Summoner

Walking into the conference, hulking monstrosity behind her, she calmly sits giving a calm but assertive glance over the rest in the room. She begins laying out the terms and conditions, which all are obliged to follow out of fear that stems from her eidolon.

With a crash and roar the eidolon slams through the entrance, making its presence known to the enemies within. It slams down enemies one by one, no remorse, no pity, until all that’s left are the remains of whatever tried to cross its drow master.

Letting a carefree laugh out, the halfling flies atop her eidolon, gleefully performing aerial loops and dives, before flying down to ambush a caravan. As quickly as they went in, they left, goods in hand and the original owners non the wiser.

Summoners rely on their summoned creatures, primarily their eidolon, but their use of space manipulating magic makes them a formidable casting force. Using their eidolon as their primary fighting force, the summoners themselves often have sharp wit and a silver tongue.

Unbreakable Bond

Summoners seldom allow their eidolons to wander from their side, either for protection, or simple companionship. Summoners work almost everywhere; their skills lead them mostly towards independent messengers, bodyguards, and political escorts. There are summoners who prefer to remain independent, keeping only their eidolon for company and shunning those who attempt to break their solidarity.

Their intimate connection with their eidolon lends them to use a variety of tactics and abilities. While they focus on their interactions with people, the eidolon can be almost anything, focusing on combat prowess, stealth, spells, and even knowledge.

Unfathomable Creation

Creations of the mind, a summoners eidolon can fulfill any role given, learning their skills through the magic of the far realm. The summoners themselves however strive to learn more about the world, other planes, learning where they draw their abilities. Other summoners attempt to learn new locations to further their own power.

Summoners abilities and skills often lead them to adventuring, the lure of new locations is often to much. A summoners eidolon will often be wary of other adventurers, not sure if it trusts these so called allies. But soon, it will learn from both the summoner and the ally’s actions that they are a boon to its master.

Creating a Summoner

While creating your summoner character, consider how their abilities flourished and how your eidolon came to be. Were you trained in the art of summoning, or did your eidolon appear before you? Was your eidolon given to you by powers beyond mortal comprehension, or were dark rituals the source.

How did you hone your skills? was it with a mentor, otherworldly guidance, self-taught? What was your motivation for gaining this power? Revenge, curiosity, power? What is your motivation with the party? Is it hard trying to convine your allies to trust your eidolon, and trying to get your eidolon to trust your newfound allies.

Quick Build

You can make a summoner quickly by following these suggestions. First, make Charisma your highest ability score, followed by Dexterity or Constitution (if you wish to focus on health). Second, choose the Charlatan background.

Eidolon

A summoner begins play with the ability to summon to his side a powerful outsider called an eidolon. The eidolon forms a link with the summoner, who, forever after, summons an aspect of the same creature. An eidolon has the same alignment as the summoner that calls it and can speak all of his languages. Eidolons are treated as summoned creatures, except that they are not sent back to their home plane until it fails 3 death saves. In addition, due to its tie to its summoner, an eidolon can touch and attack creatures warded by protection from evil and good, and similar effects that prevent contact with summoned creatures. In Combat the Summoner dictates the eidolons movement, and actions. A summoner can summon his eidolon in a ritual that takes 1 minute to perform. When summoned in this way, the eidolons hit points are

unchanged from the last time it was dismissed or banished. The only exception to this is if the eidolon was

slain, in which case it returns with half its normal hit points The eidolon does not heal naturally. The eidolon remains until dismissed by the summoner (an action). If the eidolon is sent back to its home plane due to death, it cannot be summoned again until the following day. The eidolon cannot be sent back to its home plane by means of dispel magic, but spells such as banishment work normally. If the summoner is unconscious, asleep, or killed, his eidolon is immediately banished. The eidolon takes a form shaped by the summoner’s desires. The eidolon’s proficiency, saving throws, skills, feats, and abilities are tied to the summoner’s class level and increase as the summoner gains levels. In addition, each eidolon receives a pool of evolution points, based on the summoner’s class level, which can be used to give the eidolon different abilities and powers. Whenever the summoner gains a level, he must decide how these points are spent, and they are set until he gains another level of summoner.

The eidolon’s physical appearance is up to the summoner, but it always appears as some sort of fantastical creature. This control is not fine enough to make the eidolon appear like a specific creature. The eidolon also bears a glowing rune that is identical to a rune that appears on the summoner’s forehead as long as the eidolon is summoned. While this rune can be hidden through mundane means, it cannot be concealed through magic that changes appearance, such as alter self or polymorph (although invisibility does conceal it as long as the spell lasts).

Life Link

Starting at 1st level, a summoner forms a close bond with his eidolon. Whenever the eidolon takes enough damage to send it back to its home plane, the summoner can sacrifice any number of hit points. Each hit point sacrificed in this way prevents 1 point of damage done to the eidolon. This can prevent the eidolon from being sent back to its home plane.

