Evolved Summoned Monster

The creatures you summon have evolved to have even greater abilities.

Prerequisite(s): Augment Summoning, Spell Focus (conjuration), ability to cast summon monster I.

Benefit: Each time you cast a summon monster spell, you can select a 1-point evolution other than pounce or reach from those available to a summoner's eidolon. Your summoned creature gains this evolution. The summoned creature must conform to any limitations of the evolution. (For instance, only a creature with a reach of 10 feet or more can have the pull evolution.) Evolutions that grant additional attacks or enhance existing attacks can be applied only to Medium or larger summoned creatures.

If you summon more than one creature with a single spell, only one creature gains this evolution.

Special: You can take this feat multiple times. Each time you do, select an additional 1–point evolution for one of your summoned creatures. If you summon more than one creature, you can choose to apply all the evolutions to a single summoned creature, or split them between the creatures summoned.

If I take this feat twice do I get two 1-point evolutions, or can I get 1 2-point evolution to a single summon?


Two one-point evolutions only. "Select an additional 1-point evolution" doesn't seem too ambiguous.

Thank you. That's what I thought but obviously not everyone reads one thing the same way as everyone else.

You still only get the 1 point evolutions.

The wording under special specifically references all evolutions, not all evolution points. Since the earlier rules text specifies that the only evolutions you are allowed to pick are 1 point, you can only choose 1 point evolutions to apply.
