Alternative Conjuring Rules - Templates

Conjuring Templates

If you're looking to use conjure to bring a new entity into a combat encounter, then you'll need to chose one of the basic templates listed below. When you summon a creature, use the entries under each creature category to see how to modify the template. If a Triumph result comes up on a Conjure magic skill check, your summoned creature(s) benefit from the Empowered feature listed under their entry. An additional Triumph may be used to add Adversary 1.

  To use a template, first chose which level of conjure you're wanting to use.
 

 

 

  Then, you may choose which elemental profile you want to apply to your summoned entity. Elemental creatures usually appear as humanoid creatures comprised of their specific element, but they can take nearly any shape. Air and Water elementals frequently take no specific shape. You may choose what type of elemental beings you wish to summon. You may only summon elemental beings of one type per skill check. Some elementals have the "forbidden" tag next to their name. Each of these elementals have been singled out as they have an extra condition that needs to be met before they can be summoned. This requirement is unique for each elemental and should be discussed with your GM. The profile for each type of elemental is modified as follows:
