Alternate Summoning Lists and Pathfinder Modules


Pathfinder Society


In the allowed items there are three modules which contain alternate summonimg lists. As a player who will doesnt have the time to DM or want to ruin opportunities to play these modules does anyone think they give enough variance and change to warrant paying $13 for the PDF for one page of the module?

I guess that depends on what $13 is worth to you. In general probably not for just that. There is usually a good amount of other interesting reading other than the AP itself though which might be interesting to you. There is usually 35 or so pages of assorted non-AP content and generally quite good.


Just remember that either print-outs from the official pdf of the book or a photocopy of the relevant page from the hard copy of the book is legal in PFS. So if you just can't find a reason to spend the money on the book with the material you want, you can get a friend who already owns it to make a copy of a page or two for you to use.

This is not true. I wouldn't know this except Frost just clarified this on the FAQ. You have to have either the book or a print out of the PDF with your name on it.

What modules contain alternate summoning lists?

Where does it say that these summoning lists are allowed?

(Very interested in adding more creatures to my summoning repertoire and willing to pay for it!)

Look in Chapter 13 of the PFS guide. Right off the top of my head I see

AP #26 #29, #31, #32

The catch at least some are very specific... for example in #26 a "Cleric of Iomede can summon..."

Are any of them useable by Druids? I dont want to go purchase a mod only to find I cant even use the one page I wanted from it!

Hmmm...

Just found out about two of them:

#26 is only priests of Iomedae
#29 is only summon monster and only priests of Asmodeus

So your druid can do a summon natures ally VI for a celestial griffon if he/she is a priest of Iomedae (this is possible as 'being a priest' is a job, not a class) and you own the book. So as long as you aren't 11th level, don't worry about it!

Oh, just read this: All of Iomedae’s priests are clerics or paladins, though she has many ranger followers serving the church in important roles...

Thanks! That eliminates both of them from being needed items!

Same topic different thread

just my thoughts for players and GMs on alternative summoning lists, monster summoning, summon nature's ally and the online information and of course the PFS posts/FAQs on such. I decided it belonged in the in the PFS GM thread...
