![]() 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. Only a jerk DM would give you an underpowered creature like a mephit. Does that imply that you can't summon a fire elemental from a torch or a water elemental from a puddle?ĭoes upcasting the spell guarantee a "better" Elemental?ĭoes the quantity of fire, air, water or earth affect spell? 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. You choose one the following options for what appears: One elemental of challenge rating 2 or lower. 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. 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. ![]() So obviously the spell conjures an elemental, however, I'm uncertain about various aspects of the spell.
