This is my attempt to import the Summoner class from Pathfinder into D&D 5e as a sorcerer variant/subclass. Much of it remains the same as the sorcerer, but the focus is on summoning and controling a bonded extraplanar entity, called an eidolon, which the Summoner controls in combat and shares a special bond. Customization of the eidolon is part of the fun, and the type of eidolon, relationship to your Summoner, and way of roleplaying the two of them is limited only by your imagination! Because this is a variant class, metamagic is replaced by eidolon evolutions, though the mechanics are almost exactly the same. As a variant class, one is free to determine if charisma, wisdom, or intelligence is the best spellcasting ability that one has in mind for their character and eidolon.
