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.

Skilled Companions

While many who dabble in the arcane become adept at beckoning monsters from the farthest reaches of the planes, none are more skilled at it than the summoner. This practitioner of the arcane arts forms a close bond with one particular outsider, known as an eidolon, who gains power as the summoner becomes more proficient at his summoning. Over time, the two become linked, eventually even sharing a shard of the same soul. But this power comes with a price: the summoner’s spells and abilities are limited due to his time spent enhancing the power and exploring the nature of his eidolon.

Symbolic Knowledge

Summoners spend much of their time exploring the arcane arts alongside their eidolons. While their power comes from within, they rely heavily on their eidolon companions in dangerous situations. While a summoner and his eidolon function as individuals, their true power lies in what they can accomplish together.

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.

Equipment

• A simple weapon

Eidolon

At 1st level, 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 do not return to their home plane until they are reduced to a number of negative hit points equal to or greater than their Constitution score. In addition, due to it's tie with it's summoner, an eidolon can touch and attack creatures warded by protection from evil and similar effects that prevent contact with summoned creates. A summomner can summon his Eidolon as a ritual that takes 10 minutes. When summoned this way, the eidolon's hit points are unchanged from the last time it was dismissed or banished. If the eidolon was slain, it returns with half of it's maximum Hit Points. The eidolon cannot be healed by any means other than spells. The Eidolon takes a form shaped by the summoner's desires. The eidolon's Hit Dice, saving throws, skills, abilities, and stats are based on a creature or beast with a CR equal to a fourth of your Summoner level, and is agreed upon by the DM. You can change the creature that your Eidolon is based on when you gain a level. 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 for the spell's duration). Once an Eidolon is slain, it cannot be summoned again until the next day, and the ritual requires an hour and 10 gp in supplies when summoning an Eidolon that was formerly slain. When you take damage that brings you under half of your total Hit Points, you have to roll a Constitution Saving Throw with a DC decided by the DM. If you fail, the Eidolon dissapears, and you must complete the ritual again before it is resummoned. Add your Constitution modifier to the roll.

Summon Monster

At 2nd level, a Summoner can summon a creature specified in the ability's table corrosponding to the level of the Summoner, detailed in the Summonable Creatures list at the end of the Class Description and expending a number of Summon Slots equal to the monster's CR. They can summon creatures this way a number of times equal to 1 + their Charisma modifier. The creature summoned is friendly to you and creatures that you are friendly to. The creatures each have their own turn. At 3th level, you can expend 1 Slot to cast the Flock of Familiars, or Find Steed spells, These slots recover after finishing a Short or Long Rest.

Garthan's Method

The way of Garthan, a famous Summoner in history, that focuses on summoning your Eidolon in a protective manner around you as if it was a shield. This type of Eidolon is called a guardian spirit by many of it's users, and it is often mistaken for some sort of divine embassy or deity.
