Pride of Nobanion

This spell is a specialized variant of the 5th-level priest spell animal summoning II. By means of this spell, the caster calls a number of great cats whose combined Hit Dice total 48 or less. If more than one species is available, the race with greater Hit Dice is summoned. Common lions are always summoned to the exclusion of all other great cats if they are available. Only great cats within 1 mile of the spellcaster at the time of the casting respond, but such felines include cantobeles, cath shee, cheetahs, dragonnes, jaguars, leopards, lions, mountain lions, spotted lions, giant lynxes, tigers, red tigers (snow cats), smilodons, and thylacines among ochers.

Unlike the animal summoning II spell, the caster can only make one call as she or he does not get to choose what form of great cat shows up, if any. The great cats summoned aid the caster by whatever mean they possess, staying until a fight is over, a specific mission is finished, the caster is safe, they are sent away, etc.

Notes: Granted by Nobanion, the Lion King, of the Forgotten Realms setting.
