Summoner, additional base forms?

Round 2: Summoner and Witch

Seems like there are some base forms missing. For example the illustrated bird creature doesn't seem to fit into any of the listed base forms (I see 2 legs and no arms). Are there plans for additional base forms? I can see at least 2 more base forms being commonly used:

  • Winged -> understandably wouldn't have flight at low levels but a base form for a flightless bird would be nice
  • Insectoid/ Arachnid -> There are tons of critters who fall into this category which should be summonable. Paying for 8 legs separately would be entirely too expensive for first level creations. They should get a bonus to climb instead of faster land speed.

    What about a Swarm form?

    We made sure that the forms you mentioned were perfectly achievable over time. Due to the modular nature, the two that you mentioned are a bit better than the others due to their extras... hence why we left them out.

    As an aside, you can make a spider at 7th level.. almost exactly.

    Oh I see, the avian creature you would cash in the arms and claws for for flight. I didn't catch that you could cash in some of the features of the base forms.
