Invocation

An invoker can channel stored spell energy into summoning spells that he hasn't prepared ahead of time. He can “lose” a prepared spell in order to cast any summon monster spell of the same level or lower. He can use either a cleric or a domain spell to do this. This replaces divine wraith and all additional dice of damage.

Extended Summons

If any deity in the invoker's pantheon gives the ability to summon additional types of creatures with the summon monster spell, the invoker can use this ability. At the GM's discretion, the invoker has access to all additions to the creatures listed for the summon monster spell, even if those additional options are normally only available to certain spellcasters.

Fast Summons

Depending oin the domains the invoker has selected, the casting time of summon monster spells used to summon certain classes of creatures are reduced. Check each domain in the table below. Summon monster spells used to summon creatures of types and subtypes specified have a casting time of one standard action, both when prepared and when substituted using invocation. This replaces all manifestations.

Bonus Feats

At level 2 and every 4 levels thereafter (at 2nd, 6th, 10th, 14th, and 18th level) an invoker gains a bonus feat. At each such opportunity, he can choose a metamagic feat or an item creation feat. The invoker must meet the prerequisites of these feats. The invoker can also select his bonus feats from the following list, and ignores the prerequisites of these feats: Augment Summoning, Moonlight Summons, Skeleton Summoner, Starlight Summons, Sunlight Summons, Superior Summoning.
