True Name and Fomorian Titans


Rules Questions


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Hello everyone. I would like to ask something about the True Name discovery that is available to wizards. It states that from lvl 15 an on, this power allows a wizard to summon an outsider with up to 18 HD as per Greater Planar Binding.

My question is: Is it possible to summon a Fomorian Titan from the Bestiary 4? That monster has 18HD and 8 Mythic Ranks, and is effectively CR 22.

Would you allow the True Name power to summon such a powerful entity? The discovery says that the only restriction is the 18 HD limit.

What are your thoughts on this?

RAW: yes.
RAI: obviously not; the HD limit stems from a time when there was no such thing as mythical levels.


I was also thinking the same way... But what if the wizard is also a mythic character? I believe that it is subject to each GM's decision whether it is possible or not.

as a DM I would rule (RAI) that you could not summon something with more tiers then you currently have. So your level 20 Wiz w 3 mythic ranks.. it wouldn't even acknowledge your summons.

RAW yes.


This is a nice way to determine whether you can summon a Fomorian Titan! It is difficult, but the most powerful archmages could do it! I like this option! Thank you guys for your feedback! :)
