![]() You choose 1 outcome for each of the four categories and it can never be changed, if you choose giant boar for CR2 then any time you use this to summon CR2 beasts you only get giant boars regardless of the higher spell slots used. THAT is when you contact nature and choose the 4 outcomes. I've heard another slightly different approach, when you first get this spell you must spend an hour in a ritual as part of your next long rest. We tried dice rolls once to add some chaos to summoning, and I got a hunter shark in the middle of a desert, and it suffocated and died in a few rounds, and I died a little inside. That being said the party regularly gave me shit when I summoned the same beast a number of times, so I didn't abuse it as much as I know some people would and I rotated around using different beasts and different CR ranks. If you're pumping a 3rd level spell into this at level 5 and you have a specific beast you want, only to get something useless, then you'll never use this spell again which sucks because it's nearly a Core Druid spell, summoning is their gimmick, let them have it. Half rounded down the GM picks something that makes sense, we also ignore the "or lower" tag all agreeing that it's very dumb to spend a 3rd level spell to summon 1 crab CR0 (It says 1 beast CR2 or lower so technically you could summon a single beast with CR0 which is categorically stupid in combat). The DM will often choose creatures that are appropriate for the campaign and that will be fun to introduce in a scene.ĭon't know how you all handle this but a general rule of thumb for this at our table was half rounded up, the player gets to choose. For example, if you pick the second option, the DM chooses the two elementals that have a challenge rating of 1 or lower.Ī spellcaster can certainly express a preference for what creatures shows up, but it’s up to the DM to determine if they do. The design intent for options like these is that the spellcaster chooses one of them, and then the DM decides what creatures appear that fit the chosen option. ![]()
