Summoner

Outside a circle filled with arcane sigils stands a tiefling reciting an incantation. The air itself grows loud and full as he practically shouts the last words. Instantly, standing before him is a devil nearly twice his size. For a brief instant the tiefling is frightened, but that quickly fades. He has no reason to fear his pet.

Goblins scatter as the hearty fists of a walking boulder slam into the ground beside them. As they turn to run, they find themselves being lifted up by the air itself taken form. A half-elf stands before them, fire erupting in a spiral behind her, commanding the goblins’ surrender.

In a meadow on a bright day, pixies zip and zoom around an elderly halfling. The halfling and her companions sneak up on two unsuspecting dwarves laying in the meadow. There is a sudden flare of magic as both dwarves are transformed into chickens, causing the halfling and her fey minions to run away laughing.

Class Features

As a summoner, you gain the following class features.

Minion Transposition

6th-level summoner feature

You can use an action to teleport with a minion within 60 feet of you, swapping places. This action fails, if either you or your minion cannot fit within the new space.

Monster Wrangler

9th-level summoner feature

You can cast the hold monster spell without providing material components (DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier). If the creature is from your planar connection it is at disadvantage on its saving throw.

Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.

Repeated Command

10th-level summoner feature

You no longer have to keep commanding your minions to keep making the same actions. When you use your action to command a minion, you may specify that it keep doing the same action indefinitely or until a specific condition is met. For example you may command a minion to use a particular attack against a creature until it is dead. You must specify the appropriate target when doing this. You can not simply command, “Use the slam attack against any hostile creature.” If the minion is unable to complete the action, it takes no action.

Control Conjuration

11th-level summoner feature

As an action, you can make an attempt to control a hostile conjured creature within 60 feet of you. Make a contested Charisma check opposed by the creature’s controller’s spell casting ability check (if it is a spellcaster) or its Charisma check (if it is not a spellcaster). If the summoned creature is from your planar connection, you have advantage on the roll.

On a success, you gain control of it as if you had conjured the creature. On a failure, you do not gain control and cannot make another attempt against a creature summoned by that conjurer for 24 hours.

On each of the original conjurer’s turns, it can use an action to attempt to regain control using the same contested ability check.

Superior Minion Transposition

14th-level summoner feature

You may now use an action to switch places with one of your minions if it is within 120 feet of you. You may also use your action to to switch places with a minion that is greater than this distance by expending a use of your summoning. Either action fails, if either you or your minion cannot fit within the new space.

Planar Travel

15th-level summoner feature

You can access to your planar connection. You may cast the plane shift spell without providing material components (DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier) to the plane of your planar connection. Alternatively, you can plane shift from that plane to the material plane.

Once you use this feature, you must finish a long rest before you can use it again.

Monster Master

17th-level summoner feature

You can cast the dominate monster spell. If the creature is from your planar connection it is at disadvantage on its saving throw (DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier).

Once you use this feature, you must finish a long rest before you can use it again.

Superior Summoner

20th-level summoner feature

When you roll initiative and have no uses of summoning left, you regain one use, and a minion can now act on the same turn it was summoned.

Planar Connection

Your minions come from a specific plane of existence to which you have managed to form a strong connection with. The Nine Hells is the home to various breeds of devils. The Feywild holds the mercurial and playful fey. And the Elemental Plane is divided up into the Planes of Air, Earth, Fire, and Water where elementals of those essences roam.

Elemental Understanding

13th-level Elemental Plane feature

You have advantage on all saving throws against elementals and advantage on all Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma ability checks involving elementals. Also elementals have disadvantage on all attack rolls against you.

Transform Matter

18th-level Elemental Plane feature

As an action, you gain the ability to transform the world around you into the most basic elements for the next hour. During this time you can take 1 minute to transform up to 10 5-foot cubes within a range of 100 feet you. The cubes become your choice of air, earth, fire, or water (choose for each cube). You can only transform a cube if it is comprised of air, earth, fire, or water or other natural equivalents (e.g. gems, metals, trees). If the cube has a structure or creature in it, the created element simply surrounds the it. You cannot change a cube that is comprised wholly of a creature or a structure.

The cubes will remain in their place and shape, regardless if they would normally fall or spill over into the surrounding area. If a creature enters or starts its turn in a fire cube it takes 2d8 fire damage.

When the hour is finished, the cubes return to their original material.

Once you use this feature, you must finish a long rest before you can use it again.

Feywild

The Feywild is a place of tricks and cruelty, but also of beauty and wonder. It is the hardened conjurer that can dominate creatures of such a realm.

Nine Hells

The Nine Hells is a stringent hierarchy where the lowly serve the great. Bending its denizens to your unyielding will is a capable task indeed.

Mouth of Hell

18th-level Nine Hells feature

At the 18th level, as an action you open a mouth to hell in an unoccupied 5 feet square in a range of 100 feet from you. 20 imps pour out from the hell hole. Each creature in a 40 foot radius of the hole must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier). On a failed save, it takes 1d6 piercing damage and 1d6 poison damage per imp that attacks it or half as much on a success.

Imps will attack evenly amongst all creatures(e.g. if there are 5 creatures each is attacked by 4 imps). If there are not an even number of creatures the remainder imps attack the closest available creatures (e.g. if there are 6 creatures, 4 creatures would be attacked by 3 imps and the 2 closest creatures to the hole would be attacked by 4 imps). After the attacks, the imps return to hell and the mouth is closed.

Once you use this feature, you must finish a long rest before you can use it again.

Minions

You may only summon the minions specified in your Planar Connection.
