Unofficial rules compendium

A alienist reaches beyond the extradimensional realms where normal summoners find their servants, into realms of unfathomable darkness and insanity. In this space beyond reason live creatures and disembodied intelligences so alien that no sane mind can perceive them. These ancient existences have unimaginable power and understanding, and by throwing his mind at their mercy, the alienist learns to draw on this power and infuse it into the world.

Class Information

This is a summoner archetype

Hit Die: d8.

Class Features

The alienist has all the summoner's class features, except as described here.

Alien Eidolon

An alienist summoner always has an alien eidolon.

Summon Monster (Sp)

When an alienist uses summon monster as a spell or the class feature to summon a creature marked with a "*" it gains the alien creature template instead of the celestial or fiendish template.

Aspect (Su)

This is the same as the summoner ability of the same name, except it is gained at 8th level.
