Spell Focus (conjuration) and Summon Swarm


Rules Questions


Would the +1 DC for conjuration spells from Spell Focus (conjuration) increase the Distraction ability of a Summoned Swarm?

Also, does anyone have any suggestions for a 5th level feat for an Urban Druid other than Spell Focus (conjuration) leading to Augment Summoning for 7th. Here is a link to my character if that helps.


I am fairly certain it would not increase the DC of any summoned creature's abilities.

Spell Focus Conjuration will not increase the DC for the Swarm's abilities, it will make it harder to dispel your summons, though, if someone were to attempt that.

I believe, though, you can increase the DC through Augment summoning since distraction's DC is con based.


Summoned creatures' abilities are defined by that creature's stats. Augment Summoning may buff them depending on what they are based on (such as the DC for the Bombadier Beetle acidic spray or Giant Bee sting), but Spell Focus won't.


Thanks. That make sense.
