Summon Natures Ally question

[Darthslash]

So part of the rules for SNA state:

A summoned monster cannot summon or otherwise conjure another creature, nor can it use any teleportation or planar travel abilities. Creatures cannot be summoned into an environment that cannot support them. Creatures summoned using this spell cannot use spells or spell-like abilities that duplicate spells that have expensive material components (such as wish).

But SNA 4 lets you summon a Satyr which has a 1/day (sp) of the spell Summon Nature's Ally III.

The Satyr is fairly weak creature by it's self without its spells and spell like abilities.

Did they make a mistake here? Since its a once a day spell like ability, should the Satyr be allowed to use its SNA III?

[MrCab]

Sounds like they can't summon anything, since as you quoted the spell, "A summoned monster cannot summon or otherwise conjure another creature"

[Nefreet]

Satyrs are still quite dangerous without their SNA SLA.

But, as long as this isn't for PFS, talk to your GM =). If you really like Satyrs I'm sure something could be worked out in trade. I'd be open to discussion if it were a player of mine.

Nope... summoned creatures can not summmon. Satyrs have other tricks to use.
