Probably wanted to make an exciting splash with the new skilltrees, though chicken polymorph ignoring armor definitely seems ludicrous.

I believe Swen said each point of summoning lets you summon 4 totems? That seems equally ludicrous. 40 Totems summonable with 10 ability points? My impression is each point should let you summon 1 totem, which will help make investing in the ability feel important rather than "Oh, now I can summon 20 totems, yay?" Even having 3 or 4 totems plus an incarnate sounds really strong. I also hope the incarnate's visuals scale with the investment in summoning (maybe at certain breakpoints, like level 3, 6, and 9 make them look more menacing and bigger.)
