[QUOTE="Baron Opal II, post: 9371023, member: 6794067"] One way is breadth and level of control. The Guild of Summoners teaches a plethora of common and expected otherworldly creatures- elementals, other-dimensional humanoids, &c. Concentration is required for control of any summoning. Disciples of the Pallid Emperor learn some summoning techniques, but it is mostly for skeletons, wights, and wraiths from the battlegrounds of history. The weaker ones don't require concentration. They could be run as hazards to make it simpler for game flow. Those that make a pact with The Harvester of Eyes have a very limited number of creatures to summon; only those that are aspects of that entity or other specifically subordinate entities can be summoned. They might require full concentration but grant abilities that are otherwise unavailable. Perhaps difficult to block scrying in this case. The guild of summoners could conceivably call to any of the entities that the others have access to, but they don't know the proper ritual and it might take more power. So, a sixth level spell instead of a fourth. [/QUOTE]
