Seeking advice on what creatures to pick for the Summon Creature spell.

Out of the four able to pick figure I need one for flying fights, one for water fights, and one that's able to handle swarms.

Have no idea what to suggest -


Robots for ranged combat

Water elementals/agathions for water combat

Either something with a fly speed, or shadows to hit EAC in melee.

And I don't think there are any low level summons that can deal with swarms, so the other one from the above you didn't pick.


While this depends on your GM and your own imaginative resourcefulness, I have gotten a LOT of use out of Aeons, both in and out of combat. The best flying combatant in my experience is the Protean. Three Proteans, even tiny, a fairly good chance of grabbing a mook and a sweet boost to the action economy.


Was thinking a Air Elemental could, sort of work for Swarms if I'm reading the rules right.

Air Elemental, Whirlwind The base of a creature in whirlwind form occupies a 5-foot square. The whirlwind is twice as wide at its top as its base and has a height equal to four times the width of its base; this doesn’t change the size category of the creature.
Duration: the creature can remain in whirlwind form for a number of rounds equal to half its CR. using the universal rule of can never be less then 1, would have a 1 round duration.

That's if I'm reading the rules right.


Found the grafts I need to apply to the creature templates but where and what templates do I use for the other creatures (looking for something like the elemental have).

You use the elemental stat block for all summon creature grafts unless it's a specific creature (like the skittermander whelp).

All the grafts are in the same section as the spell.
