Version 0.13: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
Summoners specialise in calling creatures from this (and other) worlds to serve them. Although they can at first summon only very wimpy creatures, the more advanced summoning spells allow them to call on such powers as elementals and demons.
Starting Equipment
Some species may receive different items based on their unique restrictions.
- +0 robe
- Book of Callings
- Bread ration
- 20 gold
Starting Skills
These are adjusted by your species' aptitudes.
- Dodging: 2
- Stealth: 2
- Spellcasting: 1
- Summonings: 4
Strategy
Recommended species for Summoner include Deep Elf, Sludge Elf, Kobold, Naga, Draconian, Ogre, Tengu, Vampire, and Mummy.
Relying on summoned creatures to kill opponents for you does reduce your gained XP somewhat. Don't be afraid to get your hands a little dirty when dealing with generally harmless foes.
History
In 0.14 they will start with 2 Spellcasting.
