Conjure Beasts

Starting at 1st level, you learn how to tap into your natural magic to convoke wild beasts to your help. This natural magic is represented by an amount of conjuring points you have. Once you spend a conjure point, it is spent until you finish a long rest.

Conjuring

The amount of conjuring points spent equals the CR of a beast x 2. For example, to conjure a tiger, you must spend 2 conjuring points, and be at 3rd level. A conjured beast remains conjured for 1 minute.

A beast with a CR 1/4 or lower costs 1 conjuring point, but it lasts for 10 minutes. A CR 1/8 beasts costs 1 conjuring point and lasts for 1 hour. A CR 0 beast lasts for 8 hours.

Starting at 5th level, you can conjure multiple creatures. You can summon up to two creatures with half your maximum summoning CR, or up to eight creatures with a quarter of the maximum CR. For example, at 10th level, you could spend 8 conjuring points to summon either a single elephant, two giant boars or eight brown bears.

Controlling Beasts

A conjured beast acts on your initiative, either before, after or simultaneously to you. You must choose in each of your turns if you or your beast will take an action, bonus action, reaction or move.

When you control your beast to take the Attack action, it makes only one attack, regardless of having the Multiattack trait.

While the beast is conjured, you can see trough its eyes and you share its senses, and can control all of its movements while you are in the same plane.

You can't cast spells or concentrate on them while you have a beast conjured. Doing so immediately dismisses the beast, unless otherwise state.
