The Spirit Legion: 10 spectres that spread out and attack all enemies in the area.

WIZ/SOR:

Ancient Elemental (Random: Air/Earth/Water/Fire): beefed up versions of standard elementals.

Huge Wood Woad: We've seen it in action. Make it tougher and let it stomp its way into the fray.

There is no SP cost for these summons. They are meant to assist in an on and off manner, that's why they have such a short duration and such a long cooldown.

These things are meant to change a battle, but not all of them. They are to create IMPACT, not duration.

Not bad.

This looks like a lot of fun! I like your style of "impact on the fight" thing. Some points of feedback:

-5 minutes doesn't seem very ling at all. For it being free to use and this powerful, I think 10 minute cool down (starting at the point of summon) is more reasonable. Perhaps to balance this, a 2 minute duration would be considered.

-

The Spirit Legion: 10 spectres that spread out and attack all enemies in the area.

This one looks very lag-inducing, throwing all those monster onto the feild at once. I'd scrap it. As well, most clerics aren't in the habit of forcing tormented souls to do their bidding.

-

Bladeforged Juggernaut: A taunting, charging, cleaving mass of blades and brutality.

Not very desirable to have a player-race summon. Scrap the robot.

-I like the idea of certain summons being random. Others may not, but then I guess they can just use one of the static ones instead. Keep those as is.

-To make this work, I might have to be presented as 4 different feats for one to choose from - one for each catagory. You don't want the feat checking every time if you have 12 lvs of class X.
For instance, I am a lv 21 druid. It would check: do I have cleric lvs? no. I have the FvS levels? no... and so on. You don't want it performing that check every single time you cast it. It would be neat and tidy to have it as one single feat, but not practice.


Wow, now I KNOW I would find myself excited were this feature introduced
