Path Variants for Summon Monster spells


Pathfinder Society


Someone in the rules forum suggested that I ask this here. Does anyone know if there are any path variants for the summon monster spells? For instance, my character is a follower of Calistria, and I want to know if there are any summon monster paths that are flavored for this deity.

Several of the deity articles published in every third AP volume have included alternate summoning lists, but they are not legal for PFS play.

I see. That answers my question then. Thank you. =)


Actually, the customized summon lists starting with the AP's using the Pathfinder RPG rules are legal in PFS play. These would be the following so far:

Pathfinder #26: The Sixfold Trial (Iomedae)
Pathfinder #29: Mother of Flies (Asmodeus)
Pathfinder #32: Rivers Run Red (Erastil)

And I am sure when the new Guide comes out that Pathfinder #35: War of the River Kings (Gorum) will have it's customized list made legal also.

The next AP, Serpent's Skull, will be detailing Gozreh and Nethys, so the earliest you will get a customized list for Calistria will be sometime next year.

Issue 17 had Calistria.


Ah, I must have missed that. I have not really looked at the AP's written with the 3.5 rules.

I'm curious, do these alternate lists only apply to Clerics/Divine spellcasters of said faiths or anyone who casts Summon Monster and worships them? The wording states "priests" which is often a nebulous term when not specifying a class.

I'm asking specifically because I play a Summoner who worships Asmodeus in Society right now and the lists for Asmodeus are rather nice.

I'd say that it would be limited to Clerics and divine casters with Summon Monster in it's spell list.

You can't legally use a c/p version of such a list in a game and would need either a physical copy or a printout of a legal pdf to use an alternate summon list at the table.

So far, the deity articles appear in parts 2 & 5 of each AP.
