[QUOTE="Urbanmech, post: 695831, member: 122"] The only problem with using the extend feat on the summon spells is that you get a less powerful creature for the spell slot. Now if you are just using it for utility purposes then that is probably fine. But if you end up in combat which one would you rather have a Summon IV or a Extended Summon III? It isn't as much of an issue for a sorcerer because of the spontaneous metamagic but wizards and clerics need to be more mindful of their spell choices. The Summoning prestiege domain is pretty good if you are a cleric, but doens't do much good for wizards. Maybe summoning should have an option in addition to summoning more monsters of a lower level. If you use a summon to summon one creature one level lower the spell lasts minutes, and if you get one creature two levels lower it would last 10 minutes per level. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
