Invocations

As long as a creature with invocations has an unspent spell slot of an invocation’s spell level or higher, it gains the benefits of the invocation.

Some invocations have a variable effect. A creature with invocations sets the minimum spell level and chooses any other options related to those invocations when she prepare spells. For example, an invoker can choose to invoke the dark one with a minimum 4th-level spell slot, applying the +8 luck bonus to her Fortitude saves until the next time she prepares spells. Once she has cast all of her 4th-level and higher spells for the day, the invoker no longer gain the benefits of that invocation.

If a creature possesses multiple invocations with the same minimum spell level, it chooses which of those invocations to stop using as she runs out of spell slots. For example, if the invoker above can channel darkness and invoke the banshee, but only has one 3rd-level or higher spell slot available, she must choose which of those invocations she can no longer use until she regain her spell slots.

Unless specified otherwise, a creature with invocations can only ever have one of each invocation active at a time, and it can only ever have one invocation that creates or summons a creature active at a time.

In that case, you're going to love the s-class warpriest, which has been balanced around the same general power level as the original summoner while still remaining fully compatible with a standard adventuring party. In fact, we are retuning every other class to be on par with that one, and the warpriest is just one such offering. If this proves popular, we'll be sure to release more, and eventually collect them into a full book for POD.
