Hi everyone.
I've already presented Animal Companion. And now it is the time to present to you Summoner.
This is an helper for "Summon monster" and "Summon nature's ally" enchantments.
This application doesn't need internet connection, and it will generate for you a complete sheet for summoned monsters.
ALL monsters in the enchantments list are included in this application. You will only need to chose it. Celestial and Fiendish template will be applyed by the application, so you just have to chose what to do.
Look at the youtube video.

This looks really nice, and very useful. One thing, though.
Any summoner worth his weight in salt will have the feat "Augment Summoning", which raises STR and CON of summoned creatures by 4 when summoned. It is (for me, at least - the math isn't hard, but it's math) a pain to calculate these in manually, and the increase in CON will make your handy HP tracker sadly useless. Do you think there's any chance of adding in an augment summoning option, so that the math is done for you and the HP's and attack rolls are right?
If you do this, I'll buy this app instantly and give it a nice rating. Without it, though, it's sort of a deal-breaker.

No problem. I'll update it, and i'll do this for you. I forgot this feat. I think the update will come out in less than 2 weeks. In the mean time vote the application please. :)

I've started thinking about the way to implement this, and i confirm: it is possible, and this will be done as soon as possible.

This looks like it will be very useful for a summoner I am planning on.
However, I don't have an iPhone, I have a Droid. Is there a version of this application available for the droid?

Yes it will. but i don't know when. a friend of mine is working on that right now. maybe a month.
Anyone who wants a redeem please leave the mail in theyr post, or i will not be able to send the code to you. ^^
That app looks awesome and will be only better once the update with the Augment Summoning feat added.
ten days and this will be submitted to apple.

Just in case there were any free codes left...

One thing that I was wanting for this app is a tracker for each summoning, that lists some sort of round counter, so I know each time I pop in another summon, that the one before has one less round of existence. If the app already does this then KUDOS, but I did not see it in any of the screenshots on the app store.

GringoireDM |

Well, i'm a liar... :( i'm sorry, but i can't give to you the support to the feat "augmented summoning" in ten days.
Mainly because i have sended this update to apple right now, so you will have it in less than a week. ^^ :D
Now ALL the stats of ALL your monsters will be updated in automatic if you set that you have this feat.
So you will have HP calculated considering the Constitution upgrade, the attacks updated considering STR upgrade, and the same will be for CMB, roll saves, CMD, skills.
The app will know if an attack is a ranged attack so will not add the bonus, and if monster is using composite bow (so will add str to damages) etc. :D
I hope you will enjoy this.
Rate it Good, rate it now. ^^

Does it update the save DC of special attacks (such as poison) that are based on Constitution?
Also, does it adjust the attack correctly if the creature used weapon finesse (and may or may not still use that)?

Ok then. i will try to implement this now if i have time, so i will cancel submission to apple for this binary and submit the new one with this feature. :) i'll try.

I'm happy to tell you that now the app will change also constitution based DC, and will consider if monster has weapon finesse. (if you have augment summoning of course)

I'll definitely be down to review an android version when it gets finished. I just finished playing my very first campaign, which I played as a wizard, and this would have made it SO much easier to keep track of my summons. As a new player this spell is quite intimidating, as you have to keep track of a whole other character and adding templates and such. This app would have kept me from slowing down my group so much on certain fights ^^; (was worth it though)

Just bought it! Looking forward to Augment Summoning. I wrote a bunch of [url="http://mxyzplk.wordpress.com/session-summaries/rise-of-the-runelords/valgrim-the-summoner/"summoner guide stuff for 3.5[/url] and have been sad at the pretty restricted list of summons on PF, but this handy tool makes it seem more fun...
P.S. You misspelled "Perception" in the skills. And "vision" in senses. (I know you're Italian, no problem, just pointing them out for correction!)
Suggestion - it might be nice to have more of the stats inline, instead of having to click on the little links for all of them. I'd use the popups for rolls only, and visibly list out attacks and all - there's plenty of screen when you've gotten to listing the summon, may as well use it, and it makes it faster to reference. Or make them into expandable sections, so that it's possible to look at more than one at a time (e.g. I can expand Attacks and Special Attacks - right now it's pop one up, close it, pop another up, close that...)

I've inserted all of them. i'm sorry that you are unsatisfied, but it's not my fault.
P.S. You misspelled "Perception" in the skills. And "vision" in senses. (I know you're Italian, no problem, just pointing them out for correction!)
Well perception is a skill, so you can find it in skills list.

i'm planning to rebuild the GUI about that. Work in progress. next update will see "augment summoning" then next next update this. :)

Do you think it is better have handbook and look for special attacks descriptions in his pages? :D

the new update has been accepted. Now you also have the feature you asked: augment summoning feat management.
This update also fix some problem; The changelog:

Now you can set if you have this feat, and all summon will change applying this bonus to all thayr stats, including attacks, feats, HP, and DC constitution based. If monster have Weapon finesse, Str bonus will not be applyed to attack bonus.
-Fixed a bug with Spell resistance calculation.
-Fixed a problem with owlbear;

G - I just purchased this, and it's a pretty smooth app. Thanks for putting it together. How hard would it be for you to add the Entropic and Resolute templates from the Bestiary 2 (in the text of that book it says you summon them using the summon monster spells).

Not hard, but i'm afraid they are not OGC, so i can't.
