Hi,
I'm running a magic-heavy game, and encourage my players to invent new spells for themselves. Some of them have taken this to heart and created some nasty and/or interesting spells. One of them is a close-to-nature type of character, and he wanted a summoning spell to call elemental subtype creatures to do his bidding, instead of the magical menagerie that Summon Monster does. It's called Inner Planar Summoning.
I'm all for it. However, I need some help to decide what kind of creatures the man can summon with the lower end of this spell. I need one kind of creature with each elemental subtype for each tier of the spell. So far I have:
I: ??
II: Small elemental
III: ? (Azer or Thoqqua on fire)
IV: Mephit / Medium elmental
V-IX: Not really an issue at these levels.
So if anybody has suggestions on where to find Elemental plane monsters of CR2 or equivalent or of below CR 1, I'd be very happy. Especially the Summon I monsters would be important. Also extra monsters of CR1 would be fun to bulk out the second tier with things other than basic elementals.
As of now, I'm winging it, and bringing out something called elemental motes, which are Tiny, have 4 HP, can do 1d4 typed damage and have special abilities based on the plane of summons. Fire burns, Air flies and makes gentle breezes, Earth burrows and Water can both douse fires and freeze water.
All input is appreciated. All splatbooks allowed.
