See I know I have made a post about this earlier, and that most people hate bringing up dead post. So I decided to make a different one. Last time I asked if anyone knew a good site to get a expanded summon monster list. But now I want to know about what monsters you think should be on the summon monster list. I'm more along the lines of summon monster IX here but if you think the monster is meant for a different summon monster spell please list what lvl summon monster spell it should be. But I was thinking about it and skimming through the monster manual #1. BAM, I poped open the book and landed on Frost Worm. I have always like the Frost Worm and for a lvl CR 12 it's pretty weak.
Do you think that the frost worm would be a good monster for summon monster IX. I also looked through the book some more and found Hydra with 11 heads was only CR 10 like the rest of the monsters on Summon Monster IX. Tell me about what monster you would like to put on the Summon Monster list.(not just #IX) Only a day before the adventure and I could use some help big time! And if you do know a list to an expanded summon monster list plz link it. So post what you think should be on the summon monster list and any links you may have. I thank you for your help, and will always come to Paizo if i'm at a delema in D&D.(and to talk to everyone else)
PS: Monsters can be from all 3 monster manuals, Libris Mortis, and Fiend Folio.

A good article for variant summoning rules can be found in Dragon #302 on pp 25-28. It's called "The Summoner's Circle".
Dagnabit. The boards keep eating my post for this thread. So here goes. AGAIN.
A good article for variant summoning can be found in Dragon #302 on pp 25-28. It's called "The Summoner's Circle". I rather like the article myself because it provides a CR rating per summoning spell ( CR 1 for Summon <whatever> II, up to CR 12-13 for Summon IX). The author goes on to offer suggestions for limiting the number of creatures which, in combination with the variant that says the summoner conjures up the same creatures time after time, makes for a highly personalized summoning list.
Imagine, for example, that with your summon 2 or 3 spell you bring a simple, low key outsider or elemental. Over time, when you reach the point where you can cast more powerful spells, this creature grows in strength by advancing in class levels or its monster race. Elementals become bigger elementals, outsiders gain class levels or even transcend their original state into more powerful outsiders (be they fiend or celestial).
