Will Eftu have unique summons/Regeants like CoA did? I thought they were a rather intreasting feature and I would like to know if Eftu will have the same.
Question: Unique Summons/Regeants
Having a vast amount of different and unique summons for people of certain classes/alignments/races etc really adds a huge amount to the server.
I think it really adds to a character's personality and identity, makes the summon spells more useful and gives a sort of "spell component" theme to spellcraft, which can open up loads of RP opportunities.
If the DMs implement a relatively balanced, fully working system, we can only stand to gain.
The only drawback is that I should imagine it's incredibly complex to script and massively time consuming. Aside from that though, I think it's a really good suggestion.

It's actually pretty easy to script. The time-consuming aspect is designing the summons and (moreover) balancing the themes.
And yes... we have plans. Oh yes, we have plans for a custom summoning system. It shall be similar to CoA's system... with some marked differences.
Hax!
I was never really good with scripting anyways.
By the way-- suggestions about possible improvements to the system are always wanted. I have plans of my own, but if you have good ideas, I'm eager to incorporate them as well.
