So the Blood summoner from Champions of corruption has caught my eye...and flavor-wise it's great....
But I'm not sure that I see a lot of mechanical benefit...
Am I missing something ?
well frankly, Blood Travel seems great, as does all the planar binding stuff, and Blood Possession seems bonkers to me
It's flavorfully great, but mechanically, less so. Blood travel is about as nice as transposition, giving up shield ally hurts a bit, Blood Possession comes online way too late, and the DC targets what's usually a good save. Planar binding is nice, but even as a standard action you still need to bargain, making it as useless as the normal version for combat, and in play it's not as broken as in theory. Especially if you don't want to have to use evil outsiders.
That was more or less what I thought...
I'll have to play around with some builds and see if I can come up with anything...
