  • Seedcasting: The Creator increases all casting features as if the character had gained a level in the appropriate class at each indicated level.
  • Hold In There (Su): What good is a creation that doesn't finish the job? The Creator increases the duration of his Summon category spells by one time increment per Creator level. Thus if measured in rounds, it adds one round per Creator level. If minutes, one minute per Creator level, and so on.
  • Special Augmentation (Su): Reduce the cost of any spell cast via Augmented Creation by one spell point per Creator level, minimum 1.
  • Force of Growth (Su): The Creator may force a summoned creature to grow as it is being summoned, causing it to gain Hit Dice and all the benefits that entails. However, the summoned monster must make both a Will and Fortitude save at a DC of 10 + 3 per forced Hit Die of growth. If it fails the Will save, the forced growth has affected its mind and it is permanently confused. If it fails the Fortitude save, the creature dies from the enlarging of its body. The Creator may force a maximum of one Hit Dice per class level per summon.
AUGMENTED CREATION [SEED]
There's something a little special about this one
Prerequisites: Able to cast spells using seeds
Benefit: When you cast a spell using a Summon category spell seed, you may cast a second spell as a swift action. The second spell must target only the creature created via the Summon spell seed, and can only expend a number of spell points equal to 1/2 your caster level (minimum 1).

Force of Growth is kind of weird but otherwise the class looks fine.

Got any recommendations as to how to improve? The goal is something that makes bigger summons but with a risk.

Probably should lower the save a little at least. It's brutal right now.

Especially if you're summoning animals!

Yeah, they'd fail that will save every time. Plus three per?

Seems like a good starting point. I don't really have any ideas for this one.

Why not replace the saves with a flat percentage chance based on extra HD, similar to the Wilder's Surge feature? That keeps the risk:reward ratio more even-handed and easier to predict.

It's only ever going to be max of three, so do you recommend a 10% fail?

The third level ability name of text and table don't match.
Hmm.
