How does gate work then I cast it as my wizard and it is lvl 20 with only 25 ab not sure how that was buffed already.
I find mordikans sword (the helmed horror) very very weak. but I really appreciate the other buffs summons, it creates some great new variety.

It is set to summon a powerful Balor with a CR if 90. If the summoner is not a PC, then it summons the normal one.
By what you are saying, this isn't currently working as expected.

But, in any case, this is all going to change for PCs and mobs alike, it will be leveled up to match the summoner's hit dice, in the case of mobs, it will self limiting due to engine limitations.

I haven't noticed a change with the Druid companion either, at least with the Bear. It still displays this message upon being summoned.

Today i was checking few summon spells and tryed out the Black Blade of Dissaster and was wondering if this summon will get into the category of "summon buffed". Checked the stats, it is a lvl 8 mob with a really low BA (+24 in my case) and does 1d10+12 or so damage and the special ability with DC 16. (may be some of the main stats from caster involved here, don't know the system involved).

I know it is inmune to all damage sources with a weakness of been dispeled (only way to get rid of it). What it odds is the part of where it came the dissaster part of the name, since it miss most of the attacks it does. Is there a way to improve a little his BA with the caster level or somthing like that?

cya.

This is a timing issue along with the fact that the built in function that spawns summons is an effect and does not return the object.'[

I will have to implement a more robust work around.

Palemaster feats for summon working perfect.
Gate working.

All planar bindings not working, not sure if it is because of there is 1 summon for each of the 3 major alignments.
the Summon Dragon black dragon rod no buff.