In addition, the eidolon and the summoner must remain within 100 feet of one another for the eidolon to remain at full strength. If the eidolon is beyond 100 feet but closer than 1,000 feet, its current and maximum hit point totals are reduced by half. If the eidolon is more than 1,000 feet away but closer than 10,000 feet, its current and maximum hit point totals are reduced by three quarters. If the eidolon is more than 10,000 feet away, it is immediately returned to its home plane. Current hit points lost in this way are not restored when the eidolon gets closer to its summoner, but its maximum hit point total does return to normal.

Bond Senses

Starting at 2nd level, a summoner can, as an action, share the senses of his eidolon, hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting, and touching everything the eidolon does. He can use this ability a number of rounds per day equal to his summoner level. There is no range to this effect, but the eidolon and the summoner must be on the same plane. The summoner can end this effect as a free action.

Summon Monsters

Starting at 1st level, a summoner can cast summon monster I a number of times per day equal to his Charisma modifier. Drawing upon this ability uses up the same power as the summoner uses to call his eidolon. As a result, he can only use this ability when his eidolon is not summoned. He can cast this spell as an action and the creatures remain for 1 minute per level (instead of 1 round per level).

At 3rd level, and every 2 levels thereafter, the power of this ability increases by one spell level, allowing him to summon more powerful creatures (to a maximum of summon monster IX at 17th level). At 19th level, this ability can be used as gate or summon monster IX. If used as gate, the summoner must pay any required material components. A summoner cannot have more than one summon monster or gate spell active in this way at one time. If this ability is used again, any existing summon monster or gate immediately ends.

Spellcasting

By 2rd level you learn how to pull elements and effects from other places to cast spells. See chapter 10 of the PHB for general rules on spellcasting and Page 14 for the Summoner spell list.

Preparing and Casting Spells

The Summoner spellcasting table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells for 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
You prepare the list of summoner spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the summoner spell list. When you do so, chose a number of summoner spells equal to your Charisma Modifier + half you summoner level, rounded down (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level of which you have spell slots.

For example, if you are a 5th-level summoner, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Charisma of 14, your list of prepared spells can include four spells of 1st-level or 2nd-level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell cure wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells.

You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparring a new list of summoner spels requires time spent memorizing locations: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.

Spellcasting Ability

Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your sorcerer spells, since you learn your spells through instinct. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a sorcerer spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 8 + proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

Summoner Archetype

At 3rd level, A summoner may pick an archetype that you base your skills around: Broodmaster or Eidolist, both are detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you fetures at 3rd level and again at 7th, 11th and 17th level.

Shield Ally

At 4th level, the summoners eidolon begins protecting its master. Whenever a summoner is within his eidolon’s reach, the summoner receives a +2 to armor class and advantage on physical saving throws if the Eidolon spends its reaction. Does not apply is the Eidolon is unable to take a reaction.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or two ability scores of your choice by 1, As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature

Makers Call

At 6th level, as an action, a summoner can call his eidolon to his side. This functions as dimension door, using the summoner’s caster level. When used, the eidolon appears adjacent to the summoner (or as close as possible if all adjacent spaces are occupied). If the eidolon is out of range, the ability is wasted. The summoner can use this times equal to their Charisma modifier.

Aspect

At 10th level, a summoner can divert up to 2 points from his eidolon’s evolution pool to add evolutions to himself. He cannot select any evolution that the eidolon could not possess, the large evolution, and he must be able to meet the requirements as well. He cannot select the ability increase evolution through this ability. Any points spent in this way are taken from the eidolon’s evolution pool (reducing the total number available to the eidolon). The summoner can change the evolutions he receives from these points any time he can change the eidolon’s evolutions. At 18th level the summoner may divert up to 6 points, and for every 2 points used by the summoner, the eidolon loses 1 point.

Life Bond

At 14th level, a summoner’s life becomes linked to his eidolons. As long as the eidolon has 1 or more hit points, the summoner is protected from harm. Damage in excess of that which would reduce the summoner to less than 0 hit points is instead transferred to the eidolon. This damage is transferred 1 point at a time, meaning that as soon as the eidolon is reduced to 0, all excess damage remains with the summoner.

Effects that cause death but not damage are unaffected by this ability. This ability does not affect spells like polymorph, flesh to stone, or imprisonment, or other spells that do not cause actual damage.

Twin Eidolons

At 20th level, a summoner and his eidolon share a true connection. As an action, the summoner can assume the shape of his eidolon, copying all of its evolutions, form, and abilities. His Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution scores change to match the base scores of his eidolon. He can choose to have any gear that he carries become absorbed by his new form, items with continuous effects continue to function while absorbed in this way. The summoner loses his natural attacks and all racial traits (except bonus feats, skills, and languages) in favor of the abilities granted by his eidolon’s evolutions. The summoner retains all of his class features. The summoner can keep this form for 20 minutes. This duration does not need to be consecutive, but it must be spent in 1-minute increments. The summoner can end this effect as a free action.

Summoner Archetypes

Each and every summoner treats their eidolon differently, and there abilities follow two trends: Broodmaster and Eidolist.

