05-03-05, 06:24 PM My DM in a game I'm playing employs the alternate monster lists rule for Summon Monster spells, where you may replace the monsters on the list of creatures available to summon. This is great because I'm playing a summoner-type PrC that has my character developing new lists that favor slightly different patterns. I need alternate creatures for the lists. This change is permanent as well - whatever I replace things with I'm stuck with, so I need good stuff.

The themes are celestials and good dragons (including lesser dragons, as per the definition presented in Draconomicon). The source requiring this change is an Eladrin, so chaos would be favored over law. Two alternates that have already been used (therefore *must* appear) are:

Celestial Ape at L3 (replaces the fiendish Ape)
Celestial Corollax at L3

Can anybody offer other suggestions?

I'm not sure what the CR range is for the Summon Monster spells, though.

Yeah! We'd discussed this some and he'd mentioned some younger age categories of the true dragons might qualify at the higher levels.
