 The
Summoner's
Codex
I have always maintained that D&D 5e doesn't
have any good summoning potential. When this
project started it was mostly a port from
Pathfinder 2E's summoner class, but now it has
evolved into something more.

Over the course of a year, and with the help of

community feedback, i bring you the
Summoner's Codex, a living project, centered
around summoning and the study of the planes.
