What she said. And where's that eidolon? I need a sandwich.
Really wish this was a book. There's just something about actually holding a hardback in your hands as you read it, you know?

Interesting way of phrasing that.
Hopefully that's not a pattern of things to come.
Feels more like a syllabus than anything. Other than bulk content to get your money's worth, what's your general feel? What chapter has the bulk of the pages? Likes/dislikes?

OK, I was able to get a review up. I wasn't able to put in my full review.
Huh, I wonder why? I believe Gary and co. recently even increased the allowable length of reviews. I'm pretty sure I've seen reviews much longer than the one you posted here on the product boards ...
Curiouser and curiouser ...

Yeah so I'm not the best reviewer ever. I liked the monster reference sheets that they had. The petitioner and divine summoner seemed a bit similar. All 4 races have a LA of +3 or +4, so no using them at first level. I wasn't too happy about that. Though it looks like they could be some fun once you get to the right level. Not too sure about reprinting all of the summoner and conjurer class info. I probably would have been fine with just talking about the uses and other ideas for those 2 classes.

Actually I made a mistake. One race is a LA +2.
I think what Mark was saying is that the LAs are interesting in a Pathfinder product because as it stands, there's not essentially supposed to be LAs. Something needs to be scaled back or some other means to allow to play at first level amongst comparable races that requires no LAs.

One thing I'm looking into is buying my own thermal binding machine, a Helios. Instant gratification ain't what it used to be.
The idea behind this book was two-fold. First, introduce a more comprehensive and (hopefully) engaging summoning paradigm, and second, to include most, if not all, of the content which had a direct relation to summoning, to create an easy reference handbook for those who enjoy summoning magic, hence the inclusion of both new and existing materials.
I am not sure that adding in spells that are already in the core book was a good idea. It makes printing the book counterproductive.
So this is a 300+ page book solely about summoners and it doesn't have ANY additional evolutions? That seems to defy logic.

Honestly... I was working on this very thing... A collection of all of the Stat Blocks [Including Augmented stats] of the monsters on the Summon Monster/Nature's Ally/Other Misc. summoning spells table plus the Monsters granted by EVERY other Paizo official addition: That's to say archetypes, the deity articles, feats and so on and so forth... I intended to release it for free due to the usage of Pathfinder Campaign Setting specific stuff (mainly the Deity articles, which I wanted to updated every time a new article came out). I didn't realize this was a thing already... Makes me worried about that idea of releasing the document... Well atleast I'll have it for personal use if it comes down to it.
