Samsaran Summoner


Advice

Grand Lodge

So I've seen plenty of threads talking about Samsaran sorcerer, wizards, etc using spells off of the summoner spell list to get early access to things.

What I'm looking for is help picking out spells for a Samsaran Summoner. I see this as an awesome opportunity to expand the severely limited spell list that summoner's possess. Right now I'm looking at possibly playing one with a 16 cha starting so 4 spells. If I can find an awesome spell worth buying up to the 18 cha I'll make due.

Right now I am leaning towards some evocation spells like fireball, scorching ray, disintegrate(magus 6), and possibly Draconic Reservoir for my eidolon. I feel the evocation spells are a trap and possibly a waste, so I ask you fellow gamers what your choices would be.

Do summoners get heroism? If not, that's an awesome spell to have. Good buff with a long duration.

It seems they do already.

Off the cuff I am thinking about multi use spells. I'll work on a list later, but I agree that Evocation spells should be a last resort. Have you considered looking at Treantmonk's wizard guide? That has some good recommendations.
