    Default Expanding Summon Nature's Ally

    As various splatbooks have come out, several of the new monsters added to the game have been put on the Summon Monster list. Summon Nature's Ally though, has been almost completely neglected. It got a couple creatures added through the Fiend Folio, a handful more from Stormwrack (although they aren't really added, since they replace other creatures on the list), and a single group of monsters (storm elementals) in MM3.

    I'd like this thread to be devoted to improving Summon Nature's ally, both by adding new creatures, and if necessary, changing the level of some of the creatures already on the list (or removing them altogether). If you're going to suggest creatures, please make sure they fit thematically, and please suggest which level of SNA they should go under.

    Below is the list of RAW creatures that can be summoned with the various SNA spells for reference. The next post in this thread will be to keep the edited list.

    Books I've looked through so far: MM1, MM2, MM3, MM4, MM5, Arms and equipment guide, Book of exalted deeds, Book of vile darkness, Cityscape, Complete adventurer, Complete arcane, Complete champion, Complete divine, Complete mage, Complete scoundrel, Complete warrior, Draconomicon, Dragon magic, drow of the underdark, DMG1, DMG2, Dungeonscape, exemplars of evil, fiend folio, Fiendish Codex 1 and 2, Frostburn, Heroes of battle, heroes of horror, libris mortis, lords of madness, MiC, Magic of incarnum, miniatures handbook, planar handbook, PHB 1 and 2, races of destiny, races of stone, races of the dragon, races of the wild, sandstorm, savage species, spell compendium.

    Default Re: Improving Summon Nature's Ally

    Here I've started an analysis of what sorts of creatures are on the SNA list, and rough power levels of each level of the spell.

    The summon nature's ally spell summons 'natural' creatures. These mainly fall into the animal type, with a few elementals, fey, magical beasts (all of which are basically fantasy animals, such as the griffon or girallon), and plants (all of which come from fiend folio, there are no core plant summons) to round out the lists.

    Power levels
    I realize that CR is not the best metric by which to judge a creature's power, however it is one of the quickest and easiest ways to do so, so initially that's how I'll be judging what level spell a critter should fall under. If a good argument can be made for putting a creature in a different level because it is over/under CR'd, I'll do so. Below are the CR's of the creatures on the SNA list by RAW.

    SNA 1: Under CR 1, with two exceptions (wolf CR 1, and Hippocampus CR 2)

    SNA 2: CR 1 and 2

    SNA 3: CR 2 and 3

    SNA 4: CR 3 and 4

    SNA 5: Mainly CR 4 and 5 with a couple exceptions (Elasmosaurus CR 7, Ichthyosaur CR 6, and Nixie CR 1)

    SNA 6: Mainly CR 6 and 7, with a couple aquatic CR 8's, Pixie with no special arrows (less than 4), and spriggan at CR 3

    SNA 7: Mainly CR 8 and 9, with a couple CR 8's, and Pixie with sleep arrows (again less than 4)

    SNA 8: CR 9 and 10

    SNA 9: CR 10 - CR 13 with pixie (both special arrows) at CR 4 and grig at CR 1.
    If build a man a fire, he'll be warm for a day.

    If you set a man on fire, he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

    Default Re: Improving Summon Nature's Ally

    So before I start combing books looking for new creatures to add, I thought I'd take a look at the ones on the list and see if any of them don't fit well.

    First off, I don't see the point in the stormwrack creatures that get added to the list by replacing something else. I think it's better to just add them to the list and be done with it. However, if someone can make a good argument for the replacement mechanic, I'll listen.

    That being said, the first standout I see is the Monkey. The weakest critter (CR 1/6) on the level 1 list, it seems like it would be better replaced by the baboon (CR 1/2)

    The next is the Hippocampus, which with a CR of 2, 25 hit points, and 2 natural attacks at +5 and +0, seems to fit much better on the level 2 list.

    Next is the elasmosaurus. While it's probably borderline, it seems like it fits better in SNA 6 than SNA 5.

    Then we get to the nixie. I'm really not sure who in their right mind thought that this thing was powerful enough to be on the SNA 5 list. It's CR 1, with 3 hit points, an AC of 14, and anemic attacks. It does have DR 5/cold iron, and SR 16, and a 3/day charm person ability with a DC of 15, but I would maybe put this thing on the SNA 3 list at most. Possibly SNA 2, although the charm person ability at that level would probably be a bit overpowered. I'm tempted to just remove it altogether though.

    Next up, the Pixie, which shows up on three of the lists. It has greater invisibility at will, spell resistance 15, DR 10/cold iron, and a list of fairly impressive spell like abilities (including polymorph). However, it also has 3 hit points. Honestly, I think it might be best to just remove the pixie from the list.

    Spriggans are interesting monsters, but I see nothing about them that really justifies them being on the level 6 list. Level 4 seems a better fit (they don't do any more damage in either form than something like a brown bear, and their spell like abilities are no more powerful than something like a unicorn)

    And finally the Grig. A CR 1 monster shows up on the Summon Nature's Ally 9 list. Its defenses aren't even as good as a pixie's, and the only thing it really has going for it is Otto's Irresistible dance, but that has a save DC of 12. Just take it off the list.
    If build a man a fire, he'll be warm for a day.

