I mean, except maybe for the dragon itself—if they’re not on board with the idea, that might very well put a damper on the plan.

Well, sorta… it’s more akin to what we saw in the Necromancer playtest, except with a single big “horde” rather than individual “thralls”. The minions aren’t following you around all the time. But in a lot of environments, that’s a feature, not a bug.

And in fact, BATTLECRY! includes an archetype precisely along those lines in the Necrologist.

Excellent point. Summon spells usually aren't my thing, so I tend to forget about them entirely.

Also, gotta shout out a personal fave in Organsight. Hey 12th-level Cleric; you got a crazy Medicine bonus, right? And you know Needle Darts, right? Right. Glad we had this talk. Enjoy being an auto-turret. (With precious metal ammo!) Heighten not only unneeded, but imo not worth the higher slot.

"Why does your Cloistered Cleric carry around a big bag of non-magical weapons?"
"In case I need to pilot a boat, obviously!"

I love it!

Ah yes, the classic “Ellen Ripley Method” (it’s the only way to be sure!)

I don't doubt it!

Like you always say, gotta hit that target number of carries! 😁
