Invocation Type: Least
Spell Level Equivalent: 2
You call for aid from the servants of your pact-master, summoning (Warlock Caster Level / 5)+1 magical beasts over the next few seconds. These beasts are friendly NPCs, who will stay in your vicinity, and transition with you between areas. Despite not being summons or henchmen, you will still get experience for the beasts' kills.
The beasts will follow you for an hour, or until they are slain. Re-casting the spell will re-summon any fallen beasts and bring any still living beasts to your location, but you can never have more than the original number based on your caster level.
Evil and Lawful warlocks summon beasts with the fiendish template. Neutral and Good warlocks summon beasts with a fey template.
The strongest beast (summoned by a warlock of CL 22+) is 9 HD.
