Version 0.14: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
| The Summoner specialises in calling creatures from this and other worlds to give assistance. Although they can at first summon only very wimpy creatures, the more advanced summoning spells allow summoners to call on such powers as elementals and demons. |
Preferred Races
Deep Elf, Hill Orc, Merfolk, Tengu, Vine Stalker and Vampire are the recommended races if you pick a Summoner Background.
Starting Equipment
Some species may receive different items based on their unique restrictions.
- +0 robe
- Book of Callings
- Bread ration
