Core Pathfinder Rule found in the summon monster spell.

"Creatures summoned using this spell cannot use spells or spell-like abilities that duplicate spells with expensive material components (such as wish).

Is there an offical ruling on how much is really considered expensive material components? what is the exact GP value listed at in PFS; to know what summoned creatures spells or spell-like abilities they can use so that one knows what their summons are capable of and not have their summoned creature be neutred by a GM who considers a certain value of GP for a spell to be an expensive material component.

more than 50gp (might be 25), the same for whether you must purchase and/or carry that component with you to be able to cast the spell (or if the cost must be included in a scroll, potion or other magic item during creation.)

That rule can be found under spell components in the magic section I believe.

These aren't PFS questions. These are questions based on the core rules and should be asked in the rules part of the forum.


I'm pretty sure that "expensive material components" refer to anything you can't find in a spell component pouch. So a 1gp cost would be too much.
