Familiars & Animal Companions

Familiars and Animal Companions have been modified in two ways:

Firstly, all familiars and companions have been redesigned to improve their utility and roles. There have also been three new familiars added: the phase spider, skeleton, and construct. The phase spider is a stealth and poison specialist, while the skeleton is an undead servant focused on absorbing damage. The construct carries a Greatsword and largely focuses on damage, while trading survivability.

Secondly, they receive a benefit according to their owner's caster level:
- Armor Class +1 / 2 CL
- Claw Enhancement +1 / 5 CL
- Regeneration +1 / 5 CL
- Attack Bonus +2 / 5 CL
- Universal Saving Throw Bonus +1 / 5 CL
- Resistance to bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage:
  - CL 1 – 10 : 5/-
  - CL 11 – 20 : 10/-
  - CL 21 – 30 : 15/-

Summon Creature I-IX

These spells summon a creature to your side based on your choice from the following types: Animal, Elemental, Vermin, Celestial, Fiendish and Wild. Characters choose their type by selecting the appropriate option in the Rest Menu.

Animal
Animals are mundane creatures, adept at everything. All casters can choose this type, and non-casters using the Summon Creature spell via items always use this type.

Elemental
Elementals are sturdy spirits, capable of brushing aside heavy blows. All casters can choose this type.

Vermin
Vermin are sneaky creatures, immune to mind spells and equipped with poison, diseases and other debilitating abilities. All casters can choose this type.

Celestial
Celestials are animals with the celestial template. They are better at taking punishment from both weapons and magic than their non-magical kin, and tend to possess healing or supportive abilities. All good or neutral casters can choose this type, save for druids and rangers that are over level 3. Note that neutrals can only cast celestial OR fiendish summons - the first time they choose is a permanent one.

Fiendish
Fiends are animals with the fiendish template. While lacking the endurance of their non-magical kin, they wield wicked talons and claws to deal greater damage, and tend to possess destructive spells and abilities. All evil or neutral casters can choose this type, save for druids and rangers that are over level 3. Note that neutrals can only cast celestial OR fiendish summons - the first time they choose is a permanent one.

Wild
Wild is the nature-only type and can be chosen by druids, rangers over level 3 and clerics with the Animal domain. They are a mixture of animals, wild beasts, giants, fey and elementals. They lack a specialized role, but all are fearsome creatures with their own talent.

Details:
These are the specific creatures summoned by this spell line. Note that Summon Creature spells cast by items will always use the Animal type.

Pale Master Summoning

New Point System:
There will be a point progression system for PM. One point per PM level, and half a point for Bard/Wizard/Sorc/Assassin. Level 20 PM will receive a bonus point. The points will correlate to summon amount / summon strength.

New Summon Details:
These abilities compliment the Pale Master's magical skill with front-line toughness.

Reanimation Details:
A Pale Master has reached into the depths of necromancy and learned of the arts to maintain and rebuild an army of minions with ease. Pale Masters now have a 10% + 1% per PM level to reanimate their fallen minions automatically when they fall. This ability applies only to Henchmen style summons. At 20 Pale Master they gain an additional +20% to this chance for a total of 50%.
