The Summoner (5e)
The Summoner While many who dabble in the arcane become adept at beckoning monsters from the farthest reaches of the planes¸ none are more skilled at it than the summoner. This practitioner of the arcane arts forms a close bond with one particular outsider¸ known as an eidolon¸ which gains power as the summoner becomes more proficient at his summoning. Over time¸ the two become linked¸ eventually even sharing a shard of the same soul. But this power comes with a price: the summoner's spells and abilities are limited due to his time spent enhancing the power and exploring the nature of his eidolon. Summoners spend much of their time exploring the arcane arts alongside their eidolons. While their power comes from within¸ they rely heavily on their eidolon companions in dangerous situations. While a summoner and his eidolon function as individuals¸ their true power lies in what they can accomplish together. Edit: For those worried about the threat of this class cluttering initiatives and bringing 18 Giant Lizards to the battlemap¸ our rendition of The Summoner only summons¸ evolves and cultivates a single Eidolon. Changelog: Updated several grammatical inconsistencies and mistakes. Made rulings around the "Eidolon" section clearer and easier to read.
