ACG has rings that add creatures of a certain type to your summon monster lists (Archon, Azata, Psychopomp, and others). Which do you think adds the best monsters to the summon monster list?
I don't have ACG so my question is does the rings work for summon natures allies?
No. there are a separate class of rings for summon nature ally spells.ACG has rings that add creatures of a certain type to your summon monster lists (Archon, Azata, Psychopomp, and others).

Woot. Thank you I'll have to try to find them to see what they do. Thanks again.
there actually isn't an Azata ring that I could find anywhere, which is... unfortunate.

At first I thought they didn't have a chaotic good ring because 3 Azatas are already on the base summoning tables (I'm thinking of them as useful for sacred summoning, mostly)
but ... I didn't even notice there are 2 LE rings and 2 CE rings, as if those alignments need more options for Sacred Summons. (It is nice to have more options of course ) At least most other alignments have options now.
Sigh, still not able to build an Angel Summoner, I'll always be the BMX Bandit.
A 17th level Master Summoner with the Ring of Agathion summoning putting out 1d3+1 leonals is an average of 416 healing per leonal for one use of your ~16/day SLA. On top of pounce, 3(1d3+1) Walls of Force, unlimited fireballs(1d3+1)/hold monsters, and protective auras on all of them to shield your teammates. And if you have SGM, they all have Diehard. It's a long way off, but definitely something that can come in handy at the end of an AP.
Would this ring be a good alternative to a wizard who isn't going into the whole summoning specialisation builds? I have this half orc wizard who is going eldritch knight later, he might pick 2-3 summon monster spells along the way, but I like fancy items like this, they looks fun to have around.
If not, he will probably buy one or try and find one to give to the party summoner to buy him out.
do these rings of summoning affinity work with the summoners summon monster ability or is this just for the spell?
Since the ability works just like the spell, including Augment Summoning, yeah. This works too.
The devil ring is the best. Which is unfortunate.
Where's the devil one?
Daemon is easily my favorite.
For starters, it provides the most new options. This means you get the most new tactical options for the battlefield. Secondly, you get the cacodaemon, which is going to pay for the ring on it's own. Drawing out souls into soul gems is exceedingly valuable as those souls can be used to pay for material components or magical item crafting. By the time we can afford the ring, most souls we encounter should be worth between 100 to 500 gold, and they'll only get more valuable as we gain levels and take on greater challenges.
Granted, this is all unspeakably evil, but if our GM is willing to let us use the soul binding rules from Horsemen of the Apocalypse, this is easily the best option, hands down.

I meant the Daemon one for the reasons mentioned above. Devil is still the best alignment for summoning though with the summon evil monster feat.
I will be buying daemon ring in Way of the wicked as a Warpriest because it will let me convert countless soldiers into candy healing snacks for the group.
While I do enjoy summoning devils, I cannot find Summon Evil Monster anywhere, and I can't buy Champions of Corruption.
Daemons would be cool, but since my character for WotW is an Asmodean cleric, wouldn't be in, flavor-wise.

If your GM allows magical tattoos, just get the meridian belt, a hand of glory, and tattoos of both of the same. Get all of the rings, and summon like mad. It's expensive as all get out, but you can accomplish loads with only one spell in every slot now.
What does all that do, exactly?
The Sacred Summons feat helps a little, what with the devils and hell hound already there.
I'll get a few levels out of 1, 1d3,and 1d4+1 hellhounds.

The hand of glory lets you replace your neck slot with a ring slot.
The meridian belt lets you wear two extra rings, and swap which two rings are worn as a swift action.
Magical tattoos are an optional ruleset from Inner Sea Magic that allow for duplicate item slots, at double cost.
With all of the above, you can wear up to 10 rings by having 2 rings, 2 meridian belt rings a hand of glory ring and tattoo duplicates of all five. It's not typically useful to spend that much gold and effort on rings, but for this, it might just be.
This is great and all, except I can't cast any [good] spells, since I'm a cleric, and those rings are hella expensive.
I don't know, I just don't have enough focus on summoning to make it worthwhile.

That is always a fair response.
