## The Summoner

Loneliness. Weakness. The call to adventure. For most people these are passing moments, a part of the ups and downs of everyday life. There are those however, who are defined by these feelings. Whether feeling alone in a crowd, powerless to get what they deserve or eager to see all things the world has to offer, Bonders have taken a drastic step to solve their problems. Unable to meet the demands of the world alone they choose to give up a piece of their soul to bond with another creature and face life's challenges together.

### A Companion for Life
When Summoners bind themselves to their Eidolon, they do so for life. They will stand against the world, together as one. They will always look out for each other, because in the end, they need each other. Whether they like it or not. The Eidolon will often be the stronger of the pair, but without the Summoner to guide it, the Eidolon is nowhere near its full potential.

### Split Soul
The process of binding your soul with another creature can be quite taxing, especially if the creature isn't willing at first. Some people disappear into the wild to find a forest animal willing to bind, and return months later with a beast by their side willing to do anything for them, while others would rather summon a creature of untold horror, force it into submission, then bind the creature to follow their command. Some come across a friendly spirit and together their friendship fulls a powerful bond. However, having your soul bound to another creature means that your soul will never be full again. There is always something missing. It gets even more apparent for the Summoner when their Eidolon is far away from them, and can sometimes be physically painful for them to be a great distance from their Eidolon.

### Creating a Summoner
When making your Summoner you must consider how you got your Eidolon. Did you travel the world to seek a companion, was it easy for you, or was it a life goal, was it even your choice to bind your soul? Maybe you were captured by cultist, that forced you to bind with a creature against yours and the creatures will.

What kind of relationship do you have with your companion? Are you two inseparable friends? Or is it more of a master and servant relationship. Sometimes a Summoner might regret the act of soul binding and want to undo it, though it is a hard and lengthy process.

Summoners are in contact with their Eidolon like no other two beings will ever be, and when you play as a Summoner you can describe how you and your companion act.

#### Quick Build
You can make a Summoner fast by following these suggestions. First, Charisma should be your highest ability modifier, followed by Constitution or Dexterity, depending if you need to take damage, or deal it. Second, you should take the Hermit background.

### Soul Bond
At 1st level, you have chosen to sacrifice a piece of your own soul to gain the aid of a creature stronger than you and to bolster your connection to the . You can choose one of several bonds detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you additional features when you reach 3rd level and again at 6th, 10th and 14th levels.

### Bonded Companion
At 1st level, you gain a companion that will serve and aid you in every way it possibly can. When you gain your first summoner level you must also create your companion, see rules for creating a companion in APPENDIX A. Your companion can understand any language you can speak, but it can't speak itself.

The companion gains bonuses from being linked to your essence. In combat, the companion moves and acts on your turn in initiative. You can command it verbally (no action needed) and if you are incapacitated, it will do its best to protect you and itself from harm.

You and your companion both become empowered from the bond you share but your companion needs guidance, your companion can only take the dodge action on its own, if you want it to take other actions you must use your action to command it to do so. If you are incapacitated or absent, your companion can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.

Whenever you gain the Ability Score Improvement class feature in this class, your companion's abilities also improve. You can increase one of its ability scores of your choice by 2, or you can increase two of its ability scores of your choice by 1. At the DM's discretion you can forgo increasing the companion's ability scores and instead take one feat of your choice for it. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature unless its description specifies otherwise.

Your companion aids you in and out of battle, as it gains bonuses for being linked to your essence. It gains proficiency in two skills of your choice. In areas where it would use its proficiency bonus, it uses your proficiency bonus instead. It also uses your proficiency bonus when calculating its AC. Your companion can understand the languages you speak, but can't speak itself.

Your companion will always use Strength for its attack and damage rolls (unless otherwise specified), and its damage dice is shown in the companion's stat block. If a feature for your companion requires another creature to make a saving throw, the DC is equal to your Spell Save DC.

If your companion is reduced to 0 hit points, it falls unconscious and makes death saving throws. If it is killed, you can return it to life, as an action you can touch it and spend 1 spell slot, after 1 minute it will come back to life with all its hitpoints, or you can resummon it again at the end of a long rest, if you resummon it this way while its alive it will be teleported to you. The process of reviving can be very hard on your soul, gaining one level of exhaustion at the end of the rest when you revive your companion.

If you die your companion will gain 1 level of exhaustion for each minute you are dead until you are revived again or the companion dies too.

\columnbreak

### Symbiotic Link

You have sacrificed much of your essence to form the bond you have with your companion, but it will in turn protect you with everything it can, at 1st level you gain the following benefits while within 60 feet of your companion:

- When you take damage you can use your reaction to transfer that damage to your companion.

- When you spend a hit dice to recover hit points during a short rest, your companion will heal for twice the amount of the healing you got from your hit dice.

- If you are reduced to 0 hit points you can use your reaction to sacrifice your companion to save you, your companion will die but you are healed for an amount equal to the amount of hit points your companion had left.

