4 is on the way. I play with a wizard and druid that like summoning, and we just hit 5 and the Summon III spells. I didn't check the list exhaustively, so I don't know if the Dire Wolf is the only critter missing, but he is indeed absent from the version I DLed a few days ago.

 

[Halivar]

It isn't. I also missed the lion and a few others.

 

[Lord Pendragon]

It isn't. I also missed the lion and a few others.

D'oh!

Also check Scott Metzger's site for pre-made stat blocks for all those spells.

Thanks for the pimp

Also, check out my Monster program. It will output a selection of SRD monsters, you can apply the Celestial or Fiendish template, and you can configure the statblock output to your taste.
