Summoning Streams level range and class specifics

Post by Sartain » Fri Mar 08, 2019 7:53 pm

If one consumes a -stream item, will it affect all levels of summoning spells? For example, will a dragon stream summon tiny little dragons for Summon Monster I?
Also, do streams work for classes with built-in summons like the Blackguard, Shadowdancer and Warlock or are they limited to their base summon?

A dragon stream will affect EDK. Nothing else.

Elemental streams effect the summon creature elemental versions.

Blackguards can have different streams of evil creatures. Example= LE blackguard summons pit fiend but with books can also summon ultroloth. CE blackguard can summon balor and ultroloth. You can only summon a creature one step away from alignment.
Thus a NE blackguard can summon all 3 fiends.

Warlocks are locked to their pact fiends.

Shadowdancer is just a copy of yourself which does not get affected by anything.

Thanks for the info.
This level of detail should probably be added to the wiki (or at least clarified), since it's rather unclear how this exactly works, especially regarding how streams only apply to certain spells and classes