#### Planar Commander
Your Eidolon helps to bolster your command and bond with the other creatures you summon or create.

As long as your Eidolon is within 30 ft. of you creatures you summon or create gain the following features:

- The creature's hit point maximum increases by an amount equal to summoner level.
- The creature adds your proficiency bonus to its skill checks.
- The creatures use your spell DC and to hit if higher than their to hit and DC's.
- You can choose your Eidolon type from one of the following options: celestial, construct, dragon, elemental, fey, fiend, plant, aberration, undead or monstrosity. Any creature you summon or create using spells or class features may also gain this type and/or your "Soul Bond" Type.

\pagebreakNum

### Hidden Form
You have learned how to reduce your companion's size or hide them on another plane for an easy way to hide or carry it. At 1st level you learn one of the following features:

- **Shrink:** You can use your bonus action to change your companion's size to Tiny or back to its full size if it is within 30 feet of you. If there isn't enough space for it to grow to its original size, it instead takes 1d10 force damage and stays Tiny. While in Tiny form, the companion can't attack in any way.

- **Pocket Dimension:** As an action, you can temporarily dismiss your companion as long as it is within 5 feet of you. It disappears into a pocket dimension where it awaits your summons. As an action, while it is dismissed, you can cause it to reappear in any unoccupied space within 5 feet of you. If you go unconscious while your companion is in its pocket dimension, it reappears within 5 feet on you.

- **Disguise:** As an action you can create an illusion around your companion that makes it looks like another beast or humanoid of similar build and size, such as making a drake look like a dog, or a demon look like a farmer. The disguise end if your companion takes any damage, deals damage to another creature or you end it as an action.

At the end of a long rest you can choose to swap out your hidden form feature for a different one.

### Spellcasting
At 1st level, you are able to use some magic to help your allies or bolster your companion. See Chapter 10 in the Player's Handbook for the general rules of spellcasting and the Summoner spell list can be found near the end of this document.

#### Cantrips
At 1st level, you know four cantrips of your choice from the summoner spell list. You learn an additional summoner cantrip of your choice at 4th level and another at 10th level.

#### Preparing and Casting Spells
The Summoner table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your cleric spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

You prepare the list of Summoner spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the summoner spell list. When you do so, choose a number of summoner spells equal to your charisma modifier + your summoner level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

For example, if you are a 3rd-level cleric, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Wisdom of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell cure wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn’t remove it from your list of prepared spells.

You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of summoner spells requires time spent in meditation with your Eidolon: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.

#### Spellcasting Ability

Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your summoner spells, since the power of your magic relies on you being able to communicate with your Eidolon and the bond that you share. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a soul binder spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus +

your Charisma modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus +

your Charisma modifier

#### Spellcasting Focus
You can use an arcane focus (see the Adventuring Gear section) as a spellcasting focus for your summoner spells.

\pagebreakNum

### Edict
You have gotten better control over your companion and can give it more complicated commands. You can use an action to speak a command to your companion. It must be able to hear you for the command to take effect. 
At 2nd level, you learn the following commands:

- **Strike:** You command your companion to attack with extra ferocity. The next time your companion hits another creature with an attack this turn, that attack deals extra 2d6 damage.

- **Toughen Up:** You command your companion to toughen up and be ready to withstand even more blows. Your companion gains 2d6 temporary hit points that last for 10 minutes.

- **Block:** You command your companion to evade or block incoming attacks rather than taking them. Until the end of your next turn your companion can add your Charisma modifier to any saving throw it has to make, and add half your Charimsa modifier (rounded up) to its AC.

- **Move:** You tell your companion that it needs to move fast, or move safely. When given this command your companion can take the Disengage or Dash action as a bonus action on this turn.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1), regaining all uses on a long rest.

The amount of dice for the "Strike" and "Toughen Up" edict increase as you gain levels in this class, increasing to 3d6 at 5th level, 4d6 at 11th level and 5d6 at 17th level.

### Project Senses
Beginning at 2nd level you can project your mind into your companion. As an action, you can see through your companion’s eyes and hear what it hears until the start of your next turn, gaining the benefits of any special senses that the companion has. During this time, you are deaf and blind with regard to your own senses. While you are seeing with your companion's eyes you can also choose to speak though it with your own voice being projected from its mouth.

### Keen Guidance
Starting at 3rd level you can now give your companion commands more easily.

You can now command your companion to take an action on your turn as a bonus action instead of an action.

### Magic Item Absorption
When you reach 3rd level, the Bonder can perform a special ritual to merge a magic item into its companion during a short rest. Merging with an item requires physical contact between the Bonder, the item and the companion.

Certain items have prerequisites. The companion must meet any prerequisite for the item to successfully merge with it. Your companion cannot merge with items requiring a class prerequisite. If the short rest is interrupted, the merging fails. Otherwise, at the end of the short rest, the item merges into the companion.

While merged, the companion gains an intuitive understanding of how to activate any magical properties of the item, including any necessary Command words. Your companion can use the magical properties of the item and apply the effects to its natural weapons and natural armor, but doesn't get the benefit of the armor or weapon itself. It can only have one weapon merged at a time, and one piece of armor. The companions natural weapons can only benefit from one of the merged items, and you can change this on a short rest, the same goes for its natural armor. If it absorbs a weapon, its attacks becomes magical.

