Conjure Monster
8th-level Conjuration
Casting time: 1 minute
Range: 150 feet
Components: V, S, M (see below)
Duration: Instantaneous


Using your own imagination as the canvas and raw magic as a skeleton, you pull material from the surrounding area and attempt to spin it into the form of a new creature. Choose a point within range and think of a creature. You can either select a creature with predetermined statistics, let your DM choose one for you, or work with your DM to create one from scratch. Then, roll 1d100, and consult each table below and apply the highest or lowest modifier from the table. The following happens depending on the circumstances.

Modded Roll Result
1 or lower The spell backfires terribly. You take 40 force damage that can't be reduced or negated by any means from the shock, and gain a level of exhaustion.
2-19 The spell backfires spectacularly. The built-up magic explodes. Each creature within 20 feet of the point you targeted must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 5d10 force damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success.
20-49 The spell backfires, and instead creates a random creature of a similar CR rating.
50-69 The spell succeeds somewhat. It creates the desired creature at a random point within range.
70-99 The spell succeeds proficiently, and creates the desired creature at the designated point.
100+ The spell succeeds perfectly, and creates the desired creature at the designated point. The new creature becomes charmed by you for 1 week, and is friendly to you and your companions for the duration. Its disposition towards you afterward depends on how you treated it during that time, as well as the creature's alignment.

If the spell suceeds, the chosen creature spawns into existence at the point designated by the table. It is constructed from nonmagical material, and thus cannot be dispelled. If or when the creature dies, it crumbles into dust and disintegrates.
