The lowest summon spell in game Summon Beast gives you a 30 HP beast to put on the board. Yet Conjure Construct gives me only a 40 HP creature on the board. A creature that cost me a 4th level spell slot. As a 4th level full caster you are fighting CR 7 or 8 monsters that can almost 1 shot that construct you put on the board. It gets worse the higher the spells. Summon Draconic Spirit 5th level spell slot for a 50HP creature. by 5th level we're fighting CR 9 and 10 monsters that again are on an average round doing 40+ damage. Why would any wizard EVER use this spell. Summon Fiend is the same issue. 6th level spell slot, means I am now level 11 so CR 11 and 12 monsters with over 200 HP are on average doing 60 damage a round. I would just like the community to think about this game design and figure out why so many of the summon spells beyond 3rd level do not scale with the level of creatures players are pitted against. It makes all conjuring and summoning spells above Tier 1 play useless. Which, if I am honest makes me sad. Anyone else thinking this or am I just missing something?
