Summon Streams and Scrolls

Post by Roarthing » Fri Jun 15, 2018 11:31 am

Hello :)

I found a Demon Stream book on my Fey Warlock, after using the daily summons I was so impressed with my Mane, I read the Wiki more about streams and summoning, and decided to burn the book to activate the stream.

I can now type -stream and select Demon.

However when I use my Summon Creature scrolls, nothing changes and I still get a Boar appear?

From the Wiki;
Streams affect all summoning spells casted by the character, including those from non-casting classes using items and scrolls.
Not entirely concise, but I took that to mean I could use scrolls to activate my stream?

Did I assume wrong? Is the Book wasted?

Thanks!

This had me confused aswell at first.
The summoning streams only apply to the correct type of summon spell.
Demon/angel streams only apply to spells that already summon an angel/demon.
The elemental streams only work on spells that summon an elemental. (the higher level summon creature spells)
Dragon streams only apply to the summon epic dragon spell.

Ah. So for my Demon - Stream to apply, I would have to use a Planar Binding scrolls?

Well, not quite at that level, but at least the book is not wasted!

Thank you Astegard!

Lesser Planar Binding, Planar Binding, Planar Ally (Cleric spell) or Gate. Those are the spells that gives you outsiders (demons, devil, celestials etc.)
That which doesn't kill you, simply makes you... stranger.
