Class(ic) Introductions: The Summoner - Part 1: The Caster [Pathfinder 2e]
45Hello Travelers & Tourists!
Welcome back to Class(ic) Introductions, a series where we take a look at different classes in TTRPGs & ask what they have to offer players at the gaming table! This week, we're looking at the Summoner for Pathfinder 2nd Edition, a spellcaster that has formed a powerful bond with a magical creature known as an Eidolon!
The Summoner is easily one of the most unique & most complicated classes in Pathfinder 2nd Edition, meaning that, for the first time in this series, I am splitting this video into two parts!
In this video, we're going to discuss the Summoner themselves - the Caster half of this incredible duo! Then, in Part Two of this video, we'll come back & examine their Eidolon in depth.
We will, however, be examining both through the lens of our Core Seven Questions in this series:
1) What is the Class Role of the Summoner?
2) How Complex is the Summoner?
3) What are the Key Terms & Concepts to know for the Summoner?
4) What are the Strengths of the Summoner?
5) What are the Weaknesses of the Summoner?
6) What Build Options / Subclasses does the Summoner offer?
7) How can I "Get the Most" out of the Summoner in play?