Example: if you bind a +1 Plate armor to your companion it gains +1 to its AC, but not the benefits of wearing Plate armor. Each merged item within the creature counts as an attunement for the Bonder, regardless if whether the item required attunement. Attempting to merge with more than three items fails automatically. The Bonder can voluntarily end the merge by spending another short rest focused on the item, unless the item is cursed.

If the companion dies, all the merges items are expelled from its corpse on the ground around it.

\pagebreakNum

### Advanced Offense
You have improved your control over your companion and can offer it better guidance in combat.

Starting at 5th when you use an action to command your companion and they take the attack action this turn, your companion can make two attacks instead of one. Additionally as part of this action you can use one of your edicts. These benefits don't apply if you command your companion as a bonus action.

### Soul Linked Casting
You and your companion are of the same soul, and you can channel magic through your link.

At 5th level, when you cast a spell targeting yourself, you can choose to also have the spell affect your companion if the companion is within 60 feet of you. If you lose concentration on the spell, you both lose the effect, and you must make concentration checks also if your companion takes damage, as if you took that amount of damage.

\pagebreakNum

### Soul Infused Bond
Starting at 6th level, your bond to your companion strengthens considerably. Your Companion's attacks count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

It gains proficiency in all saving throws. Additionally, it has advantage on Intelligence and Charisma saving throws when you are within 100 feet of it and it can see you.

Also, as an action, a summoner can call his companion to his side. This functions as casting dimension door. When used, the companion appears adjacent to the summoner (or as close as possible if all adjacent spaces are occupied). If your companion is out of range, the ability is wasted. You cannot use this feature again until you finish a short or long rest.

You can now cast spells from your Eidolon space as if cast from you making the range based on its location.

### Resting Voice
Beginning at 9th level you now regain all uses of your edicts on a short or long rest.

### Countermeasure
At 10th level, your companion is very protective of you and will harm anyone who seeks to hurt you. When you are targeted by an attack, your companion can take one of the following reactions:

- **Revenge:** The companion can use its reaction to make one attack against the enemy if it is within range.

- **Roar:** It uses its reaction to let out a frightful roar to impose disadvantage on the attack roll as long as the attacker is within 30 feet of it and is not deafened.

- **Body Shield:** If your companion is within 5 feet of you when the attack is made, it can use its reaction to redirect the attack to target the companion instead.

### Soul Shield
At 11th level you can use some of your magic to shield your companion from attacks.

When your companion takes damage while within 60 feet, you can use your reaction to grant it resistance to that damage.

Additionally you can now transfer damage to your companion via the "Symbiotic Link" feature, without needing to use your reaction.

### Soul Purification
When you reach 13th level you can use your soul energy to flush out any negative effects currently impeding your companion.

If your companion is affected by a magical effect that allows it to make a saving throw at the start or end of its turns, or as an action, you can use your action to allow your companion to immediately attempt to make the saving throw even if it has already done so on said turn.

### Resonating Voice
At 18th level you use your magic to command your Eidolon with a voice that resonates with your shared soul bond.

When you use an edict you can select another edict you know and have that affect your companion as well.

### Soul Infused Giant
When you reach 20th level you can infuse your companion with all your energy to make it into a behemoth of raw power.

As an action while your companion is within 120 feet, you can choose to transform it, while it is transformed it gains the following benefits:

- It increases its size by two category – from Medium to Huge, for example
- Its attacks deals an extra 2d10.
- It deals double damage to structures.
- Its current and maximum hit points are increased by 50.
- Its movement speed is doubled.

The transformation ends after 1 hour has passed, the companion goes unconscious or you end it as an action. Once you have used this feature you must finish a long rest before you can use it again.

- Your companions creature type is Beast.

- You and your companion gain an extra 5 feet walking speed.

- Beasts can understand you and your companion, and you gain the ability to decipher their noises and motions. Most beasts lack the intelligence to convey or understand sophisticated concepts, but a friendly beast could relay what it has seen or heard in the recent past. This ability doesn't grant you friendship with beasts, though you can combine this ability with gifts to curry favor with them as you would with any nonplayer character.

#### Benefit of the Bond: Martial
Additionally starting at 1st level you gain some of your companions experience in close quarter combat.

You gain proficiency in martial weapons and medium armor. Your hit point maximum increases by 1 and increases by 1 again whenever you gain a level in this class.

#### Call of the Wild

- **Hawk Spirit:** The creature that was hit must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be blinded until the end of your next turn.

- **Dodge and Evade:** Until the end of your next turn, whenever your beast is hit by an attack that it can see, it can use its reaction to reduce the incoming attack's damage by half.

#### Pack Takedown
When you reach 14th level you and your companion can combine your powers to overwhelm even the strongest foe.

If both you and your companion is within 5 feet of a creature you can use an action to put a mark on that creature which lasts until the end of your turn, as part of this action you can also make one weapon attack against the marked creature. At the end of your turn if either you or your companion has hit the creature with an attack the creature must make a Constitution saving throw, on a failed save the creature is stunned until the end of your next turn. If both you and your companion hit the creature it will have disadvantage on the saving throw.

Once you have used this feature you can't do so again until you finish a long rest or use one of your edicts.
