Summon

From NWNWiki

A summons is a creature that was magically drawn from another plane of existence, or simply from the nearby environment. A summons is compelled to do the bidding of the one who summoned it.

The school of conjuration is responsible for all spells which are able to summon a creature or object.

[edit] Sources for summoned creatures

• Outsiders — such as demons, devils, fiends, and celestials — are summoned from the outer planes.
• Elementals — including Quasi-Elementals, and Para-Elementals — are summoned from the inner planes.
• Shades, shadows, and invisible stalkers are summoned from the Plane of Shadows.
• Animals and vermin are summoned from the local environment.

[edit] Notes

• Without custom content, a caster is limited to a single summmons at a time.
• Killing a summoned creature does not grant experience points, but summoning a creature does reduce experience awards for kills (as it increases party size).
• When a caster dies, all creatures summoned by the caster return to their native planes (or environment).
• A summoner can unsummon a summoned creature at any time by selecting the "Unsummon" option in the creature's radial menu.
