Pseudodragon (Spell) - Dragon

(See also: Pseudodragon)

This spell is a draconic monster summoning spell that summons 2d4 pseudodragons within 1d4 rounds. The summoned pseudodragons are tiny replicas of the summoner; that is, a green dragon conjures green pseudodragons, a blue dragon summons blue ones, and so forth. The pseudodragons share the alignment of the dragon that cast the spell, and serve their summoner with complete loyalty. Otherwise, these pseudodragons conform to the abilities and characteristics of pseudodragons noted in the Monstrous Manual tome.

Once the pseudodragons arrive, they fight on the summoning dragon's behalf until they are slain, until the dragon commands them to stop fighting, or until the spell's duration expires. If all opponents are slain, the summoner must grant the pseudodragons a portion of the kill.

If no opponents are available, the dragon can assign the pseudodragons other tasks. In return, the dragon must give each pseudodragon a gem-stone (before aid is rendered) worth at least 50 gp. If no gems are forthcoming, the summoned dragons immediately return from whence they came. Similarly, the dragon must give each surviving pseudodragon a 50 gp gemstone after a battle with the dragon's enemies. (If a dragon makes a habit of killing or refusing to pay the pseudodragons, the pseudodragons summoned by subsequent castings may refuse to assist or may simply refuse to answer the summons.)
