Re: Can Someone Walk Me Through Rolling Up a Summoned Entity?
Here is my most up to date version of the Spreadsheet for those that are interested.
Undiscovered bugs aside, I believe this version is 100% compliant with the LOTFP Rules as written with the exception of the tie on Domination Rule that I made up, and that there are only 6 slots for Appendages and Powers (that doesn't stop someone from using this to determine more)

James, right now the only way to get the base forms from 13 to 20 is to fail your Magic Save. As a Magic User increases in level his chances of Summoning some of the coolest things diminish greatly, because of his improving Magic Resistance. The solution to this problem seems to be the last paragraph of the spell description which says:
"Summon spells to call specific beings can be researched (or discovered). They will be first level spells but must be research as if they were a level equal to the summoned creature's Hit Dice + Number of Powers."
You've said you are going to be reworking this section a bit for the new printing. I would be glad to see some change here that would not make more powerful Magic Users less capable of summoning these neat things.
I would rather see an increase in the variety of things a Magic User could summon as he leveled, including the "OMG HE ROLLED A 20" ones. Rather than a decrease in that variety as you level.
Also, when rolling powers, if you failed your magic save, if you roll the max number for your Base Number on whichever die you have to use, you automatically fail Domination, because the creature will have an infinite number of powers.
Maybe the die you Roll to determine the base form increases in sides as you level?
