Guide:Summoning
- Work in progress*
This is a collection of items I've found in Baldur's Gate 3 that either allow you to summon creatues or improve the performance of creatures you summon. I wanted to put all of these items in one place for my own benefit, but also for the benefit of anyone else trying to create a "Summoner" character.
You do not need all of these items or spells to be an effective summoner, nor are all of these items or spells necessarily good on a summoner character, but each of the items and spells listed in this guide will allow you to summon and enhance creatures. In a full party, you may be able to use most of this equipment spread across four characters, but in a solo playthrough a combination of items listed in this guide combined with other equipment will most likely be optimal.