    If you set a man on fire, he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

    Default Re: Improving Summon Nature's Ally

    Starting with added creatures from the MM1. There are several plants and fey, and oddly enough a few animals not on the list.

    Assassin Vine - CR 3, probably fits on SNA 4. Not as good of a grappler or damage dealer as the brown bear or giant crocodile, but plant traits, and the ability to use entangle at will make it competitive.

    Nymph - CR 7, but with level 7 druid spellcasting, and some very nice spell-like abilities. Power-wise, it probably falls slightly behind the celestial charger, so I'd put it at SNA 8 (which helps flesh that list out a bit)

    Owlbear - CR 4, and fits quite well with the other SNA 4 creatures.

    Tendriculos - CR 6, but a fantastic grappler, with a very nasty swallow whole ability. Less powerful than some of the CR 7's (tyrannosaur for example) and roughly on par with the dire bear, so call it SNA 6.

    Treant - CR 8, slightly less powerful than most of the SNA 6 creatures by itself due to relatively weak attacks and low hit points. However due to its animate trees ability, you're going to get 3 of them, so I think it fits decently well at SNA 7.

    Then we get to animals. Several from the MM were left off the list for some reason.

    Badger - odd since dire badger is on the list. A solid addition to SNA 1.

    Bison - CR 2, which is quite low given its damage-dealing ability and high hit-points. If fits quite well with other SNA 3 creatures such as ape, dire wolf, and lion.

    Boar - also CR 2, but weaker than the bison. Solid SNA 2

    Cheetah - another solid entry for SNA 2

    Leopard - Fits well with other SNA 2 critters

    Monitor lizard - another one for SNA 2

    Manta ray - It's got a lot of hit points, but not much else, I'd probably put it at SNA 1.
    If build a man a fire, he'll be warm for a day.

    If you set a man on fire, he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

    Have now gone through several other books and added a bunch of new creatures. At the moment I've gone through most of the core 3.5 and 3.0 books. I haven't yet started on any campaign setting material, and I may have missed a couple core books.

    The only reason for substituting the creatures from Stormwrack is that most of the standard creatures aren't suitable for non-aquatic campaigns. Since you can't summon a creature in an inappropriate environment in the first place, it's a rather lame excuse. I say add them instead.

    Apparently WotC never defined what a "natural" creature was. Since you can summon a hippogriff or elemental with SNA II, there's probably no reason that you couldn't summon an owlbear. It could be WotC thought that by speculating that a "demented wizard" create the first one that somehow owlbears aren't "natural." I'm not sure it is possible to define a "natural" creature in D&D terms other than by prohibiting Undead and Constructs.

    Seems to me, that Fiend Folio takes the brokenly overpowered druid class, and then at level 11 takes the broken shards of your game and proceeds to split them at the atomic level.

    Seriously...who's idea was it to make SNA VI (which a druid can cast at 11) able to summon a fey creature (the mountain nymph known as an Oread) that can cast a big pile of Spell Like Abilities, including Earthquake - a level 8 druid spell - with CL14?

    I would not call this a hard and fast rule; even Core SNA has the Celestial Charger (SNAIX) (Celestial creatures sound outer-planes-ish). I would possibly make a case for some Eladrin (the Fey-Celestial Outsiders of 3e, not the elves of 4e) belonging on the SNA list.

    Amend it to no Constructs, no Undead and no Outsiders.

    Extraplanar creatures aren't necessarily Outsiders. As mentioned before, the celestial charger is Magical Beast with the Extraplanar Subtype.

    Eladrin is Subtype in 3.5. However, in the MM3.5 the brilani and ghaele are Outsiders so they would not be able to be summoned by SNA.

    This is a fantastic resource that would make a nice handbook. Thanks so much for putting this together.

    It would be worth a moment's glance at Dragon Magazine 302, which has a nice article on expanding summoning lists, including examples of expanding SNA. I think you'd appreciate it.

    Glidewing, Dinosaur CR3

    Magebred Heavy Horse CR1

    FIVE NATIONS
    Dragonhawk, CR6
    Magebred Brown Bear CR4
    Magebred Ghost Tiger CR4

    Those are good ones from Eberron. Are those the only books you checked or should I be looking through other books?

    I was also thinking that we might add to the list creatures like Boggles from MMII (probably CR'ed right, which is uncommon for MMII). To me they're more like fey then monstrous humanoids and they have interesting abilities which could make for good role-playing in some circumstances.

    I looked through most of the Eberron products, but I'm sure I overlooked good options.

    I had never thought about Boggles this way. But I LIKE IT. Going forward, in my world, boggles are now fey!!

    What about Phantom Fungus, which seems like a no brainer to me. And it spices up the list a little. I mean, who couldn't find uses for an invisible four-legged fungus?

    It's been a long time since I last looked at this thread, and I see there have been some new posts. I can try to sort these by CR, but I don't have access to all the books in question to do a real good analysis of all the critters added.

    Did anyone ever look through the Faerun books?

    Well, I do have one homebrew I added to the SNA lists, although I did require sword-sage levels (you can remove that requirement), and it is only for humor campaigns.

    I would also search around the forums and see if you can find a skunk you like. I know Vorpal Tribble had one.

    If you don't find one that suits you, I might be able to find a print copy of one I wrote out in MS Word before I had even heard of GitP. Plus dire skunks.
