The (not really) Official Endgame Summon Thread!

Hmmm. Well, if you give everybody 9 magic paths they will be more magically powerful than Chayot and on par with Seraphim, and far above most Wished pretenders. I may tone it down a bit in my games. E4N3 is plenty competitive in my book, since 4 is "high end" magic for national mages.

9 paths does seem extreme, but I guess Endo's idea is that they are all uniques, and at 200 gems apiece definitely not cheap.

Comments very welcome. I'm thinking he will be a water/earth summon (coming, as he does, from watery caves). Also having him be cross-path should make him a little rarer - we don't want grendelkin running around all over the place.

Pretty sweet. Maybe something could be done to jazz up his melee a bit? I mean I guess he does hit like a truck..... "Claw" just seems so uninteresting.

Also, perhaps he should get some natural reinvig, and maybe be amphibious, or poor amphibian at least?

I think amphibian would fit. Very cool, llamabeast!

[Ballbarian]

Looks like fun llamabeast!

[llamabeast]

Thanks guys!

Regarding amphibiousness: He does like water, but I can't see him wandering around on the sea bed (grendels don't like salt), so I'm not sure how well amphibian would fit.

As for reinvig etc: The real power of the guy is his full slots, which mean you can make up for any particular deficiencies like fatigueing. I don't think natural reinvig is necessarily thematic though, since it's a pretty rare thing in vanilla dominions.

Any ideas for alternatives to "claws"? And yes, he does hit like a truck! My first one got heroic strength, and rapidly reached strength 103! Smackdown!

Beowulf ripped an arm off one of THOSE??!!! Wow.

Nice pic.

Non-uniques, at least 100 gems for one + host (winter wolves etc), but only 3 misc slots. That's enough for antimagic and two immunities, but you can't boost their protection. I lowered the bear's protection to 16, 20 after E4 and regen to 10.

I'll lower them to just two paths (levels 4 and 3), at least for the first version.

Bracers?


I like the Roc, I see you gave him a shield, is this to simulate him being nearly invulnerable to arrows?
