Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Useful Summonning skills?

Hi,
I am playing a fighter and I wanted to have some companions. Which summonning skills are useful and which aren't?

I'm still lvl 13 so Demonic Aide still has to wait <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" /> Will rats or skeletons be useful in the meantime?

TIA,
Sheriff

if u get ressurect level 5, aura of command 3/4and master summoner 5 u dont need to summon creatures just ressurect dead enemies, use aura of command on them and they will be as powerfull as they r when they alive. tip:ressurect John the dragonrider that kills u at the begginning he will be a lot of help in the dark forest oh and u didnt hear that from me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shhh.gif" alt="" />.

I think rats and skeletons are most useful as cannon fodder, ie to provide a distraction while you use ranged attacks. I did not used summoned creatures at all as a warrior; if you are playing melee, I don't think rats/skeletons would be much help, from what I've read. You might want to consider Resurrect as well (I maxed it with bought spell books), if you want someone following you around (summoned and resurrected creatures both require Aura of Command for that).

You can buy mage spell books. Good merchants to check are Kistandalius or Blake in Ars Magicana and Corinna or Mpenzak in Verdistis. If you quick save before talking to a merchant, hitting alt or running your mouse over them, you can quick load if they do not have what you want.

i'm the right man to ask because i'm necromancer in soul of playing..
use only skeleton wall,master summoner and demonic aid..
max it..
other spells are waste of skillpts...
and i haven't seen anyone on this forum to explain the way you can make your summoned crue even more powerful,so here it is:
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />you can use both auras on them(normal and magic),you can use bless,m.might,embrace shadows and all you need to do is right-click on every member of your crew and you're set to go <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

only trouble with aura of command is that you loose skillpts,so i summon my guys when entering a larger battle
