Deity Unique Summon Rules


Rules Questions


Hi all,

Just wondering cause I can't find anything on it. Some creatures on a Unique Summon list for deities also appear on the Summon Monster list normally. As an example, Asmodeus allows Hell hound and Bearded Devil, but both are already on the list on Archives of Nethys.

Does this mean:
1. you can summon them regardless.

2. You still have to worship Asmodeus and they are on the list in error.

3. It lists them but it behaves like spells granted by deities, where they still appear on
the list but don't give access without the proper deity.

Thanks in advance everyone.

For Asmodeus, you get the Hell Hound a spell level early, possibly two levels, but I think that's a typo. The bearded devil is the only redundant one. Not sure if that was a mistake. It was probably supposed to be a spell level earlier, but they didn't want it to conflict with the Cerberi.

In the Player Companion Monster Summoner's handbook Hell Hound is marked at SM 3rd, Bearded Devil and Cerberi are both marked at SM 5th.

Ah, so they nerfed it. That still gives the hell hound a level early though. The Cerberi otherwise takes a feat to get. The bearded devil was probably just someone not paying attention. It would have made a lot more sense to move the bearded devil to SM4 and the Cerberi to SM5, but there probably wasn't a lot of time to put thought into little details like that.