Broodmaster

Braving this path shows a want for more raw power, calling more creatures from other planes to this one under your command

Brood Maker

At 3rd level, you are able to summon other creatures along side your Eidolon. You may cast Summon Monster using your Summon Monster ability at half the level (rounded up) you would normally cast the ability (for example a summoner at 9th level can cast summon monster at level 3 while your eidolon is out). In addition you are able to communicate with any creatures summoned by the summon monster ability.

Maker's Corral

At 7th level, the summoner learn’s how to better control their brood. As a bonus action using his maker’s call ability, the summoner call all creatures summoned through their Summon Monster to your Eidolon. If their Eidolon is not summoned, the summoned creatures are teleported to you.

Brood Mentality

At 11th level, the summoner’s brood learns how to better work together. The summoner’s summoned creatures can convey the effects of shield ally to the Summoner, the eidolon or another summoned creature so long as they are able.

Brood Lord

At 17th level, the summoner’s magic further infests his body. The summoner can divert more of their eidolon’s evolutions to themselves. This ability functions as the aspect ability, but up to 6 evolution points can be taken. In addition, you no longer have to concentrate on the spell Summon Monsters, however, casting the spell again dispels any creatures previously summoned by this spell

Eidolist

Following the path of the Eidolist means devoting your powerto your eidolon to better aid its combat potential. Furthering down this path aids your bond with your eidolon, learning how each other thinks strategically.

Evolutionist

At 3rd level, the summoner learns how to better link their eidolon to this world. The eidolon gains evolution points equal to the summoners charisma modifier or their proficiency modifier (which ever is higher) and the distance that the Eidolon can be away from the summoner without losing hit points is doubled.

Transposition

At 7th level, a summoner can use his maker’s call ability to swap locations with his eidolon. If it is larger than him, he can appear in any square occupied by the eidolon. The eidolon must occupy the square that was occupied by the summoner if able, or as close as possible if it is not able. In addition, when the summoner teleports the eidolon, the eidolon may use its reaction to move up to 10 feet and perform a melee attack

Greater Shield Ally

At 11th level, whenever an ally is within an eidolon’s reach, they gain the effects of shield ally, if the ally is summoner; the summoner receives an additional +2. Also, if a creature within the eidolons reach attacks the summoner, the eidolon may use its reaction to perform an attack.

Merge Forms

At 17th level, expending his turn, a summoner can touch his eidolon and the two can merge forms. This transformation includes all of the summoner’s gear. While merged in this way, the summoner is protected from harm and cannot be the target of spells or effects. All effects and spells currently targeting the summoner are suspended until the summoner emerges from the eidolon (although durations continue to expire).

While merged, the eidolon adds the summoners proficiency modifier to their damage rolls and saving throws and the summoner can cast spells while inside the eidolon by taking control of the eidolon for the duration of the casting. Any material components used for these spells are taken from the summoner’s gear, even though they are otherwise inaccessible. The summoner can direct all of the eidolon’s actions while merged, can perceive through its senses, and can speak through its voice.

The summoner can use this ability for a number of rounds equal to his summoner level and recharge on a long rest. He can end this effect at any time as a free action. The summoner emerges in a square adjacent to the eidolon if able. If the eidolon is returned to its home plane while the summoner is merged with it, the summoner is immediately ejected, taking 4d6 points of damage, and is stunned for 1 round.

Eidolon

Creating an Eidolon

When creating an eidolon, think about its personality and demeanor. What is its behaviour around the summoner, and what is its reaction to the party? Does it like the summoner and party, or loathe them.

Quick Build

You can make an eidolon quickly by following these suggestions. When creating a attack heavy eidolon, choose aquatic or biped base forms. When creating a speed heavy eidolon, choose avian, quadruped, or tauric base forms. When creating a stealth heavy eidolon, choose avian or serpentine base forms.

Link

A summoner and his eidolon share a mental link allows for communication across any distance (as long as they are on the same plane). This communication is a free action, allowing the summoner to give orders to his eidolon at any time. In addition, magic items interfere with the summoner’s connection to his eidolon. As a result, the summoner and his eidolon share magic item slots. For example, if the summoner is attuned to two items, the eidolin can only attune to one magic item

Share Spells

The summoner may cast a spell with a target of “self” or on his eidolon (as a spell with a range of touch) instead of on himself. Spells cast in this way must come from the summoner spell list.

This ability does not allow the eidolon to share abilities that are not spells, even if they function like spells.

Ability Score Improvement

When the eidolon reaches 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or two ability scores of your choice by 1, As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature

Extra Attack

At 5th level, the Eidolon gains two attacks per attack action, and bonus action attacks. Bonus action attacks are made without adding strength modifier to the damage of an attack. Bonus action attacks are listed in the Eidolon evolutions, and can be used for off hand attacks. The Eidolon can only make one attack of each type in an action or bonus action attack unless specified otherwise by the evolution.

At 11t level, the Eidolon gains three attacks per attack action and bonus action attack, at 20th level the Eidolon gains 4 attacks per attack action and bonus action attack

Evasion
