- Casting Time: 3 actions; Material, Somatic, and Verbal
- Range: 30 feet
- Duration: 1 minute per Proficiency Score (C)
You summon a Level 1 creature from the Summoning Creatures lists. The creature gains the summoned tag. If the creature’s Intelligence Score is 7 or lower, this creature fights for you until you cease spending an action to concentrate on the spell, the duration ends, or the creature’s Hit Points drop to 0. If any of these events occur, the creature is sent back to where it was summoned from.
Summoned creatures have 2 actions per turn, and they cannot use reactions. The creature attacks your enemies to the best of its abilities. If you can communicate with it, you can attempt to command it with more detailed instructions as part of your action to concentrate on a spell, but the GM determines the degree to which it follows your commands.
If the creature’s Intelligence Score is 8 or higher, the creature is allowed a Will Save at disadvantage to resist your commands. If successful, the creature can do whatever it wants with no limit on its actions beyond what it normally possesses. If such a creature freed from its summons and the caster is killed before the spell ends, the creature remains. In all other cases, the creature is returned to where it was summoned from. Frequently, in the cases of careless casters, such freed creatures attack the one who summoned it.
If the creature has the construct tag, there is a 20-50% chance the summons draws the attention of the maker of the construct. Application of this is up to GM discretion.
Summon Creature is on the Arcane, Divine, and Occult Spell Lists.
