Summon Monster I's page

Oops! Forgot the eagle... useless as it is.

The eagle, too, charges the derro, beak first.

Eagle bite, bless, charge: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 23 -- Ooh! Might even hit!
Bite damage, bless: 1d4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 1 = 5

The shadowy eagle, meanwhile continues to harry the derro.

Bite attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Claw 1 attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
Claw 2 attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

As Zart completes his Spell, a shadowy eagle appears right next to the flying necromancer. It screeches and begins pecking and clawing at the hideous little derro.

Bite attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Claw 1 attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Claw 2 attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Damage claw 2: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 --The only possible hit of them all!

Growling and dripping shadows, the dog attempts to take a bone for its very self back to the Realm of Shadow.

Shadow dog bite vs Large Skeleton, flanking: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 2 = 22
Bite damage (type B/S): 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

EDIT: Forgot to mention that there's a 20% miss chance due to the shadowy template that gets applied to the dog (and all of my "shadow ..." summons. Just FYI.

Shadow dog tucks his tail between his leg and lets out an apologetic, "Awoooo."

Sorry about that, I'll remove my head from my butt and let the GM do the GMing.

On another matter, how do you like this method of presenting my summoned creatures? I've updated this profile with full stats for the shadow dog (and other Summon Monster I creatures) with the shadow creature template and augment summoning feats properly applied. I'll populate it with more creatures and get to the other spells in time. Please let me know if there's anything more you want in the tagline or on the profile... or if I can make your life easier with different formatting. My aim is to modify the tagline on a per-cast basis (ie. when I summon a viper instead, that's the tagline you'll see).

Can you believe that the Summon Monster I-V aliases were available? Oddly, Summon Monster VI wasn't available, but VII-IX were. Something very strange is going on there.

**EDIT** Just checked out the Summon Monster VI profile. Strange, but it's got 24 posts and it's not being used for PbP. Even stranger, the main profile has 0 posts! Curiouser and curiouser.
