How to make Summon Wyvern spell more useful?

Hey guys, I've always thought that Wyvern summoning was really cool, but unfortunately these reptiles are quite weak for a 6th level spell.

They're 7 hd monsters, with about 60 hit points, na average thac0 and low atributes, with a poisonous sting. In pnp, at least, they would fly and do stuff that you can't do on Earth.

I don't like exaggerating, though . So the only thing I did so far was changing their atributes to its 3E version (str 22, con 19...) . At least now it can hurt a bit more.

Are there any other summons that you would do a balancing upgrade? Or is there anything you'd also change on wyverns?

    yeah, especially the elemental summoning spells for sixth level, they just rock all the other level 6 summons, carrion summons, invisible stalker, and wyvern call don't stand a chance

    Maybe make it summon a Greater Wyvern instead of a regular one?

    I did that , too - changing it from 7 hd to 10 hd, and changing its thac0 from 13 to 10.
    Now, at least, it can fight against most opponents you'd face at around level 12.

    Sounds solid. Any chance you could post the file somewhere? I do like that spell, especially if you cast Haste on them, but a buff would be nice.

    I too would be interested in this.

    Here you go, just download it and place it in your override folder.

    wyvern summon is epic.

    5 poison dmg per second with a save malus (-4 i think). that's the most powerful poison in the game.

    do what elminster says and profit.

    edit: make it more useful by buffing the wyvern. simple as that.
