Summon Monster Spells; How to reduce the casting time?


Advice


As the thread says, I am wondering how to reduce the casting time for the Summon Monster spells.

I am ONLY allowed Core, APG, UM, & UC.

Help me out here Paizo Hivemind!


What?! A paizo forums thread woefully underpopulated by bees?! My briefcase full of bees should fix that!

Ok, words of power from UM. The servitor spells (same as summon monster) are cast as a standard action. Btw, by briefcase full of bees, I meant briefcase full of help.


Sacred summons from UM.

There's also the summoner's SLA.

What does your build (if any) currently look like?

Sovereign Court

Druids with one of the animal shaman archetypes can do it as a standard action as well, I believe.


Quicken spell, anyone?

Benefit: Casting a quickened spell is a swift action. You can perform another action, even casting another spell, in the same round as you cast a quickened spell. A spell whose casting time is more than 1 round or 1 full-round action cannot be quickened.

Last time I checked, Summon Monster had a 1 round casting time and can therefore be quickened without problems.


Quicken works.
