Thank you for your time.Most DM will give you your elemental of choice because it's less prone to abuse like the other conjure X spells. However, and this is where I get concerned, neither does it say that we "choose" which level of CR elemental we get, as the Conjure Minor Elementals implies: The first thing I notice is that we don't get to choose which elemental we get, unlike the Summon Greater Demon spells that lets us choose which type of demon we get. So obviously the spell conjures an elemental, however, I'm uncertain about various aspects of the spell. Quantity of element must fill the 10' cube, so if you want a Salamander or Fire elemental, no you can't use a torch, you need to build a bonfire first. You named some other options but don't overlook CR 9 Frost Salamander (from Mordenkainen's) with its five attacks and juicy AoE. DM is free to homebrew more powerful elementals, including by just upscaling the existing MM elementals. In practice that will never happen.ĬR 5 also has Salamanders for fire. Thank you for your time.Only a jerk DM would give you an underpowered creature like a mephit. Does the quantity of fire, air, water or earth affect spell?.Does upcasting the spell guarantee a "better" Elemental?.Can we control the CR of the Elemental?.Does that imply that you can't summon a fire elemental from a torch or a water elemental from a puddle? For CR 7 elementals there are the Elemental Myrmidons from Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes, which I'm uncertain about could be summoned since their flavor text makes it sounds more like they're created? And then I know of no CR 8 or 9 elementals that could be summoned.įinally, returning to the text of the spell, it says that the elemental appears "appropriate to the area" So I wonder whether there's an unspoken restriction there? They give the example of: "a fire elemental emerges from a bonfire, and an earth elemental rises up from the ground". What about upcasting the spell? To my knowledge, the only CR 6 elementals there are is the Galeb Duhr and the Invisible Stalker. So, while we get to choose which element to summon from (fire, air, water, earth), I'm uncertain about what else we have power over? If a 5th level spell slot is expended for Conjure Elemental, are we then guaranteed to get a CR 5 elemental, or could the DM simply hit us with a CR 1/2 Mephit of the appropriate element? Eight elementals of challenge rating 1/4 or lower. Four elementals of challenge rating 1/2 or lower. Two elementals of challenge rating 1 or lower. The DM has the elemental's statistics.Īt Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the challenge rating increases by 1 for each slot level above 5th.You choose one the following options for what appears: One elemental of challenge rating 2 or lower. An uncontrolled elemental can't be dismissed by you, and it disappears 1 hour after you summoned it. Instead, you lose control of the elemental, it becomes hostile toward you and your companions, and it might attack. If your concentration is broken, the elemental doesn't disappear. If you don't issue any commands to the elemental, it defends itself from hostile creatures but otherwise takes no actions. It obeys any verbal commands that you issue to it (no action required by you). Roll initiative for the elemental, which has its own turns. The elemental is friendly to you and your companions for the duration. The elemental disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends. For example, a fire elemental emerges from a bonfire, and an earth elemental rises up from the ground. An elemental of challenge rating 5 or lower appropriate to the area you chose appears in an unoccupied space within 10 feet of it. Choose an area of air, earth, fire, or water that fills a 10-foot cube within range.
