Summoning Knight Magic
Starting at 3rd level, you learn an additional spell when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Summoning Knight Spells table. The spell counts as a ranger spell for you, but it doesn’t count against the number of ranger spells you know.
Summoning Knight Spells
| Ranger Level | Spell |
|---|---|
| 3rd | find familiar |
| 5th | find steed |
| 9th | summon fey |
| 13th | summon elemental |
| 17th | summon dragon |
Hunting Partner
At 3rd level, you and your summons are in sync when encountering a quarry.
When a creature you have summoned hits a creature with an attack, you can spend a favored enemy to mark the target of the attack with hunter's mark as part of the same concentration. If you loose concentration on one you loose concentration on both.
At 13th level, your summons also benefit from relentless hunter.
Enhanced Familiar
At 3rd level, you become more adept at summoning familiars.
When you cast find familiar, you can summon any creature that is CR 1 or lower. They can take the attack action to make one attack. This becomes two attacks at 11th level.
Empowered Summons
At 7th level, you learn how to bolster your summons from harm. Your conjured summons gain temporary HP equal to twice your level when summoned.
Upcasting Savant
At 11th level, you learn how to empower your lower level summons even more so at higher levels. When you upcast your conjured summons to a higher level than the original, they gain the additional benefits.
Every level upcasted above the original, their strength, dexterity, and constitution scores increase by two (to a maximum of 30).
Every two levels upcasted above the original, their size increases by one and their speed increases by 5ft.
Favored Summon
At 15th level, the might of your summons is paramount. When you summon a creature, you can send one favored enemy as part of that casting to upcast the summon by one level.
