I've been reading through the site a few times as I was planning on applying to become a GM and I read through the minion rules and I understand the reasoning for what you've put into effect, but it seems to me that by doing this the Summoner class is basically as a good at being a summoner as any other caster. I feel the Summoners limit should be 2 minions, so that they can use their Eidolon as well as their summon abilities/spells. This way the summoner retains its original concept somewhat of being specialized into summons without overwhelming the game.
This is all just theory-crafting on my end though, I haven't seen this in effect and so I'd be interested in knowing the councils point of view on this. Thanks in advance for your time.

Well given that the summoner can only use his summon monster class ability while the eidolon is not summoned, I think the original concept of the summoner is still preserved. I myself have a summoner and I have gotten along just fine (better then fine actually) with only have the Eidolon out or when he dies, summoning some monsters to take up damage and attack.

As far as I knew you can't use the SLA version while it's out but using the normal spell works.

This is actually scheduled for the January change log, so watch the news and announcements etc. Good to hear. The 1 minion rule seems to really nerf a lot of classes and archetypes. While I support preventing folk from summoning an army to keep the game going, I would prefer a bit more flexibility. Even just 2 minions would make a big difference. |
