Summoning Themes
-
Certain themes have certain criteria as indicated in their description. We are working on a way to mechanically limit them so for now I would remind all players to check what the theme description indicates.
Conjuration Specialist Wizards are Wizards who have selected Conjuration and therefore have the opposition school: Transmutation.
An example would be The Great Mountain which is the Earth Theme
- Usable only by Conjuration Specialist Wizards, Druids and Clerics with the Earth Domain.
- Bards, Sorcerers, Non Conjuration Specialist WIzards, Clerics lacking Domain: Earth, and any other class that is not specifically mentioned in the OUB test should not be using these themes.
Happy gaming.

Partial Elemental Summoning Access Granted to Sorcerers
- Sorcerers if they wish can now get to select a single elemental summoning theme (fire, water, earth, air) to represent their lineage. We encourage players to develop their spell list around said theme for fun.
-
- Sorcerer must have GSF: Conjuration to represent their commitment to unlocking this power
-
- Use of this restricted theme does not prevent the Sorcerer from using the basic unrestricted themes or EiG the DM only/restricted themes
-
- Sorcerer player must inform the DM team which theme they are binding themselves to at which time you will be given the book, much like the Druids and Wildwalker theme. (Books can also be found but we want to put a custom description on the book to prevent confusion)
