SUMMON MONSTER TABLES, let the project begin

[cure]

I present the following as a beginning of a comprehensive list of tables for Monster Summons and Summon Nature's Ally. This is not a project that I am going to do all by myself so your assistance is solicited.

In particular there is a table for creatures with the Mists subtype that can be summoned anywhere, a table of creatures with the Dream subtype that can be summoned in dreamscapes, and a table for Falkovnia which also includes the creatures of the previous two subtypes.

I have followed the PHB tables where applicable, have followed the fauna table for Falkovnia from Gazetteer 2 where applicable, have substituted within the limits of atmosphere creatures from Denizen's of Dread and like sources, and have tried to avoid as much as possible using generic monsters from the d20 universe to fill in empty wholes. There are no undead. There are neither constructs nor oozes (at least for the Falkovnian table). Outsiders with reality wrinkles and hence capable of spiriting casters across closed borders are and are to be excluded. Monstrous humaniods and abberations are mostly if not entirely excluded. Indeed most moderately to highly intelligent and individuated monsters are excluded. This last condition seems to summarise the spirit of the PHB tables, at least at low levels. Hence no kobolds, or humans, or shadow fey for example.

An astrix indicates a Denizens of Dread monster.

A quesstion mark before an entry indicates that I am a little uncertain of its appropriateness either at that particular spell level or in its entirety. For example, the paralysing screech and the petrifing gaze of the Carrion Bat and the Basilisk perhaps make them inappropriate at any level?

There are other dream creatures that could be added to the dreamscape table but I am unsure of their appropriateness. But turning that around, I wonder if any creature at all of the PHB of which a caster has a reasonably good idea should not be summonable within a dreamscape.

Good work Cure. Although I think you should up it up a bit. Summoning monsters in Ravenloft, especially misty outsiders warrants a PCheck and it also has the danger of the thing going against you. So the monsters should be a bit more powerful than the ones presented in the PHB.
