[QUOTE="Silveras, post: 1382911, member: 6271"] There are two ... The first suggests using custom lists of summonable monsters to give different flavors to separate organizations, regions, etc., in a game world. The creatures on the lists would be chosen by some unifying theme -- earth creatures for the Dwarves is one example given. Two such sample lists, specifying 2-3 creatures for each of Summon Monster I - IX are given. The second is individualized summoning lists for each caster. Each caster starts with knowing how to summon 1 creature type from the first such spell they learn/get access to. The variant suggests several different "formulas" for deciding when the caster gets to add more creatures. In the end, the choice of which you use depends on how many monsters you want the summoners to have knowledge of; but the key is to use the same method for everyone, to keep it balanced. [/QUOTE]
