none are more skilled at it than the summoner. These
practitioners of the arcane arts have, intentionally or by
chance, discovered secrets to long forgotten contracts with
otherworldly beings. Through such bonds, these beings find
their way onto the material plane and form alliances with the
summoners

Over time, the two become linked, eventually even sharing
a shard of the same soul. But this power comes with a price:
the summoner’s spells and abilities are limited due to his
time spent enhancing the power and exploring the nature of
his eidolon.

The
Summoner's

Codex

I have always maintained that D&D 5e doesn't
have any good summoning potential. When this
project started it was mostly a port from
Pathfinder 2E's summoner class, but now it has
evolved into something more.
Over the course of a year, and with the help of
community feedback, i bring you the
Summoner's Codex, a living project, centered
around summoning and the study of the planes.
