So my group has been throwing around idea for how to get around some of the limitations to the summoner's summonX SLA, and this is what I've come up with:
Let summoners add their CHA mod (in rounds) to the duration of all summon monster spells they cast. This reduces the abusability inherent in 1m/lvl (which can be used for multiple combats), while also not shafting low-level summoners (1 round to cast, and the critter sticks around for 1 round...not good).
In addition, it is another reason for summoners to have CHA, albeit a minor one. Summoners definitely need to be pushed into CHA more.
What does everyone think of that change?
