Witches summoned monsters are only evil?


Rules Questions

Grand Lodge

When going through the spell list tonight with a new player I found the notation on the spell index that states "Evil creatures only" on the witches Summon monster I spell. The only other place I see this is on Antipaladin spells. This does not appear in the APG list, it's only in the PRD. Additionally this limit only appears on Summon I and III, all others are not listed this way. Is this a typo? makes sense on the AP because they MUST be Chaotic Evil, but a Witch can be any alignment, so I don't see why the limit. Is this a typo? Or do I just need to house rule this one out?

Weird, you're right. I'd say it's an error.

Gorbacz, it's on the witch list at http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/indices/spelllists.html

It only appears near summon monster I and III for me. Seems to be an error.


Anyone have the book handy to check it there? I don't at the moment, or I would.


In the APG under witch's spell list (page 70), those spells are summon monster I / summon monster III without "evil creatures only".

yeah... like I said... "This does not appear in the APG list, it's only in the PRD." /lol

just need to know if this is a Database error pulling from Antipali. I think it is. If not I'd like to hear the logic behind it. My poor noob is all flustered.

Not only is it not in the book, it's not on the actual witch page of the PRD: Witch Spells

The only place it shows up is in the spell index. As such, I'm pretty sure it's an error.


This should be reported at http://paizo.com/paizo/messageboards/paizo/websiteFeedback/theNewPRD the way the PRD sidebar requests. Any discrepancies between the books and the PRD should.
