Summoning I, Incredible (Feat)

You are able to summon mightier creatures to be your allies.

Prerequisites: Caster Level 21, Cha 24, Ability to cast Summon Monster IX (Spell) as a spell you possess, Summoning Perfection (Feat)

Benefit: This feat grants several benefits, and may be used in different ways.

First, whenever you cast any monster summoning spell you possess, you summon one additional monster per casting of any level. This benefit is automatic, and accrues merely by possessing this feat.

Second, you may use Epic Summoning I as a metamagic feat that can only be applied to the Summon Monster and Gate spells. When used this way, Epic Summoning I adds +1 spell level and can only be used with ninth level summoning spells. When used as a metamagic feat, the player must coordinate with the GM in advance. The player, with the GM's approval, creates a new tier of monsters that can be accessed by your ninth level spells, when using a tenth level or higher spell slot.

To create this new tier, choose three creatures, each of whose HD is lower than your caster level. You can now summon these creatures as normal, including applying templates from other epic summoning feats.

Special: You may also use a ninth level spell with the Epic Summoning I feat applied as a metamagic feat to summon larger numbers of monsters from lower level monster lists, as Monster Summoning IX.
