I agree. You should start off summoning monsters that can actually deal damage and weild items like goblins. And higher levels should be able to summon dragons. That would open a whole new ballgame on using monsters.

I am fairly sure that you can't wield monsters, nonetheless I now have a mental picture of a hill giant swinging a goblin at some skeletons....

Lol! I'm fairly sure Bort means "summoning monsters such as goblins, that can actually deal damage and weild weapons/armor"

Yeah, probably, but I want a one-handed goblin +5....

im pretty sure most monsters would become 2 handed, unless you can grab a goblin with one arm...

but if your teleported on top of a monter, such as skeletons in a chest, or mice infested maps, you should be able to pick it up, and wield it as a club... think troll swinging hobits...

or maybe you should carry around a weapon handle, and use it to 'create' a weapon from a monster....

'shove
# marked item "a handle"
# where would you like to shove your handle?
'mark goblin
# you shove the handle up the goblins ...
'wield goblin
# you wield goblin

first thought when i read that. but where else would you put the handle?

Instead of adding higher levels of monsters to the spell, I was thinking of making another spell for summoning higher level monsters. summon greater pet monster or something. It would kind of start where this one leaves off. Also there were to be some different themed summoning spells of which Magehound was the first in the series. Gather ye a balanced listing of pets and the appropriate levels and it is simple to create a summon spell for them.
