12-10-04, 11:30 AM I want to create the best arcane summoner possible, please help me

for now i have think about a sorcerer 6/warlock(fom the warcraft campaign setting) 10/summoner 2/PrC 2

using the dragon 302 expanded rules for summon monster

exalted arcanist is great, but I must use an evil version...

any suggestions about feats, spells, and especially, about the monsters that can be summoned with summon monster?

take all the frosty summoning feats, and don't forget Control Temperature as your "money" combo spell.

i don't like thaumaturgist...it requires 2 feats and CG alignment for arcane casters or some cleric levels...or else, two feats, and some levels of exalted arcanist

but the frostmage's idea seems quiet good

any other suggestions?

12-10-04, 02:40 PM As a summoner, you'll have the Conjuration focus anyway. Thaumaturgist gets you Augmented Summoning for free, as well as free Extended Summoning for double the duration of your summoned goons.

The only "cost" of dipping into Thau is to use the Arcane Disciple feat from Complete Divine to add all the Summoning Domain spells to your spell list. You'll need 8 caster levels to qualify for Thau. I'd recomment Sorcerer 5 / Frost Mage 3. Combine Beckon the Frozen, Icy Calling, and Rashemi Elemental Summoning for some +8 Str, +4 Dex, +4 Con, Max HP, and Cone of Cold 3/day for summoned Air Elementals.

Sorcerer 5 / Frost Mage 3 / Thaumaturgist 4 / Frost Mage 4-10 / XXX 1

the warlock gives the same benefits of the thaumaturgist plus some other great things...and doesn't requires spell focus...

arcane disciple is a great feat, but you must be chaotic good for the summoning domain...

i still prefer the warlock...

icy calling gives a +4 str and dex, augment summoning +4 str and con...so we have monsters with +4 str, +4 dex, +4 con

rashemi elemental summoning gives a +4 con that stacks with the +4 from augment summoning

so you can summon +4 str, +4 dex, +8 con air elemental

the combo is nice, add two levels of summoner for a summon monster IX(or for summon 1d3 creature with summon monster IX if you have the spell)
