The scaling on magnetic pinions seems crazy. 12d4 total damage at (character) level 3? 30d4 at character level 9… this makes Inner Radiance Torrent’s scaling look slow
A YouTube video I watched recently claimed that summoners might have been considered a bad class in second edition. However, it doesn’t seem like that at a glance - there’s opportunities for various creatures and beings to stand by your side, such as a plant monster kinda like Blossomon, a stegosaurus, dragons, and so on....
I guess so, but that’s basically saying that if you want to do more things it costs more money. And the Summoner is uniquely good at doing more things because they have effectively more actions than everyone else, but that’s certainly not a bad thing.
After taking a (well-deserved) jab at summoning, I think it’s only fair I dive into what I believe is a subgroup of spells that serve the purpose people incorrectly pin on summoning. You’ve seen the title: I’m talking about illusions...
You’re right, sucking up an action at a minimum from every affected creature is great for a L1 spell, and it can even take an enemy out of a fight on a failed save without having to worry about Incapacitation.

Don't overlook the illusion school!
