I recently made a Conjurer/Summoner, and I'm a bit confused as to how the components/focuses/reagents/etc. work.

I sort of feel my character would ICly know how they function, seeing as he'd at least know the basics.

My suggestion is for the DMs to post a "Summoning Guide" ICly or OOCly, which would more or less explain -how- to make it all work.

There wouldn't need to be spoilers as to what can be used for Reagents/Summoning focuses, rather just the steps taken to combine them all together to make them work. At the moment, I'm buying these summoning focuses, having little idea what to do with them, then these conjuration sands, having little idea what to do with those either. So while trial and error will eventually clear things out I feel it'd be costly to the character and should be unnecesary when the character -should- already know the basics since we'd assume he was taught the basics (Seeing as he starts out at level 2).

A guide to the basics would also give players/characters a jump-start to maybe publish their own guides ICly.

You mean make the guide easier to find. :)

There is already a guide that explains how it works. I think it involves examining the Conjuration Focus items sold by several merchants.

That "guide" isn't completely obvious.

I think being able to persue this in game....would be enough? =]
