Summoner
A Summoner can start the game with a Tier II or lower summoned creature in its Awareness area, which could be brought to the field by one of the Conjuration Spells available to them (with no roll nor spending of an Activation Point required). A Summoner may share its pool of Mana Counters with other Summoners in the party. (If the Summoner becomes Incapacitated, its accumulated Mana Counters are discarded.)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: If I have a summoner with STA 2, can I summon a creature of Tier 3 or more?
A: Yes, as long as your Summoning Limit is not full at the time of casting the Spell that summons the Tier 3 or higher creature. You can exceed your limit if it is not full, but you cannot summon new creatures if your limit is full.
Q: Does the summoned creature that a model with Summoner Class starts the game with count toward the Summoning Limit?
A: Yes.
Q: A Gargoyle is summoned within LoS of one of my models. Can my model react?
A: No. The Gargoyle is not the Active model. For a legal Reaction, the model would need LoS or Awareness of the summoning model.
Q: Do summoned creatures count toward Broken Morale?
A: No.
Q: How does Dispel work against summoned creatures?
A: Dispel must target the summoned creature, so the caster cannot use the Targetless Trait. If the summoned creature is hit by Dispel, it is immediately removed from the field without any further rolls. A creature may Dodge the Dispel.
Q: If Chiyohime summons a Riftspawn using her Deathweaving Fan, where is it placed, and does it count toward the Summoning Limit?
A: The Riftspawn is placed in Base Contact with her, regardless of where Dead models are. It counts as a summoned model and follows all summoning rules, including counting toward the Summoning Limit and being removed if Chiyohime becomes Incapacitated.
