Heightened (6th) Level 7. That's been my go to for helping pick summons so far.I could only find the summon fey one at short notice, but he does really good work.Great guide, but I have a bone to pick with this and all other RPG guides: The Gold and Orange colours are extremely simliar and it's hard to tell which one I'm looking at unless they are both on the page.Fly 40, Tiny so it can occupy the same space as you or an ally and it has a DC 16 Color Spray.Color Spray is amazing, especially when the Sprite can cast it every turn while staying out of reach.Only a Crit Success keeps them unaffected, which means rolling a Will 26 or a Nat 20.Success is still Dazzled, which grants Concealed to everyoneFailure is Stunned 1, Blinded for 1 round and Dazzled for 1 MinuteLooking at something big an angry you might fight at level 1: Ogre WarriorOgre's Will is +5.
However, if you don't need the climb speed a crocodile has better numbers for similar tricks.Crocodiles are great at grabbing one foe and locking them down.

That means it will be affected on anything but a Nat 20. The ability to summon any tiny animal means that Pathfinder's large collection of animals offers an impressively long list of potential summons. Their Stun ability (which dazes foes rather than stunning them) is devastating. Rather than wasting a bunch of spell slots to dispel a pesky magical obstacle, summon a Babau and make it dispel repeatedly until it succeeds.A passable combat option, but Ankylosaurus is considerably better.

Match the Party level in the following table to know the XP awarded:I update a lot of data from all the Rulebooks and adventure books. DEFENSE.

Adding a Pugwampi to the mix of another summon has me very excited for my Witch character.
They’re not really able combatants on their own (barring a few at level 1/2/3 summons) so it can feel disappointing when you spend 3 actions and your highest level slot summoning a thing, only for it to miss twice, then your opponent turns around and crits it twice causing it to die instantly.The thing is, the above scenario is actually quite a favourable turnout for the spellcaster, as they’ve spent 3 actions to deny the opponent their two best actions, even though it may look bad on paper.So then we get to the situation where they don’t attack the summon (because doing so is actively a bad idea).

If you're worried about action economy, consider casting Flaming Sphere before you cast Summon Swarm so that you can spend your turn doing something more exciting than thinking about your swarm to keep it around.Summon Swarm competes with Summon Monster II, and notably Summon Swarm can summon CR 2 creatures compared to the CR 1 creatures from Summon Monster II. ECOLOGY. Pirates often make use of sharks, eels, and other nasty sea denizens when interrogating captured prisoners, searching for underwater traps, or retrieving sunken treasure.Some of the larger or rarer creatures, such as whales, are obviously much more difficult to … The wounding effect is tempting, but it's too small compared to the Ankylosaurus's ability to daze enemies.The Bralania is a weird mix of abilities.
