SUMMONS REWORK:

• Buffed already existing summons overall.

Clerics with Animal Domain won’t summon the next available summon anymore, but instead:

• If a cleric has Animal Domain, all creatures coming from Summon Creature I to IX, will be automatically Unique.
• A cleric with Good/Evil Domain, will make automatic Unique creatures from any Summon Planar Ally spell and Gate
• A cleric with Death Domain will make automatic Unique creatures from any Summon Undead spell
• Epic summon feats are NOT included.

The kind of unique buffs applied to these summons are weaker than the default unique buffs normal creatures receive at their same level.

• Summoned familiars and animal companions will now scale with their master level and main ability modifier.
• Their statistics will scale based on Master’s Caster Level and Master’s MAIN Ability Modifier (INT for Wizard, CHA for Sorcerers, WIS for Druids and Rangers).
• Each kind of companion/familiar has its own scaling table and abilities.

Changes to Summons and Familiars/Companions WILL be subject of small adjustments in the next days after i have seen how they do in-game.
