Spell Casting[edit]
Through various means you have learned how to cast some cantrips
- Cantrips
At 1st level, you know three cantrips of your choice from the summoner spell list. You learn additional summoner cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Summoner table.
- Spellcasting Ability
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your summoner spells., the creatures you summon are connected to you in many ways. You use your Wisdom whenever a summoner spell refers to your spellcasting ability.
- Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
- Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
- Spellcasting Focus
You use an arcane focus as a spellcasting focus for your summoner spells.
Summoning[edit]
Summoning works similarly to the summon demon, fey, ect spells.
You summon creatures by spending summon slots to bring them forth from wherever they are.
Subclass[edit]
At 2nd level, you chose a <!-insert name of subclass feature i.e. path, archetype, discipline, etc.->. Choose between <!-list the subclass options->, <!-all/both-> detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features at 2nd and again at 7th and 13th levels.
Fight or Flight[edit]
At 3rd level,
Ability Score Improvement[edit]
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Extra Attack[edit]
Starting from 5th Level, you may attack twice instead of once, whenever you take the attack action on your turn.
Commune with Beasts[edit]
At 6th level,
Bestial Instinct[edit]
At 8th level,
Summoner Apprentice[edit]
Starting at 11th level, you may perform a ritual to combine two summons together. Only uncombined creatures may be used in this ritual. The creature produced has a unique stat block which takes the highest stats from each (original)summon. Aswell retains all the previous resitances and moves.
You can spend summon slots to do the following:
- summon a creature
- heal a creature
- teleport a creature to you
- A special subclass action
If you are incapacitated or absent, the creatures act on their own, focusing on protecting you and themselves. The creatures never require your command to use their reactions, such as when making an opportunity attack.
If a creature dies you may re-summon it using the Summon Creature action unless otherwise stated.
The class table above shows how many creature slots your character gets as they level up. You may spend these slots to summon creatures to aid you in battle.
Beastlord[edit]
At 17th level,
Necrotic Summons[edit]
Undead Might[edit]

This damage increases to 1d6 at 9th level, 1d8 at 11th level and 2d8 at 17th level. You may use this feature only once per turn and only a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus.
