  • In this video we'll be going over the best magic items that specifically have the ability to summon creatures, without too much worrying on how they're able to summon those creatures, just as long as they're able to bring in another creature into the battle to help you in some way.

    I can definitely attest to the action economy power of these items, when I gave my party of level 3s going through a module but a single Cloak of Snakes, and the wizard spent every bonus action during the BBEG fight just summoning snakes until everything perished under their poisonous might.

  • @hopeforescape884
    @hopeforescape884 Před 2 lety +13

    I always pick the Air elemental since they can fly, thats a big deal to me, what is the fire elemental going to do against a flying creature with ranged attacks? and it has 90 ft fly so it can catch up to dragons (all dragons only have a 80 ft fly speed)
    Also, I think the elephant one is not as good since you can just buy an elephant for 200 GP and don't need a rare magic item which is very difficult to come by.

    • @TheDDLogs
      @TheDDLogs  Před 2 lety +7

      2 things with the elephant. 1: There's prices for explosives and guns in the DMG, but that doesn't mean you'll be able to buy them in any game. Same with Elephants. 2: If you do manage to buy one, that doesn't mean you can get it to attack with you, or even listen to you.
      If your DM handwaves the availability of elephants and lets you control it perfectly with almost no restrictions, then sure it is better. But at that point almost all the summon items are useless if your DM is that lenient with letting you get any animals you want to fight alongside you.

    I still think that the CR0 creatures from the Bag of Tricks could come in handy, maybe not in the combat departament but they could bring some utility. At least the Jackal has some utility with his keen hearing and smell and the baboon does have thumbs, they could arguably manuever some simple objects

    I wonder if the newest book, Fizban's Treasury of Dragon's was taken into account. Within is the Gold Canary Figurine, a figurine that can become an Adult Gold Dragon under certain conditions. While it is a legendary item, having an Adult Gold Dragon as an ally, even if only for an hour, is going to be SUPER good.

    There is a better use for the wand of orcus, summon 5 mummy lords to fight for you. They are CR15 and 10th level casters, and they also know animate dead. If they spend all their spells slot summoning zombies or skeletons you can raise your number of undead much higher than that. And you have still 5 powerfull undead with you, so this is a big win
