Large template on summoned creature?


Rules Questions

Sovereign Court Owner - Enchanted Grounds, President/Owner - Enchanted Grounds

Something came up in a game I was playing this past weekend that I cannot seem to find an answer for:

A player summoned a cerberus using the alternate list from the CoT AP. They did it as a standard action (sacred summons allows this I was told). The cerberus was large.

It's the last part I'm struggling with. I cannot find any reason that this would have been allowed. No feat, no alternate stats. Nothing.

Did I miss something?


The standard rule is you only apply the templates the summon list gives you. Fiendish etc. The only exception to this is some of the druid shaman archetypes.

Sovereign Court Owner - Enchanted Grounds, President/Owner - Enchanted Grounds

Certainly not a druid PC. It was a cleric of Asmodeus. And if there isn't something that specifically allows the large template then it can't be done (the game was a PFS game).

Thanks, then. I won't feel bad about missing anything, seeing as there was nothing to miss.

If anyone else knows how this may have been legal, I'm all ears.


Council of Thieves: Mother of Flies gives the players the opportunity to summon a monster called a Cerberai with Summon Monster IV. Thing is, there is no monster called a Cerberai. The Pathfinder SRD refers you to the monster called Cerberi, which is a medium sized monster.

However no feat in the present pathfinder system allows you to summon a medium sized creature with the large template, as far as I know. I think they're either pulling your leg, or they've come to believe that they can do something they cant.
