Summoning Tiny Creatures in an Oppnent's Space


Rules Questions


This came up last session. A druid wanted to summon a stirge with summon nature's ally I. The stirge is Tiny, and thus has to be in an opponent's space in order to attack. Can the summon spell deposit the stirge in the space of another creature? A Tiny creature can legally be in the space of another creature, and summon nature's ally I doesn't mention placement at all.

The summoned ally appears where you designate and acts immediately, on your turn.

As far as I can see you can summon the creature into any space it can legally occupy... Including an opponents space.


That's my reading too. Makes Tiny summons much more useful.

Someone pointed me to a previous thread on this subject: How Many Tiny Creatures Can Be in a Square with One Medium Creature?.

That a required some research. You are a biologist, right?

Luckily summoned creatures disappear at the end of the spell, but that kind of creatures is why I love fire aura, fire shield and stoneskin. :-)

Much more likely referencing the episode of Venture Brothers.

No idea of what is Venture Brothers but from other posts BNW do something in the biology or forestry field. i don't recall exactly what.

Venture Brothers is a rather stupid (IMO) Cartoon Network Adult Swim parody of Jonny Quest.

In season 1 episode 9 there's a reference to candiru. I only know this cause I had to Bing it.
