Summoning Spells . . . .

Unread post by Malakai »

So, I was going over the RUE Shifter OCC and it said at the end of the spell list that they get to choose from when they go up every level " . . and any Summoning spell that may be desired, excluding weather summoning."

Now, the question I have is this - what defines a Summoning Spell?

Those that start with Summon [x]? If so, that's limited to animals, entities, Sea Serpents, lesser beings, and shadow beasts

Those that bring forth a creature you control? If so, that broadens it a little bit, but not much. Animate Dead, Create Golem, Create Mummy, Create Zombie, Magic Warrior, Doppleganger, etc

Is it limited to just Invocations? (I ask this becasue, using the tables in DB7, you can summon such things as a Phantom Footman or a Flame Friend)

You pretty much got it: anything that calls forth some creature of some kind. and yes, ONLY invocations.

That is why the megaversal spell creation rule in the "Through the Glass Darkly" book were writen, so players and GMs could make their own spells.
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.
Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.
Reading and writing (literacy) is how people on BBS interact.
